Keith Gillespie says Bangor should have one main objective on top flight return
Keith Gillespie has welcomed Bangor's return to the Irish League's top flight as he said their objective for next season should be very clear.

It completed a remarkable journey for Bangor as only eight years ago they were embarking on a very different path as they were preparing for life in the Ballymena and Provincial Football League.

Former Northern Ireland international Gillespie is delighted to see them back amongst the big boys again but he says Bangor should have one aim for next season. "They have really got the club back to where it should be. It is going to be difficult next season as a promoted club and with not having been in the league for such a long time," he said. "You look at the money clubs have now it can be quite difficult to compete, but it's great to see them back as it's been a long time. "That first year is going to be about consolidation. It doesn't matter if you finish third bottom you just have to stay in the league and potentially kick on the year after. "I went to quite a few games last season, I always try to get down and support them. They had a great cup run last season as well. I was at the semi-final at Seaview. "Lee has done a great job but the people behind the scenes are important as well. It is going to be hard but it is good to see them back up there. "I'm sure there will be a few new faces coming in now which you have to do as you're going up another level."

Corbisiero led the club to the Nathaniel MG Cup final but could not prevent the Seasiders losing their JD Cymru Premier status. Owing to ongoing uncertainty over the club's destination for the upcoming season in tier two, the decision was reached with the agreement of both parties to ensure that the club can prepare immediately for all eventualities. Until the remainder of the Welsh football season is completed the Seasiders remain in limbo over what league they will be placed in next season with the JD Cymru North and South viable options. A spokesman said: "The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Antonio for his dedication and commitment since returning to the club in November 2024.

Corbisiero thanked the club for the challenge and fans for their support during the club's worst league season in three decades. He said: "I'd like to thank everybody at the club for the opportunity of leading the team in the fight for survival this season - sadly, it wasn't to be and I'm gutted for everybody involved that relegation was the outcome. "My thanks go to the fans who have been with us all the way - especially the incredible support at the cup final in February.
