However, it appears that the 1904 fixture was actually played at Farrar Road Cricket Ground, later home of Bangor City FC.  Penrhyn Park Today the first international football match between Wales and Ireland will take place at the Penrhyn Park, Bangor, kindly lent by the Right Hon. Lord Penrhyn. The B.F.C.
