Seasons

The Little Giants

Based at the Maes-y-Dref ground Bangor Football Club was formed in December 1876.[1] During this time the only competition for the new club were friendlies until the formation of the new Welsh Cup in 1877. Bangor's first copetetive game would be against Caernarvon Athletic.[2] Bangor left the field while trailing to Newtown WS 3–1. The reason being a Newtown WS player struck a Bangor player and a fight broke out. Both teams complained to the FAW while claiming the match, (Bangor for foul play and Newtown WS for leading the game when the fight broke out). The FAW ordered a replay to which Bangor refused and withdrew from the FAW[2]^♥ . After the Northern Welsh Football Association collapsed Bangor returned to the FAW^♦ . Bangor Dismissed^♣ .
