Re: Football museam unlikely - Dismal jimmy
Could someone explain to me the financial gains that
we, on anyone else, would get from having a football museum. It's probably not something that you would visit more than once and to me looks like a white elephant that wouldn't be self sufficient and a drain on resources |

You also have to ask yourself, does Wales have a rich enough heritage in football to warrant a museum... Anyway... If there's to be one...Not much doubt where it's likely to be... |
Re: Football museam unlikely - Dismal jimmy
Alan attack are you a cock? Why the negativity? What is your answer seeing as we have no cash no council support and a university holding us to ransom for stadium up keep. No one on earth needs a welsh football museum we do need rid of the kop

Regardless of what you or I think about it, it was identified as something which might be beneficial to the nation and so public money was being lined up to provide it. We were interested as it might prove to be a catalyst for the Kop redevelopment. It's the sort of public / private thing which has helped with stadium developments across the country, so why not us? Whether or not you think a museum is needed per se (is a museum ever really "needed" in that sense), it would have formed the anchor of the Kop rebuild and made the whole thing cheaper for the club. Without it, I fear we might not see the Kop end tidied up for at least another decade or so. The clear up is too costly for the club on its own, and too costly for the landlord to bother with at all. We need some kind of partnership.... |

It's looking like Newtown are going to get it, they've launched an actual bid and have a fair bit of financial backing behind them already, meanwhile Wrexham council twiddle their thumbs expecting everything for free again.

Re: Football museam unlikely - Dismal jimmy
Very disappointing if true but I've just read the posts on FB and Lesley Griffiths has replied directly to say she hasn't heard anything.
