Well we have to pay for the upkeep of the Racecourse anyway.

The people running our club know what they are doing and I have no doubt they would have been able to make Colliers pay it's way. Perhaps we could have been the ones to set up a partnership with the FAW. It's all conjecture anyway, sadly.

If we can, in due course, make money from renting out time on it, we will benefit, not the FAW or Glyndwr.

Can't be done as it's only a temporary solution and the local council will soon want it back one the old Groves site gets developed. I suggest we look to purchase our own land and start again once we are established back in the FL. Personally I don't think the (south) Wales FA will offer us use of Colliers so let's forget it.

Partly by having a former councillor in his pocket.

So how has he still got a successful business after what he did to wrexham fc?

I must be missing something here.. surely it would be in each party's interest (Glyndwr, FAW and ourselves) to come to some agreement over sharing the facility. Be it financial, logistical, egotistical or jut plain common sense each party has something to gain and little to lose.

Owning our own site would of course be the ideal long term solution, but is anyone aware of the the term (and terms) of the current lease arrangement with the Council?

I thought restrictions were imposed on Colliers in the original planning application to prevent future expansion.

Wrexham Council have never concerned themselves with enforcing restrictions!

I'll be blunt, the FAW won't invest in anywhere and demand Wrexham use it, they wouldn't for Swansea or Cardiff either, do Newport train at Dragons Park? They're investing in it for FAW purposes. Yeah it was awful what has happened to us but it's a Wrexham issue, not an FAW one. They might be open to discussions for a cheap hire costs but they have to make money on it.

Wrexham haven't directly impacted the Welsh national team in a long time. The youth teams who are at Colliers have provided something such as Taylor, Ward and Maxwell but only Maxwell and Taylor had a run in the first team when we gave our young lads a chance about 6 years ago?. Although I really appreciate where the players have got us none of them are Welsh so they aren't a concern for the FAW. If we were bringing players through regularly we could say to the FAW we've got 8 Welsh lads eligible for the Welsh national team, we want to provide the best set up for them, can we work out an agreement?
