Not sure how we fund anything more than the pitches.

Is this just a spin to distract how we have spent on 9 acres and are now being moved on?

Christ. Having a plan when we’re moving is not spin, it’s a necessary move and was probably necessary even without being moved on. If you think it’s spin to have this plan then it probably says more about you than the club.

Such is planning in Wales, there will be a period of public consultation before any application is actually submitted.

If you have any evidence of how much has been spent somewhat abortively it would be great but I suggest you know fcuk all and are throwing around wild accusations because you don’t like supporter ownership.

The redevelopment of a derelict stand at Wrexham AFC's Racecourse ground will be considered by the town's council.

The 4,900-capacity stand, known as the Kop, has not been used for a number of years as it has been deemed unsafe.

Suggestions to replace it include a national football museum and Wrexham council said it would work with the football club in "true partnership".

It comes after the announcement of a new training ground for the National League side in the town centre.

The stadium, also holds the world record as the oldest international football ground after hosting Wales matches.

Council leader Mark Pritchard said: "Wrexham council is working very closely with the club on a number of matters, and the physical redevelopment of the fourth stand at The Racecourse is something which we will be examining in the future."

The stand has been closed off for a number of years
In 2016, the Wrexham Supporters Trust agreed a 99-year lease of the stadium with owners Glyndwr University.

The football club would need to seek permission from the university before any redevelopments begin.

Councillor Marc Jones, who represents the Grosvenor ward, said the stadium was full of potential.

"I am eager for the stadium to be developed, especially the Kop as it's been closed for many years now," he said.

The Kop at the Racecourse was declared unsafe to use
"It would be great to have a stadium with four sides, to have a new stand one side with seats, and have something on the outside as well.

"There have been calls for a football museum or shops, restaurants or a cafe to be built

This sounds very promising.

The council at long last seem to be realising that the town’s crown jewel is the football club.

At a time when it is increasingly difficult to attract people to town centres, our club draws thousands of people into Wrexham town centre for every game, spending their money at local businesses and helping the profile of the town.

The council should be thanking their lucky stars that our club exists, and moving heaven and earth to help redevelop the Racecourse and create the conditions needed for us to move up the leagues.

Is this a dream? Things seem to be going very well for this football club atm.

How many times have we heard all of this before?
Believe it when I see it...

It’s all about money. Who’s going to fund tearing the old girl down. Not WAFC, not the uni. Would you who live in Wrexham Borough support spending hundreds of thousands of your council tax on it.

I think the council involvement will be more from a planning perspective.

The funding is more likely to come from grants and the Welsh FA hence the Wales international coming up in 2019.

This fixture is no coincidence.
