It was a good move to bring Home Park back to public ownership.

At this time and with public services under pressure I can't see council investment in The racecourse being welcomed. The councils interim help in allowing use of the Nine Acre is a huge help and that came about, i assume, via an ex council senior officer who happened to be a director of the club.
I agree that the council using public services here would not be welcomed unless it was part of a major North Wales drive, linking entertainment & sporting events, tourism etc etc now that surely would be welcomed, yes the football club benefit of course we do but so would the wider community.
