January Transfers & Rumours

[OP67]

My understanding is we were turned down for Government monies ie so called levelling up scheme.
The money for the stand I believe is coming from a number of sources RR/RM , Wrexham FC ,Private monies,Wales Transport and Council .
I honestly don't know the break down of the figures( and I suspect they won't be placed in the public domain).
The overall initiative is labelled Gateway to Wrexham and has total budget of £25 million of which the stand is about £10million.
As well as the stand being built there is plans for new roads and junctions to be built at the back of the stand .A new railway station at the back of the stand plus a new overhead walk way from the station to the ground.
There will also be a mega store built behind the stand and I think the dressing rooms and offices will be based in the stand..
There was also talk of a hotel being built but this has not been confirmed

RR/RM aren't putting any personal funds into the new stand, why should they? It'll come out of Wrexham's coffers and so it should. What is the delay now? I hear they'll not start until much later in the year possibly, if at all.

Not sure where you "hearing" all this misinformation?
There were issues with the lease which has now been transferred to Wrexham fc from WST.
Some minor issues with some old water pipes and an electrical sub station ( work is being done on this as we speak)
As you aware we have built a temporary stand which holds 2200 because of the demand for tickets.
A 3 month turn around is needed before building can start on the new stand so with a bit of luck if at the end of April we are going up expect the diggers during the Summer so stand will be ready for following season.

Our revenue for this season is projected to be £20 million.This will include our sponsor deals attendances,cup run,record sales of shirts(over 35000) USA pre season tour (which made £8million) and our award winning docuseries ( 3rd series just been announced).
There is every indication that the series will continue next season.
We are in a very fortunate position financially and the aim is for the club to be sustainable.
We have an excellent manager with a very good team and are in a prime position for another promotion this season.
Good luck for the rest of the season see you all that the Racecourse in a few weeks

I’m convinced Wrexham employ a small army of researchers scouring the internet for any mention of their club and immediately correcting any ‘misinformation’ that might get out

‘IN ACTUAL FACT WE’RE BLOODY LOADED BOYO, THE TV DOCUTHINGY MAKES MILLIONS AND WE ALSO SELL LORRY LOADS OF SHIRTS IN ALAMBAMA AND WISCONSIN!!’

What makes me laugh is the documentary company actually went bust so where is this money coming from and how come their liabilities are climbing up and up whilst charging interest?

You've got a head full of magic.

He certainly has, I look forward to reading Wrexhams next accounts as they seem to ours. The mega store is a new one, they think they're Man City shifting 1.3 million shirts instead of 24k.

I wonder just how mega the mega store will be.

Perhaps they should build an international airport terminal in the new stand as well, as well as a port and an entire canal system linking Wrexham to the sea. If you build it, they will come.
