is dampened by a 3-0 home loss to TNS who ride their luck - and some
poor finishing - to record a flattering win. City end the month with a 4-0 win over a very poor Newtown. |
| October 2011 |

a spirited 2-1 win at Bala Town.City end the month with a 2-0 televised win at Aberystwyth who have goalkeeper Stephen Cann red carded in the opening stages. Llanelli beat Bangor at Stebonheath in the Welsh Premier.. Goalkeeper Lee Idzi in the Welsh Premier Player of The Month for October 2011. |

In both the pattern is the same, trailing 3-0 at half time and clawing one back after the interval but to no avail. Successive crowds of 700+ go home disgruntled. Is the new pitch too good? Too wide?

| April
2006 |
A
solitary strike, a great crashing header more like,
from Paul O'Neill put Bangor through to The Welsh Cup Final
despite the efforts and elbows of Cortze Belle and the would be
full
timers. Down to earth with defeat against visitors Porthmadog
and a winning double struck by "ran away" truck Les Davies.
City lose to Rhyl and draw at Haverfordwest in
the league, lose to struggling Newtown and win at doomed Grange
Quins as the matches run out. |
| May
2006 |
The
season ends on a flat note with a 2-0 Welsh Cup final defeat against Rhyl.
Referee Mark Whitby enters the legion of the damned for a harsh
penalty against Paul O'Neill and then an instant red card shown
to Chris Priest. Somethings never change. Later in the month the Under 21s win the Northern Conference to reach the national final but lose 2-1 to plucky Cwmbran at Rhayader. Paul Roberts is

word and signed for Rhyl. City confirm the signings of Chris Priest, Paul Whitfield and Morgan Jones. The WP season kicks off with a 6-0 win over Llanelli and the International selection of winger Les Davies for Wales U21. The season contiues with promise as Bangor beat Welshpool 4-2 despite trailing 2-1 with Chris Priest red carded. Sadly the red card came at the price of a broken leg which will keep the former Macclesfield captain out of action until Christmas. Big Les makes his Wales U21 bow and Frank Mottram scores his 100th Welsh Premiership goal. Simon Davies re-signs from TNS after an unhappy season or so at Treflan.

Finally City beat visitors Porthmadog 4-1 with Owain Jones netting hist first WP hatrick. |
| October
2003 |
It doesnt get much
worse than losing at home to Glantraeth in
the Welsh Cup, but that was the outcome of a penalty shoot out which
left the visitors chanting "Championes" which actually made no sense,
but there you go. Things got even worse as a depleted side crashed 4-1 at Aberystwyth in the Premier Cup and then needed a late fightback (2 goals in inury time) to draw 3-3 with visitors Haverfordwest. Paul Gedman and Owain Jones the late scorers. City then drew 0-0 at Port Talbot before blasting Caersws 6-1 in the Premier Cup with Ross Jefferies netting a hatrick at The Recreation Ground. |
| November
2003 |
City broke a string of defeats at Barry to win 3-0 but then lost 3-1 at home to TNS in the Premier Cup and by a solitary goal at Haverfordwest in the WP.

2003 |
Paul Roberts announced
his return with a hatrick as City thrashed Caersws 8-1 in the
Premier Cup but could not prevent a 3-2 defeat at Deeside against Connahs
Quay despite a wonder goal from Les Davies. Lee
Hunt also hit a hatrick as City drew 4-4 at Latham Park to progress
in the Loosemores Cup. But bad news was just around the corner as
Ricky Evans departed for Aberystwyth and City could only
draw with Carmarthen. The month ended on a brighter note with a 3-0 win over Afan Lido before an amazing 5-4 Boxing Day success at The Oval with Paul Roberts and Cofi Steve Watkin both hitting hatricks. But, high and lows again, Lee Hunt left for Rhyl after the Belle Vue club served a seven day notice of approach on the Liverpool based striker. |
| January
2004 |
The month started
bleakly for Bangor with the
death of management legend Tommy Jones aged 84. A 3-1 defeat at Welshpool, two red cards (Backmore & Hoy) and some truly dreadful refereeing from another incompetent. More bad news as Owain Jones damages the same foot as before and limped off for another lengthy absence. City lose to TNS but win at Cwmbran with a hint of fortune and goals from Ross Jefferies and Kenny Burgess. Mark Connolly signs from Mallaby of the West Cheshire League as the month draws to a close, so too Steve Hitchin from Macclesfield. |
| February
2004 |
Both Paul Gedman and Paul Roberts score as City beat Newtown at Farrar Road but no one can score - even from two yards - as Bangor slip to a 3-0 defeat to visitors Cefn Druids. Out of favour winger Gary Roberts moves to Rhyl after failing to hold down a place but watches as his new side beat City 2-0 in the Loosemores Cup first leg. |
| March
2004 |
City bid to re-sign Ricky Evans but the big spenders of Aberystwyth hang onto their man, but City win at Park Avenue thanks to an outstanding performance from winger Les Davies. The next match sees a Loosemores Cup exit to Rhyl but a narrow win against Barry at Farrar Road. Dont mention Port Talbot whose 2-1 defeat of City on Bangor soil was a hammer blow. The month ends with news that Clayton Blackmore is to be the new assistant manager of Wales U21, working alongside Glyn Hodges. |
| April
2004 |
A
new month kicks off with Alan Goodall saving a penalty
to earn a one all draw against visitors Caersws, likewise
a Mark Connolly goal against Caernarfon and
then
news that Les Davies had been drafted into the Wales U21
training squad. City beat Connahs Quay at Farrar Road,
before the match Alan Goodall was presented with Suppoerts
Player
of The Season Award. The month closed with an undeserved 2-0 defeat at Rhyl who rode their luck & the assistance of arguably the worse ref in the system at Belle Vue. |
| May
2004 |
The season finally
ends with a 4-1 win at Carmarthen who had avoided relegation,
goalscorers included Frank Mottram who netted his 98th WP goal
and 73rd for Bangor. By the end
of the month Phil Priestley and Steve Hitchin had
said farewell and some degree of uncertainty surrounded the future
of the manager and several of the players.

super strike from midfielder Ricky Evans. City draw with Oswestry
at home but then win 2-1 at Connahs Quay in The Premier Cup and
then draw 1-1 with TNS thanks to a late Eifion Jones
equaliser. Then a 3-0 defeat at Barry which was hard
to swallow, and inevitably the Connahs Quay away match is
postponed. Good job it still the summer.... |
| November 2002 |
Frank Mottram declines an opportunity to return to Farrar Road after City serve the statutory seven day approach. City lose to Newtown, then at TNS but get back to winning ways at Llanelli with a 5-2 triumph with Ross Jefferies scoring on his debut.

win at Caersws. A 0-5 win at Port Talbot sets up a League
Cup final meeting with Rhyl. City win 2-1 at Oswestry where Marc Lloyd Williams notches the 150 LoW/WP goal of his career.

but then lost at Newtown, won at Cefn but lost at Connahs
Quay. Ross Jefferies returns to banish Port Talbot
