THE JD Cymru North has been dealt a blow after Bangor City withdrew from the league.

The one time giants of Welsh football have suffered a remarkable fall in grace over the last few years, including demotion from the top flight after failing to meet financial criteria in 2018.

Since the club has lurched from one crisis to another before being suspended from football due to unpaid debts.

The club now faces an uncertain future which could mean starting at the very bottom rung of the Welsh football pyramid.

Remarkably the club remains for sale for an eye-watering £1.25 million.

A statement read: "At Bangor City Football Club, we understand that we have no option but to withdraw from the JD Cymru League for the remainder of the season.

"We arrived to this decision due to the lack of registered players, which number is below the requirement to form a football team.

"Prior to the closing date of the latest registration period, we registered 13 new players who received an immediate entered status, however they were not further confirmed by the FAW

"Bangor City Football Club will return to play next season, regardless of the tier in which the FAW will allow the club to play.

"This will be possible thanks to the 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.

"The Football Association of Wales was already informed about the club’s decision.

"We are hoping to see our loyal supporters and to welcome new faces. We wish that together, you and us, will make Bangor City Football Club shine again."

The removal of the Citizens from the table will mean their record is expunged and impact the placings of Guilsfield, Llanrhaeadr, Penrhyncoch and Llanidloes Town as well as promotion and relegation from the second tier.
