About

Bangor 1876 Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-Droed Bangor 1876) is a Welsh football club in Bangor, Gwynedd, who play in the Cymru North, the second tier of football in Wales. 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.” An application was submitted to the Football Association of Wales to enter the new club in the Welsh football league system, and a Supporters' trust set up. A women's team, Bangor 1876 Women's FC, was also formed. The club play their home matches at Treborth, Bangor University.Bangor 1876 Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-Droed Bangor 1876) is a Welsh football club in Bangor, Gwynedd, who play in the Cymru North, the second tier of football in Wales.
