Clandeboye Park is home to the illustrious Bangor Football club it has been home of Bangor since…read more1935 and like most football grounds has seen some great days as well as some bad ones. The ground has an excellent history with it also hosting go-karting in the mid 60's. Bangor Football Club are currently in the IFA championship one which is the second tier of Northern Irish football. Bangor's glory days were in the mid 90's were they won the Irish cup and Clandeboye Park hosted UEFA Cup ties. I have fond memories of Clandeboye Park as I spent many Saturday afternoons of my youth cheering on the "Seasiders". Clandeboye Park used to generate an excellent atmosphere especially when local rivals Ards or the big two from the Northern Irish Premiership come to visit.. You can purchase a seaside ticket to Bangor Football Club or you can get tickets on match days. These days it is unlikely that Clandeboye park will sell out. But I would recommend taking in a game at Clandeboye Park as the club has a real family feel and some hardcore fans who actually know their football.

As other people have said, this place at one point felt like a state of the art sports facility and…read morehas kind of been blown out of the water by other sports facilities in the Bangor area. The astro turf pitches used to be booked up every night but now everyone goes to the indoor pitches at Eddie Irvine Sports. This place now probably makes its money from renting out pitches and changing facilities to schools. When I was at school I went up to this place all the time to play hockey and football and even scored one of the greatest goals of my oh-too short football career here. It has excellent transport links and is really close to the Belfast Road. It just seems a little bit out of fashion and the athletics track doesn't have a particularly good reputation.

Now it is primarily used for school events and football pitches. It used to be a hub of activity every evening when playing football on astro turf was the done thing. Now this surface is only associated with is horrible sand burns on your thighs and over priced rental fees. It does boast a full athletics track and small stadium but this is not really used by locals. Also all the pitches are flood lit, so this is handy for the winter months spent perfecting your sporting skills. Other facilities include changing rooms and a clubhouse or function suite. Once upon a time it even hosted an open training session for the France national football team. But all this is in the past and such high profile stars will now flock down the road to Eddie Irvine Sports. The sports centre will not go unused as it plays host to Bangor Hockey club and a few local football teams but gone are the days of having to book pitches 3 days in advance.
