Directly.....why would the FAW invest in us? Why should they?

How?
I think we have more coaches than players at the present and to assist them
we have the the wonderful Glyndwr trying to attract students.More unemployed
students.
I think the whole situation is a complete fraud and should be subjective to a
financial audit.
The only winner is Glyndwr and its survival.
Wrexham football club is not in any of the planning.

Easier to blame the WAG/FAW than to see the answer is much closer to home. Wrexham Council fail the football club again.

I think the club do everything they possibly can and have taken on the lease in the hope the events will raise money.

However once again WCBC do nothing at all.

Although neither do the FAW in terms of the COE and grass roots football despite various promises with the money from the Euros.

The WAG rarely see anything beyond the heads of the valleys.

They are all to blame for failing the club.

its not just the cost of building it ,but who pays the upkeep/wages of staff after;museums are free to enter so where does the money come from

Add to Wrexham Museum - Although the site is now getting to small for the amount of exhibits - Perhaps the new Peoples House on Chester Street should have been planned with a museum section incorporated.

I'm not sure what the WAG haven't done that they've done for clubs down here. The major difference (again) are the councils involved. Wrexham's is clueless.

As much as we all want funding available to redevelop the Kop, I don't think that a Welsh football museum in Wrexham is a viable project. Yes Welsh football was founded in Wrexham but it would become a huge white elephant. Once football fans in North East Wales have visited it once and seen what it has to offer then what next? I can't see people flocking to Wrexham just to visit it and I can't see opposing National League fans wanting to go there either. I'll put my tin hat before i say this but it should be in Cardiff where it would get maximum exposure, Wales play home matches in the capital city so it becomes accessible to all Welsh football fans following the national team as well as potentially being of interest to other Nations fans watching games

Public money for the Kop is needed and very welcome but it needs to be based on something sustainable whether that is football related or not.

And where would the visitors come from.? Wrexham is tight up against England, so not much interest from there.. Mountains to the West as far as Ruthin or Corwen...So its mainly North East Wales and the coastal strip up here...
Mid Wales isn't very highly populated, so not too many from there..
Then you have to wonder, how many would make the tortuous trip up from the South East to look at photos of John Charles and the like..

There is a Building in Cefn Mawr lying empty called the Glass house . the Council refused throw any more money at it. And Cefn is home to the oldest football club in Wales. just a thought.
