Interesting that RR. I wonder how much the club will be paying?

I’m pretty sure most of the residents of Wrexham would be quite happy for their extra couple of quid per annum through Council Tax to be directed towards a facility to develop the Town’s most famous asset. Far better than increasing the number of councillors, increasing their pay, maintaining ten executive board members, whilst every service is being cut. Surely??

Are we putting options to buy in these century long leases
Its a long time, and you never know, we could hit the jackpot one day.

I don't think we could buy it with the covenant on it that means it must be an educational facility.

We'll be in the championship by then all happy clapping ��

Is a two pitch training facility enough for us longer term (it would be a massive upgrade from what we have now so do not get me wrong) and does the lease mean we can also 'dispose' of the land in the future perhaps to fund buying a huge plot of land elsewhere in 50 or 100 years time?

It sounds like there could be a local battle to 'save the 9 acre' from having a school on it, so hopefully this transaction is separate from that and the club doesn't get embroiled in any barney there, and this is not dependant on that happening - or not.

Council decision on Groves revealed - covenants could be altered to allow football club use of part of the site - Wrexham.com

Appears initial talk was 150 year, now 99 year firmed up.

However, it seems this will only happen if the 9 Acre gets a school built on it.
