It needs the correct people steering it, not Pete Jones accepting a back garden from Wrexham Council without looking at alternatives or considering the future!

We haven't used 9 Acres in weeks. We're currently using the Racecourse pitch and the occasional use of Colliers. As we only train (not including gym work, recovery sessions etc.) for 2 hours, 3 days a week, surely its not out of reach to come to an agreement with the FAW about Colliers.

Whatever happens, next season we definitely won't be training at 9 Acre or The Groves.

Provided the takeover happens and R&R are true to their word they will ensure our training facilities are fit for purpose, whether that be Colliers or elsewhere.

People like the FAW and WAG will be far more likely to have respect if R&R approach them.

All rumours on take over seem to be hinting at 14 January (hopefully they mean 2021!!!),

We just need to try to keep together and hang on in there until takeover now.

Training ground would cost more than 2 million surely ?

I reckon playing behind closed doors will cost the club 500k to 750k unless more comes from the 11 million rescue fund announced in November.

Just how much have Ryan and Rob actually commited to give the club ?

Nobody knows yet, it was initially 2million, do you know? Would you prefer to get the begging bowls out for another eight years? Watching pub standard displays every week? Training on a park field? Ruining the youth set up due to lack of money etc?

Hammer the new owners before they've even taken over all you like, but when you consider what we had, it's safe to say it cannot get any worse. We're a shell of a club, a football club where the football was forgotten about. It's over pal, let go and set upmyour Darby and Joan club elsewhere.

...but for your mates we could have had a good one for £250k

A good question. The simple answer is I don't know but what can you and others of a similar outlook do or offer that is better than what is on the table?

If it involves continuance of so called fan ownership then it will not get my vote.

Things are miserable enough without looking for negativity at all turns.

If you actually know something of importance that the rest us do not know then share it, otherwise please try and be positive.

It is right to have concerns, many of us do as well, but unless you have viable and fairly immediate alternatives that will carry majority popular support it just pointless for anyone to carry on sniping at RR at this stage rather than hoping for the best outcome with them.

In short put up or shut up.

Been training at Cefn Druids too, rumour that it was offered to the club for training but declined. Although Druids aren't in the best financial shape, so wise to turn it down if that's the case.

You're right, it probably would cost more than 2 million. Capital investments such as these things aren't paid for in an up-front lump sum though. The investment will likely be split over many years. Given how much we've wasted in previous seasons I would've thought that with an immediate £2m plus income generated through the documentary etc., this is not outside of our means.
