The rot had undoubtedly started under Geoff, however on the Trust taking over no effort was made to steady the ship, oversight on staff effort levels got far worse, interaction between club and kids got worse. Chester have overtaken Wrexham as the best system locally, if people are happy with that then its a sad state of affairs.

BV - i have personal experience of this in the period you refer to and you are absolutely bang on. There are plenty of good kids around and Wrexham is no longer the draw for talent it once was.
