Bangor City Stadium’s seating capacity will be doubled after “significant redevelopment” plans were announced.
The redevelopment would see the ground upgraded to a Uefa Category 2 Stadium and able to host Women’s competitive internationals as well as Under-21 games and European Club competition fixtures.
New stands will be built behind both goals as well a stand filling in the remaining half of the Menai Strait side of the ground and see seating capacity doubled from 1,045 to 2,226.
Other improvements include upgraded changing rooms and a new function room. A new 4G pitch for an adjacent pitch to the stadium was recently announced.
Bangor City Stadium opened in 2012 as a new home for Bangor City, who left their traditional Farrar Road home.
Following City’s demise, the stadium is now home to Bangor City 1876, a phoenix club which was set up in 2019 by supporters of Bangor City who were concerned at how the club was being run.
The current Bangor 1876 board announced plans to step down at its forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
It will propose Bangor City Stadium take over full responsibility for the men’s team, who will play in the third tier Ardal North West league next season after relegation from the JD Cymru North.
