It's an asset. There's nothing wrong with pumping money into assets. Far better than losing the cash...

Sick of reading the negative shite on here....Great news for the future.
Groves is lucky to still be there for a start and not converted into flats
Whilst some would like us to throw all the money at a couple of players on way down for their final pay cheque...Good moves forward !! Up the Town !!!

Yes, the concept of long-term planning.

Agree by the way. Can't see this being anything other than good news for the club.

Do the people complaining on here seriously think that we're just going to pay for this all up front so we have no money for players.

Councillor Mark Pritchard said, "Subject to approvals, addressing current conditions and legal requirements for the site, it is hoped that the club could begin training on grounds at the former Groves school in 2020."

This is still very much in the planning process and we need to move to facilitate the council's plans to build a primary school on nine acres, so I doubt very much that the 150 year lease will be any more than the current rent.

With regard to the infrastructure, there's a very good chance that the bulk of this expenditure won't even fall within this financial year anyway.

It's not so long ago that Spencer told the club AGM that he was optimistic about a proposed deal with the FAW to return to Colliers Park. What's happened to that?

Cheers, I think

We need a training ground as we can't stay where we are and even if we could its not ideal. So we need a training ground and the club have sorted it , I don't see a problem.
I doubt they've gone to GB and said we need to take some money out of the player budget to pay for it. Even the most basic thought process should tell you this.

This is great news.

An interesting comment from Mark Pritchard too. Perhaps there is other stuff in the pipeline.

“Cllr Pritchard added: “Football – and Wrexham AFC in particular – plays such an important part in the day-to-day life of Wrexham and this work marks the start of much closer working between ourselves and the club.””

Will we be reimbursed for the money we've spent on nine acre? Smarts a bit that we had a great training ground that was stolen from us but you can't live in the past so must hail this as a welcome development provided it doesn't reduce our playing budget materially
