A gateway to the town. Fortunately for us, it goes right past our delapadated kop.
To be hoped that the funds stretch to improving the road/rail bridge which was identified years ago as a bottleneck on entering the town.
WAG have spent (Gateway) money in the past when the new paving and lighting was installed. This next funding input will be a good deal more and should improve the surrounds of the station.

Forgive my ignorance , but where is it stated or suggested anywhere that the club will be able to build a stand on the kop at any point , have any plans been seen regards the future . Where does the money come from .

We started a campaign to save the land behind the kop back in May 2015, which was independent of the Trust and club, because the land itself was politically and commercially sensitive.
We tried to get a number of different organisations interested in buying the land, who were sympathetic to the club, in the hope that at least a part of the land could be saved and a number of fans (independent of the club for the reasons I have mentioned) even met one of these organisations at The Racecourse, but after consultation within, that organisation decided that the land was not suitable. From memory, I think that we received pledges of up to £20k from a number of fans, but as the land was up for £1million, then this was obviously not enough to move forward and so a number of us started to lobby WAG, the council, FAW and the media etc and received responses from Ken Skates and Mike Williams amongst others. They said that they believed that the land should be saved and that they would do whatever they could to make this happen. I seem to remember Ken Skates also said that he was doing whatever he could to save the land in a newspaper interview back in 2015. I think that the club and trust were in a difficult position back then and were not able to make their position known in public as they have needed to remain a lot more discrete for obvious reasons.
With the Wrexham Gateway being such a large project, I would imagine that this has taken a great deal of work by a lot of people, both inside and outside of the club to bring to this to fruition.
Great news for sure.

I just hope they keep Wrexham town planners well away from the project!

Over the years they have managed to take a great little market town with some lovely fasades (like around the old veg market) and turned it into a souless place and where you have to be a long distance walker to get from one shopping area to the next............

First you are unhappy that there is no stand,then you don’t believe it will happen and finally you don’t like the concept for the town careless if it benefits the club - does that cover it ?
