Bangor 1876 Football Club (Шаблон:Lang-cy) is a Welsh football club in Bangor, Gwynedd, who play in the Cymru North, the second tier of football in Wales.

History

Formation of the club

In 2019, the Supporters Association of Bangor City voted overwhelmingly to create a breakaway club in order to protect football in the city, given the club's recent history under Vaughan Sports Management. They stated, “We want fans to reconnect with each other and restore the pride and feeling of being a supporter of our historic club. The new club is a creative and positive solution for an ever-changing and precarious situation. We are not disowning Bangor City FC or its history, the club is OURS, it belongs to the fans and local community. “Owners” will come and go but the people remain. Keep the faith.”[1]

An application was submitted to the Football Association of Wales to enter the new club in the Welsh football league system,[2] and a Supporters' trust set up.[3][4] A women's team, Bangor 1876 Women's FC, was also formed. The club play their home matches at Treborth, Bangor University.[5]

First season

The club competed in the tier five Gwynedd League for the 2019–20 season.[6] The first manager was Mel Jones, with Dylan Williams as his assistant.[7] Former Llandudno and Caernarfon Town manager Iwan Williams was also appointed as Director of Football.[8]

The club's inaugural match was against fellow fan-owned team FC United of Manchester,[9] and the first competitive match was in the Gwynedd League, a 4–1 away victory against Ogwen Tigers on 10 August 2019. A successful first season saw the club leading the league, with a 100 per cent win ratio, when the season was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. They were crowned league champions following the announcement that all Welsh football seasons would finish with a table decided on a points per game basis.[10]

Second season

The club joined the newly formed North Wales Coast West Football League in the tier four Premier Division in 2020.[11] The inaugural season was cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic and instead started in August 2021. The club finished as divisional runners up in the 2021–22 season and was promoted to the tier three Ardal NW League for the 2022–23 season.[12] The club rounded the season off by winning the North Wales Coast West Football League Premier Cup, beating Bodedern Athletic 3-0 in the final.

Promotion to the second tier

The club won their opening match in the third tier against Rhydymwyn FC 8-1.[13] They finished the season in second place and hence qualified for the Ardal Northern play–off final. The club won the play–off final and secured promotion to the tier two Cymru North.
