The Seasiders are pleased to announce a new link up with local startup company TOTAL Ballboy Systems.
We will be trialling their new and innovative ball recovery drone service at first team home matches over the coming weeks.
The system will see an airborne monitoring drone fly overhead and track the match ball throughout the game. When the match ball is detected as leaving the pitch enclosure, one of four ground-based drones will then be automatically dispatched to recover it. In most cases, the ball is returned to the pitch within a matter of seconds!
A spokesman for TOTAL Ballboy Systems said "Football clubs lose quite a number of match balls over the course of a season and this can prove to be quite costly. We are delighted to have this opportunity to link up with Bangor to help them reduce those costs. Our team recently gave the club a full demonstration of our Ball Recovery Service and they were all very impressed!"
The Seasiders hope to have the TOTAL Ballboy System ready in time for Saturday's home match against Limavady United.

Bangor FC Commercial manager Ivor McGucken has welcomed progress off the pitch at Clandeboye Park.
Ivor said: "Bangor FC has changed immeasurably both on and off the pitch over the past few years. There are more and more businesses supporting the club who haven't been involved before. They've bought into the community ethos at Clandeboye and where we want to go.
"Attendances at home matches are increasing and our social media following is also growing. We are pushing for promotion this season and local business like to get involved with teams who are aiming for success. There is a real appetite in the local area to get involved with Bangor FC."
Ivor joined the Seasiders as Commercial manager in 2017. He is experienced in the field of work, having held this position with a number of other Irish league clubs. Ivor has also previously played, coached and managed Bangor FC.
Ivor continued: "The club has come a long way since the board took charge over four years ago. They have stabilised the finances, developed and modernised the social club, improved and cleaned up the ground and setup a new academy with 150 local players. On the field, the team has won its first league title and is now challenging for promotion back to the NIFL Championship.
"We must not forget that all of this has been completed in partnership with supporters, friends and the local community. We are very lucky at Bangor to have people around that care so much and are so passionate about the club.
"From a commercial viewpoint, I’m pleased with where we are at present, but I believe this is only the start and I'm confident that we can do a lot more."
Ivor would be keen to hear from any supporters who may know of any possible sponsorship or advertising opportunities.

Michelle Crawford has been appointed as Head of Women's Football at Bangor FC.
Crawford, a UEFA B licence holder, has over 17 years coaching experience, including 10 years with Linfield FC.

Michelle will also support and work with the Bangor FC senior ladies squad, with the main goal of them becoming a NIFL Women’s Premiership team.

Michelle has extensive coaching experience with a top local club and has a strong belief in how best to develop young players from North Down and the surrounding areas.
"This is another positive step forward for Bangor FC since the new Board took control a few seasons ago. It is another accomplishment for the club, as we continue with our objective of being a community-based club and ensuring all our senior teams reach the highest echelons of football in Northern Ireland."

"I want to ensure girls and women in Bangor, and the surrounding area, are given opportunities to play football for their local hometown club. This is a key objective of the Board.

Newington forced Bangor back for long spells as the game drew to a close, but swift reactions from Anderson and a last ditch clearance from Reece Neale were just enough to secure the win for the Seasiders.
