I attended my first football match for about 50 years last Saturday. Bangor 1876 v Ruthin Town in the Welsh Cup. Bangor 1876 is a club only formed in April this year by fans/supporters disgusted with the owners of Bangor City - a group of charlatans and rogues (allegedly) - who have alienated most of the loyal supporters over the last few years and led to this schism. A friend is heavily involved and I had promised to go along to support them, I do like the idea of supporter owned clubs. Attendance was about 400, and they have regularly had attendances of over 300 in the Gwynedd league...which is unheard of. Although Bangor lost 2-0, it was a creditable performance against a team 5 leagues higher. Pretty certain that I shall go along again!
Back in the late '60's I would regularly support St Neot's Town in the Metropolitan League and then , I think, the United Counties League, stopped around 1969.
