Thus providing a platform for economic development in North east Wales and enhancing the local experiences available within North East Wales.

A number of us have contacted Ken Skates, regarding the issue of the Kop, a number of times. He has always said the same thing, it is down to the club to come forward with a business plan; which, let's be fair, we really haven't had the capacity to do so far, as all of our financial resources are needed for our playing budget. We are not going to get the kop re- built without contributing a significant sum ourselves, and this is something which we don't have at present. We have only just taken back the lease of the ground and last year hadn't yet sorted all advertising space, or even stadium naming rights. It is going to take a long time, unless we can get some wealthy individuals onboard or a business who is sympathetic to our cause, as we are going to need money, over and above the money which is needed to invest in the playing budget, as well as maintaining the ground as it is. Doesn't mean that we shouldn't keep the pressure on though.
