Sorry Back of the Kop - I should have been more accurate and specified the earlier 80s when we plummeted from Div.2 to the lower regions of Div.4 when Dixie became manage!!!!

Yes indeed, 82-83 encapsulated back to back relegations and 10 years of toil until Flynnie worked his magic however there were some brilliant European nights back in the 80's that we can only dream about these days.

It's hard being a Wrexham fan in the 21st Century. One disaster after another.

Yeh the 80s were a nightmare playing Roma, Zaragoza , Porto etc... Im so glad we are stuck where we are now with a club run by a bunch of clowns. We might have had only 1800 back then but don't forget the population of Wrexham has nearly doubled in the last 35 yrs.

The 80's were brilliant. We set out to play an attacking game - sure we didn't win every game, but we saw lots of goals. The Euro experiences were great for those of us lucky to witness them. Yes, I was disappointed when we dropped like a rock from division two to division four, but at least we had the status of being a "league" team.
Our stadium had four sides then, and if we were playing well or drawn against a fancied club, we might well attract 10-15 thousand fans. Today we are struggling to beat Tinpot Rovers, huddled in a stand with a leaking roof. Those were the days!

Lockdown has changed all and I have taken more notice just to keep in touch with any Club news.
I did venture to comment on here, for my first ever post, that I felt it was wrong to claim an ST refund for the 5 missing matches and was pilloried for my views; and on having time to analyse SP that a number of the more regular contributors are of the 'not a penny more' to be donated to keep the club going at this lean time makes me more than a little sad
The new season will be my 65th and though I left Wrexham in 1962 I have had an ST for 10 years and will continue to contribute and to make the 150 mile round trip until I am unable to do so.
The last thing that I want is to see my beloved football club die.
As a result of lockdown I have been out 3 times, travelled 10 miles in the car and had two European holidays postponed in this close season; so I'm in the fortunate position of being able to make a substantial contribution to club funds - I will be glad if the 'not a penny more' brigade will decline to comment.
I am a member of WST and quite happy to pay my £15.00 a month membership, but, because of age and distance I am unable to contribute any discussion or comment on the seemingly hate campaign against the current board but hope that a suitable outcome can be reached.
We all want better performances than the season just gone and many believe that Dean Keates may not be everbodies choice, but I feel that he has gone some way in eliminating Brian Hughes' signings, and that Harris,Jarvis and are Keillor-Dunn,are an improvement, and great efforts should be made to sign Kennedy, Ponticelli (if only on loan) and Brad Walker.
Believe me the football served up in the late 80s was worse than now and in front of 1800 people.
The management mistakes were made on the sacking of Dennis Smith and the appointment of Brian Carey instead of a Darren Ferguson/Kevin Russell duo.

Good post those who abuse others for having a different point of view to their own please take note it does put put some off posting. The more fans that post the better we are able to judge the opinion of the majority.

Noticed that the two Chester fan's have raised £26k between them. Though sounds like it's pledges, rather than coin in the bank.

I'm convinced that our total would be double what it is currently if we didn't have the three stooges in charge....no respect = no funds!

And the rest.

Maybe someone could set up a poll, along the lines of how much would you pledge if the stooges were not in charge, along with Keates, obviously.

Have any of the WST board made any attempt to promote this? Having a look on twitter and none of the ones I follow appear to have even retweeted it.
I rarely go on facebook so couldn't comment on that but surely they should be making a bigger effort?
