I beg to differ the ground for most of its history was owned by border breweries.

Let’s get the bulldozer’s in to get rid of the eyesore that is the old kop ASAP! It’s a constant reminder that we once had a lovely four sided ground but it’s now fallen apart just like our league status, it does nothing to promote the club, in fact it detracts from it. Open up the area and it’s more likely that something will be done to build on it, leaving it as it stands promotes malaise.

It states in the article the capacity is now 8900.We need to increase that if we intend to progress up the leagues

How much is a temporary stand? Might make sense for short term. I can see a likelihood of us operating at say 30% capacity for the start of next season so would want as many seats as possible

Because we have a 100 year lease. Those £250,00 renovations will expire long before the lease!

Capacity when we seated the paddocks was stated as 10,770 all seated.

What happened to the nigh on 1,800 seats we've "lost" ?

You don't see other grounds losing almost 20% of their capacity like that. The seats are still there

Can you imagine the uproar at Old Trafford if they "lost" 15,000 seats (around 20% capacity) ?

Can someone explain if possible what's happened

Already on the case!

£250k to last 10 years - he has a lot to learn!

Blackpool had one for several years.

Unsure when the Wrexham Gateway Project will start, but once COVID rules are finally eased would be a good time for the Senedd to prime the local economy.

Plus their are local elections in Wales in May. Good time for a spot of bribery and corruption from our politicos!
