The Athletic Ground, also known as Aberdare Stadium and the Ynys Stadium, was a mixed sports venue in Aberdare, Wales, which was predominantly used for football. It was the home of Aberdare Athletic, who were members of the English Football League between 1921 and 1927.[1][2] For a single season (1908–1909) it was the home of short-lived pioneer rugby league team, Aberdare.[3]
