It was down to the Senedd via FAW to support Welsh Soccer.
You could say it's become a political football

If it was Chester FC she would jump at the chance, she is in that place that often I think she missed the turning for Wrexham what an absolute waste of space she is.

Don't get it.

Its like winning the euro millions jackpot but still seeing if there's any benefits you can claim.
Surely if a grant rather than a loan was available we should be questioning why we were not eligible.

After all, we are a Welsh sports club which is what this money was meant to be helping.

But we don't need it.
Not sure if it would look good either when two multimillionaires buy the club, put an initial 2 million cash in, then ask the Welsh Government for a grant. Or am I missing something here?

They've already decided on that grant re:25 Jan 2020
Wrexham found out on the 29th - they weren't included in the national league loan system.

However, my view was Sarah Atherton MP was talking about the 10 million extra that was announced for national league steps 3-6. That was announced on the 27th. In theory, re: Barnett formula - Sports Wales has an extra 500k now to play with.

Cut the senedd some slack for now. They wouldn't have received that extra cash yet.

No you are not. Having said that many clubs in our league are privately funded which is why ,for me , it should simply be an available loan which naturally we would not bother with.

Premier League clubs have furloughed staff, so everything's up for grabs

This is how most millionaires make their millions; by exploiting every opportunity and not giving a monkeys

So you're happy with the £13.5 million of our money that the WRU get as opposed to the £1.5 million for soccer? There are more registared soccer than rugby players in Wales. The WRU had a turnover of £90 mllion in 2019!

deflective technique to ignore that money could still be available.

but...
I'm don't have the agenda of Westminster taking back control of Wales by divide and conquer.

Welsh football turnover was £250 million plus, but the majority of that is the teams whilst wru is a centralised system.

the fact remains the decision on Welsh sports grants was before the club board knew that they weren't going to get cash from national league. they can't go back as people have planned, but there is still cash available and the chap in charge has given cash to Wrexham e.g. focus wales, the new museum and ty pawb.

so put your agendas back in the box for a week to wait and see what occurs.
