Not really. Orient almost went under as did we. Chester did go under. The point for me is that I am not against out side investment but it needs to be controlled. For example I wouldn't want a sugar daddy to own the club 100%.

How would you identify this "right person?" Would you be able to forecast his future prospects thus ensuring we did not go under if he s/he went under? If I won the lottery and offered, as a loyal fan, to take the club over 100% how do you know I wouldn't blow the money and collapse everything I was involved in? There are no guarantees under any form of ownership but at least under the current system we are not at risk of an individual's whims or misfortunes bankrupting us or leaving us in the proverbial mire again.

We was upset that they had lost a really good player to Coventry (same league). The Shrews could not compete with the wages that newly promoted Coventry are offering. That’s reality. Coventry get three times the home gate, and that’s what make a club big and sustainable.
Wrexham get the some of the biggest crowds in the division, but the sugar daddy factor cuts in here. This balances all out. A fairly level playing field, which means that good management and coaching makes all the difference.
We will if Sam measures up!
Four seasons 78-79,79-80,80-81,81-82.

But who's the right person?

We have a 99 year lease. is the right person still going to be around or alive after 50 years or do we start looking for the right person again and again.

As a fans owned club we can build things up as we have been doing, as Pagl points out, we need to look at increasing the membership and canvassing local businesses for support. Maybe offering them a pair of season tickets for £750 that they can pass on to the workforce.

We are moving forward, we now need forwards to move us.

I think our chances of getting out of League One would be slimmer than our chances of getting out of the Conference now, but not unimaginable. From memory I think Gillingham did it with similar crowds and a not very flush Sugar Daddy.


If we ever reached league one there would be calls for a Sugar Daddy. Hey ho.

1. Due diligence
2. If it all went wrong we would be back where we are now - fan owned.

ffs just put the club up for sale on a 50/50% basis. at least that way we might have half a chance of getting some decent owners in and getting promoted.
They will have nothing to gain moneywise as we have no assets so why not try it?
better than another year of us getting gates of 5000 and pretending we can't compete with rag arse rovers who have got a financial backer (bulls##t).
