Junction of A483 and A489 on edge of town centre. Turn into Park Lane from Park Street by Town Library. Ground 400yds on left at end of Park Lane (behind Police Station).

One of Wales' oldest clubs, Newtown became founder members of the LoW and have been ever-present since.
During this time the club has finished runners-up in the league and played European ties against teams from Latvia and Poland.
But Newtown's on-field prowess has generally failed to match the off-field ambitions of the management.
With the appointment of new manager, Roger Preece, the Robins are looking for improved results in 2003/4.
Picturesque, compact and atmospheric, Latham Park is by far the best Welsh Premier ground in mid-Wales and is used as a venue for European games by TNS, among others.
