BANGOR City have had their mammoth 42-point deduction appeal decision adjourned by the Football Association of Wales.

Citizens’ officials came away from their showdown with the governing body with no definite conclusion despite pleading their case at a special hearing on Tuesday and later issuing a statement that the original ruling had been “nullified”.

This was denied by the FAW in a statement on Tuesday evening, which confirmed a new meeting on June 24.

It read: “At the hearing, fresh information was submitted by Bangor City FC, which the Appeals Panel felt required further consideration.

“As a result, the Panel took the decision to adjourn the hearing until 24 June 2019, at which point the Panel will be reconvened to consider the appeal submitted by Bangor City FC.”

The governing body released a lengthy statement regarding multiple charges that were issued against the club in April, with the points tally taken off their recently concluded Huws Gray Alliance campaign.

This would mean a second straight relegation due to off the field issues.

Holywell Town and other clubs from across the region remain in limbo, with many already starting pre-season without knowing which level they will be playing in next term.

It was been a difficult time for the Citizens, who were relegated from the JD Welsh Premier League despite a second placed finish and securing European qualification, due to a failure to obtain an FAW Domestic Licence.

Debts of £80,000 were revealed by the club in January after their EuroGold Stadium was closed briefly as a result of a failure to pay a water and electric bill, shortly before Stephen Vaughan Jnr returned to the fold behind the scenes as chairman.

A host of senior squad members departed during the January transfer window, with then-boss Gary Taylor-Fletcher forced to play a host of Academy prospects for the remainder of the campaign.

Much worse was to follow at the close of the season, with Taylor-Fletcher leaving his post and the FAW imposing a transfer embargo that prevents them from signing professional players until December 31.
