Colliers Park/Gresford/ FAW training ground
1) Our 12th year in non league with not much hope of change 2) Our old training ground Surely I'm not the only one who cannot believe the Football Association of Wales are building a brand new training ground, on the site of our old Colliers Park, whilst Wales' oldest football club struggles in non league, training on a glorified park field. Please can someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but Colliers was built after the sale of one of our best youth players to Birmingham City, our current manager Brian Hughes, and was taken away from us because we couldn't afford to pay for both the ground and the training ground. Taken away from us after it was stolen from us in the first place, by the asset strippers. Now, I'm fully expecting Alan and co to tell me we have no legal right to the site, but morally and in the context of football, Welsh football, I find it disgusting. Surely, the FAW will make plans for Wrexham football club to use this facility? We need to make this a problem for the FAW and I'd like to think the Jimmy's could get involved here. If fan ownership is here to stay I think it's even more important we try to get involved here. When it comes to attracting new players, we all know money dictates, and we can't compete with a lot of other clubs. So, when a new player is shown around the place, it can make all the difference, it's where the first team spend most of their time, their workplace really isn't it? Shortly after signing, Pearson told us at a supporters meeting he realised why Keates got him to sign his contract before showing him nine acres. I'd like to think some arrangement could be made, and we should be putting pressure on the FAW, Council and Welsh assembly. Please tell me I'm not alone here?

Re: Colliers Park/Gresford/ FAW training ground
I’d rather we had our own facility, Dixie and not being second class citizens to something which once belonged to the club. I admire the sentiment but like those flats, it’s a reminder of those who tried to destroy this club for personal gain.

The real issue is how can we move forward with the WFA. Are they prepared to help one of their own and what would it cost? Do they need the facility Mon-Fri each week? Again so many questions, what are the WST doing and where are the comms to the fans? Things like this are the real krux of WST ownership and responsibility. Once sorted it passes to the football board. |

Having a modern training facility to train on every day can only be a positive thing for a football club.

Whilst I appreciate that the WST supported splitting the assets in ‘08, what would’ve happened if they hadn’t? |
