Big Den at the racecourse one way or another...

Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Brilliant news.
|
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Well done all involved and Ryan Giggs for pushing for this, seems some porkies were being told about not being able to host international friendlies at least at the Racecourse by the FAW.
Fingers crossed we'll see more of the same in the future. |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Great news, with Big Den being able to say hello to his old muckers!;)
|
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Huge well done to the people involved in getting the ground up to standard.
|
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Sensational news.

Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Why am I struggling to get excited here?

Because you’re a fliping silly billy. Wales haven’t been here for years, won’t ever be for a competitive game again, and all those hardy travellers and people who piled into the streets after Euro 2016 get to see their country in the flesh without the most miserable trip in Britain for once. It’s good for the town, the club and Welsh football. If it’s not for you that’s cool, but it’s only positive so if you can’t feel it then it’s something inside you, not because there’s anything wrong with this news. |

I believe the new tunnel flame design was the clincher :44:[/QUOTE] I thought when the changing rooms were done, it was ensured, later to much fanfare that they were up to scratch? After that it was the Kop being used as an excuse, Giggs has spoken many times about wanting a game at the Racecourse as a way of repaying the loyal following who travel from North Wales in great numbers every game. Hopefully the FAW haven't allowed this because the revamped Colliers will be opening around the same time.... |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Great news, been a long time since we’ve had them up here. Hopefully a good turnout with the qualifiers starting a few days later.

They definitely ruled it out because of the pitch when they looked to play Iceland up here. |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
And some said they never play again up here....... Well done to the WST again.

Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Be weird not going to the Full Moon for a Wales home game but Penny Black will do.
Brilliant news |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Which side will he be managing by then? Wrexham or T & T?
|
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Great news, seems a big coincidence!
Offering a friendly with help of fa as a sweetener to release Big Den? Probably not as looks like Challinor, but thought had crossed my mind! |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
It’s all good news and if it helps with grants to facilitate knocking down and remediating the Kop then it’s even better.
|
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Great news and potentially we can scout some T&T talent!

Desperate from the Trust, selling out our ground to get big den here!
|
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Great news, it cost me a small fortune for the last friendly and stop over for the family in Cardiff. It will be first experience of watching Wales for some locals.

Well maybe you can bring your Fred the Red pillow case so Ryany Giggsy Wiggsy can sign it for you :) |

Will certainly make it harder for the council to ignore what a fantastic asset for the area the Racecourse is having such events and the boost the local encomy will receive each time. |

Perhaps it will also kick start the FAW and WAG into investing in the ground/area/transport hub. |

It's up to the council to seek funding from the WAG and how they propose to back it, match funding, partners like the WST etc. I can't see the FAW doing too much as everyone else will come asking. |

I’d love the Trust and the Uni to commission a feasibility study for the Kop. It would identify the key issues at hand and, more importantly, the costs of demolition and clearance or reinstatement. It would also explore available grant options (if such exist). |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
Trinidad and Tobago rated 93rd. Can't see many first team players turning up for Wales.
What is Giggs trying to prove with this type of opposition? |

Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
What happened to the “we can’t host international matches” stuff? Was that a myth?

In other words, a training exercise. |
Re: Wales v Trinidad & Tobago at the Racecourse, March 2019
All freindly games are a training exercise, surely?
I can’t wait to see Wales playing at their true home. It’s going to be great. |

Excuses from the other end, throwing one obstical after another in the way. Also a previous manager not wanting to go against the status quo, not wanting to play friendlies which has put the national team in a bit of mess. More likely, Wrexham doesn't have fine dinning or plush hotels as Cardiff does. |
All times are WMT (Wrexham Mean Time). For non-town viewers the time now is 11.05:31. |
