Welsh Premier League
Bangor City 3 Newtown 0 (att 684)
A first visit to Bangor City's new stadium, to recomplete the Welsh Premier League, although I nearly gave up as horrendous traffic delayed my journey into north Wales. I finally joined a queue for the turnstile at 7.25pm, and was inside the ground in time for the slightly delayed kick off.
Bangor started brightly, and played some good football as they raced into a two goal lead. With barely a quarter of the game gone Newtown's plight became even worse when they lost early substitute Zac Evans, sent off for a dangerous late tackle. The straight red card looked slightly harsh, but only slightly.
That effectively ended the game as a spectacle. Newtown defended and frustrated Bangor, who passed the ball around neatly but created few chances. They finally managed a third, a well taken goal, about 10 minutes from the end.
I liked Bangor's new ground, now known by a sponsored title but previously called Nantporth. The dominant feature is an impressive main stand, with smaller stands opposite and shallow uncovered terracing at both ends.
