Forget an ice bath, this is going one step further. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following their 0-0 draw away at Caersws in the JD Cymru North last weekend, the Bangor 1876 team and staff took a cold water dip in the River Severn \u2013 not the most conventional of post-match routines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there was good reason for it. Organised by Bangor 1876 supporter Mash, the swim aimed to raise awareness for Andy\u2019s Man Club – a men\u2019s suicide prevention charity which offers over 200 free-to-attend support groups across the UK on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charity was set up in 2016 after 23-year-old Andy Roberts tragically took his own life. Andy\u2019s brother, Ricky, is a Bangor 1876 fan and took a cold water dip every day in October as part of a fundraising challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe support shown by the Bangor 1876 players, staff and fans with what Mash arranged was fantastic,\u201d Ricky told The Bangor Aye<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just as important as what big high-profile clubs have been doing. It\u2019s all about reaching out to the community by the community. A man might have seen the show of support at Caersws and thought that he should seek help. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to thank all at Bangor 1876 from the bottom of my heart on behalf of my family. Grassroots football is a family and community is strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
