Also, side issue if I may. Why did Wrexham games always use to kick off at 3.15? I thought it was cos of shifts at Gresford Colliery? At least they didn’t go to Chester....... |
It is because Border Breweries owned The Racecourse and lots of pubs in the town. In those days pubs had to close at 3pm due to licencing laws. Border thought that by delaying the kick-off it would encourage less fans to leave the pub before closing time.
