Bangor City facing fresh points deduction charge
Bangor City are facing a new FAW disciplinary charge which could see them relegated.
The Citizens originally had a 42-point deduction but that was later reduced to 21 after a hearing last week.
The club have now launched a second appeal against the 21-point deduction, which will be heard by an Independent Arbitration Panel, with no date finalised as of yet.
The Gwynedd club announced on Monday that they would be submitting an appeal to the FAW to ‘clear the name’ of the club.
It comes at a time when Bangor City’s FAW Championship North fixtures had been revealed, alongside their draw in the Nathaniel MG Cup.
The FAW released a statement today confirming that the case will be heard by an Independent Arbitration Panel:
- In relation to the charges concerning ‘Player A’, it was found proven that Bangor City had entered into an Employment Contract with ‘Player A’ as and from 1 January 2019 and not from November 2018 as previously alleged. As a result, ‘Player A’ participated in 7 (seven) matches during this period. The Appeals Panel therefore decided that Bangor City FC be deducted 21 points from their Huws Gray Alliance League record for the 2018/19 season.
- The charges in relation to ‘Player B’ were found not proven by the Appeals Panel and as a result the 9 (nine) point deduction given to Bangor City by the Disciplinary Panel was removed.
In accordance with FAW Rules, Bangor City have appealed against the decisions detailed above to an Independent Arbitration Panel.
Furthermore, an additional disciplinary charge has been issued to Bangor City FC:
- Bangor City Football Club have been charged with the Disciplinary Offence as set out under FAW Rule 38.1.2 for the alleged breach of Huws Gray Alliance League Rule 7, in that on 22 March 2019 the Club allegedly played ‘Player A’ in the Huws Gray Alliance League match between Prestatyn Town and Bangor City whilst ineligible.
