The Seagull's fresh start in the Welsh league has been over shadowed by the dramatic suspension of Bangor City Football Club following a dispute with the Football Association of Wales.
Colwyn Bay's scheduled opening league game on August 17th has been postponed as Bangor have been suspended from all football pending an arbitration meeting over their dispute with the FAW over their points deduction.
With the Bay facing the prospect of three weeks without a game, manager Craig Hogg is trying to arrange a friendly for this Saturday.
"It is unfortunate and it compounds Sunday's result away to Gresford in the Cup," commented Hogg.
"We do hope to confirm a friendly this weekend, but that will be subject to FAW approval and confirmation of appointed match officials. We hope to have that clarified at some point this evening or later tomorrow.
"The worst case scenario for us is that we won't have any sort of game until we host Flint on August 23rd, as so many teams are now back in season mode, both here in Wales and across the border.
"If that scenario does become a reality. then we will have to go back into a 'mini' pre-season plan and just get on with it.
"I can't imagine what position our colleagues at other clubs have now been placed in."
