Kop land bought by Welsh Gov

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.

Thanks for all that info East

The only thing needing furlougihing around here is you and your JCP, Lager Club Clique, Spirit of 78 mates / relatives. This is a really good news story and well done those on the club board who have helped. But nothing changes unless the club killers go. That includes you.

So this is a good news story yet you're still calling Spencer Harris a 'club killer'?

Spencer Harris should look after the admin side and leave the footballing side well alone IMO.

You really don't know the first thing about me , and I am proud to say that, hopefully, I do not know you. You are just a bitter and twisted tw@ who cannot tolerate an alternative opinion, via the keyboard. If it were face to face I suspect that the conversation would be a little different.

So yet again the club killing gang start coordinating their attacks in some sort of rancid chorus. Colommiers Phoenix swiftly followed as usual by Panda 23. Abuse and lies has been their trade for many years now, but thankfully these days the vast majority can spot it and also take a good guess about who is behind it.

Just to repeat (before these hideous creatures distort the truth) , the deal with the Welsh Govt is really good, and well done to Spencer Harris and the board on that step forward.
