Bangor City Football Club. . . . .

Clubs Association...
Bangor City Supporters' Association is a body independent of Bangor
City Football Club, but with a real voice in running the Club. The
Supporters' Association Chair is automatically a member of the Board
of the Football Club and there is now a regular exchange of views and
news between Supporters' Association members and the directors of the
Club. The Supporters' Association has also received shares from the
Club in recognition of the increasing support that it has been able to
provide.
Funds raised by the Supporters' Association have already contributed
towards the signing-on fees of important first-team players, assisting
with the financial commitments of the club as agreed by members and
have also purchased training equipment for the Club's Youth Academy.
Formed in 2004, the Association holds social and fundraising events,
such as Sportsman's Dinners, Casino Nights, Annual 7-a-side
Tournament, Veterans' Cup, Annual Duck Race, BBQs, Matchday Raffle,
Big Prize Raffles, SA merchandise and many other events aimed at
getting supporters together, raising funds for all sections of the
Club - and having a good time!
The Association has held a number of successful Sportsmen's Dinners
with guests from national radio and television and most recently the
guest speaker was John Toshack, Manager of the Wales football team.
The Association recently held another successful Soccer Sevens
tournament for adult, Under 9 and Under 11 teams that attracted
entries from across North Wales and Cheshire. As with our other events
this was enabled through our links with local businesses such as
Bangor and Caernarfon Business Against Crime, the Deiniol Centre,
McDonalds and Patrick's Bar.
Future events planned include a match played between Bangor City
Legends and Everton FC Legends to be played on Sunday August 26th and
will see the return to Bangor of players who have represented the city
over recent decades.
The match will be played at Farrar Road in what will be the last
season at the ground after over eighty years. We are currently
collecting information, photos and stories about the ground and
people's memories and it may well be that this would be of interest to
readers of your History Page.
Later in the year it is planned to hold a Santa Run through the city
and we have held successful talks with local council officials, North
Wales Police and other interested parties. Our primary interest is in
supporting and promoting our football club but in doing this we are
mindful of the importance of recognising and promoting in a positive
way the city, its people and businesses.
We wish you well with the website and promoting the positive benefits
of living in Bangor.

I am not a big football fan, but I don't think moving Bangor City FC
to outside the city is NOT good for Bangor or the team. Small
football
teams like ours need all the help they can get and altough parking
was
always a problem at its current location, access by foot will be a
problem next season as it is too far to walk to Menai Bridge.
The same can be said about our new cinema...AGAIN out of town!!!
What are the planners trying to do? Kill the City????
Bangor City FC should be easily accseeable to the masses, does anyone
care to comment? Am I right?
