 Aberdare finished 9th in the 1925/26 season, but a combination of circumstances, including industrial action amongst the local mining community which affected attendances and the burning down of a wooden grandstand, meant that Aberdare's poor financial situation deteriorated.At the end of the 1926/27, Aberdare failed to gain re-election to the league and were replaced by Torquay United.Beaumont left that summer, but was soon appointed as manager of Blackpool, another club with severe financial problems at that time.
