I made my bed and I’m ok in it

I’m sure there will be someone adept at this type of thing able to moderate so I wouldn’t worry

Unemployed single mother asked for £420 - tell me more, I'm all ears to this.

Nothing whatsoever surprises me under the current regime - only one thing is certain - they all need ousting.

Youth team started charging high subs fees, wouldn’t subsidise people who would struggle to pay. We lost some talented youth players.

Perhaps not just the youth players but a whole lot of support by people who hear this - it's increasingly difficult and a massive disadvantage in trying to bring a kid up as a single mother - even more so if you have more than once child - this club seems to shoot itself in the foot at every step - another reason to do all in our power to rid ourselves of the current regime. Life cannot get much more cruel to see a kid and a single unemployed mother being excluded on these grounds.

Worth adding I had raised £7k doing a walk 3 months earlier, asked to use this but was told it had gone, asked the club to consider sponsorship for the CoE to at least cover the worst affected and was told any sponsorship raised would go to the 1st team. We abandoned those who couldn’t pay - that’s not a community club and not the Trust I had envisaged. Heartless and discriminatory. One of those kids made his 1st team debut for Shrewsbury recently.

BV - as I remember parents always had to pay a contribution for kit £150 I think. When was the cost ramped up? Early WST time? Was it the WST or Club Noard making the decision? Sounds ridiculous

Wouldn't it be brilliant to see R&R revive the CofE

To see the best players from North Wales represent this club rather than be poached over the border

To see kids walking around Wrexham in our shirts and be proud of it

This would be more satisfying than anything

Yes they used to get training kit x 2, jackets and a bag. 1st full season they took over they introduced charging - straight after the playoff defeat.

Then sold Brad for 80k, Dan Griffith’s for around 20k and every other saleable asset from the younger ages

It might still be 28 years and I just say 2 words to Arsenal fans. Thomas, Watkin.

BV- thanks for your response. I am sorry I should really have put it to you in a pm first. Just an idea, so when questions are asked they come across coordinated and not a mishmash of ideas. I understand and appreciate your feelings re the past, let's hope if/when this change goes through things in all departments change for the better.

I remember your walk, my son came part of the way with you, as still not recovered.
