Firstly, how long have you been a supporter of Bangor?

HUW: I've been a supporter of Bangor since I was 8 years old when my mam took me to my first game at Farrar road. And I've been a supporter of Bangor 1876 since the club was formed in 2019

JONATHAN: I moved to Bangor in August 2007 and have been following Bangor since then, and have been following Bangor 1876 since our creation in 2019. Football's been an important part of the history of Bangor and it's great that 1876 are helping to keep that going.

What has been your stand out moment of the season so far?

HUW: There have been many great moments this season. But if I was to choose one it would be beating Rhyl at home when we scored the winner in the last few minutes which made it 10 times better. The whole day of the Rhyl game at home was special.

JONATHAN: Our 3-2 win away to Flint Mountain on 31 March is one that really stands out due to the way the players showed real determination to come back form 2-0 down to earn a dramatic victory with two late goals.

. What has been the most disappointing moment of your season?

HUW: Losing to Llangefni at home. That loss cost us the league.

JONATHAN: I suppose you could maybe pick one of the games in the league where we dropped points and left feeling we could have got a bit more out of the game. However, they're balanced out by quite a few games where we kept going and scored crucial late goals - like at Flint Mountain - to earn some really valuable points.

Which player or players should Cefn Albion be wary of today?

HUW: I think Cefn Albion should be wary of every Bangor player as they are all brilliant players and have performed very well this season. They should be wary of Shaun Lock's throw-ins though, as they are like a free kick.

JONATHAN: That'd be telling! More seriously, I think both teams are here today because they've got a number of people in their squads who can make a difference on the big occasion.

Who's your favourite player and why?

HUW: It's hard to choose one player as my favourite because I love them all haha. Shaun Lock is one of my best mates so I'll go with Shaun as my favourite player because he loves playing for the club and for the fans and understands what it means to play for Bangor as do all the other lads.

JONATHAN: I don't really have one particular player that I'd say is my favourite. There are so many that have shown a real will to win, talent, and really embraced what we're about as a club.
