Re: Wales training at the Racecourse

All this talk of a welsh football museum, we allready have one, if the Welsh F.A. can only but open their eyes. We are the oldest football club in Wales and the third oldest professional football club in the World. Welsh International football was founded in Wrexham, as was inter-regional football; South Wales played little part in Welsh football for the first 20 years. The Welsh FA's headquarters remained in Wrexham until 1986. Wrexham AFC were the first winners of the Welsh Cup and hold the record of winning the cup more than any other team The Racecourse is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest international football stadium in the world, still in use today, and it was exclusively the home of Welsh International Football for the first 15 years of the association's history. The stadium also retains the structure of the oldest public house at any football stadium in the World, within which, there still exists the upper rooms in which Edward Manners, and others, founded the oldest club in Wales. In the same place, there may also still exist parts of a room which is the oldest changing room for footballers, anywhere in the World. The club itself holds many firsts, which have also been highlighted elsewhere on RP. In addition to this, the ground holds a significant role in the history of horse racing in Wales and the UK, not least as The Racecourse is believed to have been at the forefront of establishing the Galloway Racing Association in the UK in 1899, with a Mr A. W. Berkeley of Wrexham being the first secretary of the association. When you add to this that the eastern perimeter of the stadium was built on land that was determined by a boundary of reclaimed land that the Welsh had taken back from the Anglo-Saxons, in Pura Wallia, then what more history is needed for The Racecourse to be recognised as the most historic ground?
