Bangor City. Football club dissolved after compulsory strike-off

Three-time Welsh champions Bangor City FC have been dissolved by companies house following a compulsory strike-off.

The football club, which has been dormant since February 2022 amid unpaid debts, withdrew from the Welsh second tier in February 2022 and has remained inactive since.

At the time they claimed they had “no option” to continue playing due to a lack of eligible players.

The club had been given seven days to pay outstanding fines or face expulsion from the Cymru North league. They later surrendered their lease on Nantporth Stadium.

With £55,000 worth of debts, that season’s results were expunged, with owner Domenico Serafino having tried to put the club up for sale for £1.25m.

“Bangor City Football Club will return to play next season, regardless of the tier in which the FAW will allow the club to play,” Mr Serafino said at the time.

“This will be possible thanks to new players that are at the club’s disposal, the staff, fans and volunteers, but also thanks to the new investors who will support and guide this historic club through this new beginning.”

It is the stadium where both Bangor 1876 and Merched Bangor play – the city’s senior men’s and women’s clubs.

Last month supporters of fan-owned club Bangor 1876 voted in favour of changing the club’s name to “Bangor City 1876” by a margin of two to one.

The club was set up in 2019 by supporters of Bangor City who were concerned at how the club was being run, which included the loss of its place in the top flight over financial concerns.
