To think a year ago a lot of fans were saying he wasn't good enough for League 1. He kicked on again last season though.

You should only to print it or take a photo of the card once. Most library's will help someone print something. Do you not know anyone, that can print something as a one off?? In today's society a lot of things are going digital only. I've bought tickets for a lot of events, that have been digital only. A lot of loyalty cards are going to digital only etc. Even taking the kids out for the day, you have to book in advance a lot of the time and show an email me. Fans moan that we don't get with the times. But when they do anything to move with the times, people moan then as well. Tesco, Morrisons etc all continue to give their customers the option of a physical membership card, I wonder why? Because if they don’t they will push customers away, we all know a fully digital world is coming but it needs to be done organically and with respect for those who will struggle with it. Any decent company would see that, it’s why cash is still accepted widely. We should empathise with those who have difficulty with these type of things, not brush them aside 👍🏾 I agree, but they also charge to have a physical card, even if they say they don't!! You get app exclusive offers, that you only get on your SMART device. I save more than £15 a year. So if I just used my physical card, I would be more than £15 a year worse off. Maybe we should have charged everyone £15 more and then gave everyone £15 credit to spend at the club, if they opted out of a physical card. You will never keep everyone happy though.

Hopefully the Conteh signing wasn't a one off and we won't be afraid to pay fees for young players with potential. If they are young, then the wage budget won't be too high. I know the initial out lay would be higher, but if we develop just a few of them and make a big profit it would hopefully be enough to cover the fees in the long run. We tried to break our transfer record on Ennis, if the rumors were true. Will we break it this summer, or just look at free players. Free players aren't necessary cheaper in the long run. The summer will tell us more about the new owners. First summer transfer window. No excuses of we will get better value in the next window! I agreed with what we were told in January, but will they back it up now! From my understanding, unless we receive a big offer for one of our players, there is unlikely to be big fees spent and we are working on a reduced budget. I was told we had to cut the budget in January and we have to cut it now. But we would pay transfer fees for the right players at the right price. I was told the Collins money, would be reinvested. That was a few months ago though.

I know you have fantastic knowledge of a not of players, but we can't sign them all. So if you had to pick one for each position, who would you pick??? Also if we were to break our transfer record on a player with potential, who we could make a profit on, but still afford their wages. Who would you pick?? Is Lawrence Vigouroux from Burnley realistic? I don't know, but if we were in for an experienced keeper he would be my choice. I'd be in for Rio Hillen a 22-year-old LCB earning about £1,300 in the Dutch 2nd tier and out-of-contract. If Notts County were able to sign Ruben Rodrigues from the 2nd tier over there when he was one of best players in league, then surey a possibility. And I would be in for Jordi Escobar a 6ft 2in 22-year-old out-of-contract CF. Zac Williams at Crewe is out-of-contract (according to transfermarkt), but would require compo due to age. Definite sell-on potential. Tom King at Cheltenham big potential and I like the potential of Sonny Cox at Exeter. Edit: But definitely sign Oyirwoth if possible. 🙂 Hopefully the Conteh signing wasn't a one off and we won't be afraid to pay fees for young players with potential.

Do you get any acknowledgement back so you know they have seen it? Hope they follow up on some of your tips! I passed the Oyirwoth tip off to Wael via a third party and Wael queried Visa issues etc, so I replied via the third party he qualifies (or will do imminently) through the Elite Significant Contribution rule introduced last summer, due to Oyirwoth's youth and full international (full debut at 17) appearances for Uganda. So there is acknowledgement, and when I tipped the club off previously about Richard Kone they him watched apparently and liked him, but at the time there were visa issues and it was also thought not worth pursuing without a development squad at the time. I know you have fantastic knowledge of a not of players, but we can't sign them all. So if you had to pick one for each position, who would you pick???

If you have access to emails then you can just print off the QR code when it's received and use that, you don't need a physical card I don't have a printer and wouldn't know how to use one if I did. You should only to print it or take a photo of the card once. Most library's will help someone print something. Do you not know anyone, that can print something as a one off??

Not as many as used to, but I don't know many people who don't have access to a smartphone. My dad doesn't know how to use it😂. But if he needs anything, we will do it for him.

Mine does too: Fees Name: Digital Only Season Card Amount: £.00 Name: Season Ticket Processing Fee Amount: £3.50 I wasn't told by email that my new card would be sent to me. I was told in person at the club ticket office/shop at the time that I renewed it. I am not disabled, but I am not able to adhere to their rule of uploading/downloading/ printing. They tried this sh it last season. I told them I wasnt prepared to do it, and missed the first couple of matches until my plastic card was delivered. I am not going to do it again How do you access the forum??

That link doesn't work but I can't see it can be recent data when of the outfield players only Hoole is ex Academy and there's no guarantee he'll even be here next season. If clubs have less than one player you do wonder why any bother with Academy's Ward has to be included as well now?? 2 still isn't a lot though. 3 if you include Sinclair 😂. If they did include Sinclair, that might be why we are mid table.

I think the academy has been neglected over the last few years. I can recall a few of our promising youngsters being taken by other clubs. So we were left with ones less likely to make it. Maybe, we thought what is the point. Plus C**y have brought through more youngsters and are streets ahead of us. So unless a player is a big gashead, who are they going to pick??
One of the reasons why training facilities are just as important as a stadium, if not more important. Hopefully we can improve in this area and bring through some good youngsters.

I enjoyed watching the program and I'm happy for the loyal fans. The real test will be when they don't have success or anything new for a season or two. Will they get bored?? Will people get bored if watching the show, if it's similar every season etc. So far they have loaned money to the club, or secured finance for projects. Next season will be a big sign of what is to come. Will they up their investment?? I think it was the Peterborough chairman who said they were all talk when it came to JCH. They said they were interested, but when he said they would sell him, they went quite. I suppose that's better than pulling out at the last minute though 😂 He wanted 5 figures a week to drop into league 2. They were right to go quiet. He made it sound like they didn't even make a bid. That they were all talk. That might have been after speaking to him without their permission though.

Fair play to them. Took over a historic club on its knees struggling in non-league and took them all the way to League One, increasing attendances from 4,000+ to 10,000+ along the way. The local area looks like its buzzing. I enjoyed watching the program and I'm happy for the loyal fans. The real test will be when they don't have success or anything new for a season or two.

That's not what they said before. It was because the funding wasn't released and they said they wouldn't pay for it themselves. They had planning ages ago. If it was Rovers everyone would be moaning. They were the only club that messed up on deadline day apart from us as well. Got the paperwork in a few minutes late and couldn't sign the striker they wanted. It's okay, as it's a Netflix story though. Assuming the date is correct on this news article Wrexham still seem to be seeking pp? www.pitchcare.com/blogs/news/wrexham-reveals-designs-for-new-kop-standWrexham might have messed up on transfer deadline day they still finished in the top 3. Whilst rumours circulate fans not be able to attend our own summer tour, Wrexham are selling tickets for their US tour: www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/wrex-coast-tour-2024/ Permission was granted for a new permanent Kop stand containing 5,500 seats in November 2022, with work originally expected to start last summer. However, due to funding delays and site issues, the Hollywood owners decided to install a temporary stand to meet the clamour for tickets in the short-term. They might have to adjust it to get the funding. The funding was agreed with the government, but they had to do certain things before it is released.

As well as having problems getting the funding finalized they also loan the money they put in to buy things. I know we do the same, as so most clubs. But they said they don't have the £20 million for the stand and had to rely on funding. Luckily the government are funding £20 million of it. But they have to meet some conditions before they release it.
This is what it says about the loans to buy the ground. Funding problems and delays can be found on loads of sites.
Reynolds and McElhenney originally set up a company called R.R. McReynolds LLC to buy the club for £2m in 2021.
Wrexham AFC said within the year to June 2022, the firm gave a loan of £3.67m to the club, which included the funds to buy the freehold of the Racecourse ground as well as £1.2m of investment in the form of shares.
The directors said there was "no immediate pressure" to repay the loans that funded the ground and stadium improvements and want the club to become self-sufficient.
They added: "We remain committed to playing a full part in the life of the club and making a positive difference, in every way, for the benefit of everyone.

They said they wouldn't pay for the new stand and it's been delayed because the government have not paid for it yet. The government are funding it. Are the government going to pay for a 55,000 all seater?? The comments by the owner in the article seems to imply it's planning etc holding up the ground development not financing it. That's not what they said before. It was because the funding wasn't released and they said they wouldn't pay for it themselves. They had planning ages ago. If it was Rovers everyone would be moaning. They were the only club that messed up on deadline day apart from us as well. Got the paperwork in a few minutes late and couldn't sign the striker they wanted.

Published 7 hours ago Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney say their long-term ambition is to increase the club’s stadium capacity to as much as 55,000. A new 5,500 all-seater stand is already planned at the Racecourse Ground as a replacement for the Kop end, which has been unused since 2007. I would be happy with 25,000 UTG They said they wouldn't pay for the new stand and it's been delayed because the government have not paid for it yet. The government are funding it. Are the government going to pay for a 55,000 all seater??

why have we triggered Jerry Lawrences' contract? - not sure hes done much more than Jones and Greenslade He's 19 and the other two are 20 and 21. If he's in the same position next season, he will probably be released.

Would guess/hope Hoole, Sinclair, Martin (although would just be triggering extension?) and maybe Greenslade? Either Greenslade or a legally binding 6 month for Grant ? Rossitier??? Some form of contract. Even if we have offered reduced terms with bonuses if he plays etc

List out soon. 4 offered deals the rest are goners. Would guess/hope Hoole, Sinclair, Martin (although would just be triggering extension?) and maybe Greenslade? Someone said Greenslade was being released. They might have been wrong though.

Any contracted players told to look elsewhere? Not as far as I am aware. Which 4?? Do you know if we working on extending any deals. Evans or anyone else that is out of contract over the next year or more.
