I'm aware that Dale Vince owns both Ecotricity and FGR. My point was that currently (presumably) the ground is owned by the same subsidiary as the football club. I would hazard a guess that the new ground won't be, as it's part of a much larger development. It's always dangerous when the...

Just seems like a colossal waste of money and a vanity project to me, if you'll simply end up with another small stadium, no matter how nice it looks. I wonder who'll own the new ground - FGR or Ecotricity? Who owns the old ground and who'll benefit from it's sale for housing? You don't want to...

Is it true that the stadium will only hold 5,000? If so what is the point of building it, and in what way is building all that stuff on acres of existing green fields, using all those materials and all that energy, eco-friendly?

Maybe I'm missing something, but as a supporter I can't really see what there is to celebrate about having an owner willing to massively indebt your club in order to try and gain promotion to league 2. It ultimately means nothing, and winning promotion based simply on being able to outspend...

We (Wrexham) have sold 1,700 so far. Our early bird finishes on Friday and I'm hoping we get to our target of 2,100 by then.

Turned down a contract at Accrington apparently to sign - good news. If he stays fit a good replacement for Heslop.

Anthony Barry now confirmed for Wrexham

Pleased with the Tilt signing. John Rooney has just been confirmed by the club too on a 1-year deal.

The club wanted to buy the ground but the university were not willing to sell at this time unfortunately, despite it being raised with them on a number of occasions apparently. Hopefully they will be at some point in the future though - if and when we get back in the league we'd probably be in a...

That's purely the lease. We then have to pay rates, insurance, staff costs, maintenance and everything else on top so it will work out costing us a lot more than £100k a year. The plan is to turn it into a venue which is used every day of the year for events, conferences, weddings, concerts...

Yes, it'll essentially be our ground for the next 99 years to do with what we wish - including hopefully redevelopment of the Kop. We wanted to buy the freehold but the University are not willing to sell it, so the 99 year lease was the best option. The value of the 99 year lease is £1.3...

I realise that FL academies get central funding but I'm sure I have read that Crewe's costs them £1m a season even after funding. To make that work they really need to sell a player for big money every one or two seasons and that seems to be happening less and less. They also need to have a...

If I was a conference club chairman looking for a new manager my first call would be to my opposite number at Braintree to seek permission to speak to theirs.

I just wonder whether, sadly, the model of lower league clubs producing players specifically to sell on works in modern football. I presume an academy like Crewe's costs £1m+ a year to run and so you need to sell players to that value each year to make it viable. Premier League clubs mostly buy...

Call me Mr Cocky from Cocky Street in Cockytown but I reckon we will see league football at The Racecourse again in the next 99 years. What's gone wrong at Crewe? You seem to be in free fall. I wouldn't be surprised to see you battling relegation in league 2 again next season and maybe doing a...

They didn't look that good against us on Monday - or maybe we just made them look mediocre ;-) In all seriousness I haven't been massively impressed by Cheltenham. Considering the budget they clearly have with parachute payments I don't think they are outstanding. It's true that they are a very...

We're not playing the Barcelona-esque style Mills favoured earlier in the season - that only worked when the pitches were in good shape. We're now paying what might be called a more "pragmatic" style. Not as pretty but much more effective. With the form we're I think we'll draw or win. I'd...

3 up 3 down would be a progressive step forward. At the moment there is a bottleneck in the conference. My club, Wrexham, are averaging gates of almost 5,000 (despite a slightly disappointing season), are well run, debt free, profitable, and I think would be a positive addition to league 2 - as...

If we miss out on the play-offs we should definitely keep Mills and the majority of the squad. His original plan of being the Barcelona of non-league fell apart on heavy winter pitches. However he hasn't been dogmatic and has instead changed personnel and fundamentally changed our style of play...

I personally think Wrexham have a realistic chance of making the play-offs. We have to play the teams above us so can take points from them, and our recent form has been outstanding.
