Of course it does!

I don’t know what the set up was with Chester City Council, as they were, and Chester City FC, as they were, back in the early 90s when they were relieved of their ground for the building of the Greyhound Retail Park.

My recollection is they were royally screwed over and left without a home hence them trekking over to Macc. So, if Chester City Council built them a new stadium then I suppose they helped them out.

Thought Lego built it for them

If you’re a non Wrexham supporter, it looks like WCBC or the Govt funding the demolition and remediation of the Kop for businesses to profit from.

When I lived in Chester, I wouldn’t have been happy if Cheshire West and Chester Council were using my council tax to help Chester FC.

So the last paragraph seems to suggest you aren't willing for the council to help us.

But quite rightly the were well and truly screwed over but if their local council hadn't been bothered to help them out somewhat they would have probably folded then.

We are not asking a great deal at all, if they just help with a small cog in the overall wheel.

We, along with key partners including Wrexham AFC, Glyndŵr University and the Football Association of Wales (FAW), have aspirational plans to significantly develop the profile of football in Wrexham.

Those plans include

The improvement of the Mold Road gateway leading into town, including the train station and the Racecourse;
A new football development centre at Colliers Park;
Plans – recently discussed by Welsh Assembly – to develop a National Football Museum in Wrexham;
Work by the Council and Wrexham AFC to secure a permanent location for a training ground

Another load of twaddle. So now WCBC and FAW are going to improve some pitches in the borough because the FAW have thrown in £50k. Is that right?

The other stuff is just a smoke screen. What about the clubs training pitches?

Without this training ground and loss of 9 Acre the above notes as of November "• Local 4G the only contingency options for the training ground"

So Groves or a local 4G pitch? No brainer.
