  • Sure but it's often easier for local gov to invest in a private initiative rather than spool something up themselves and maintain it longterm (which would cost a lot more than £25m).

    Let's say Wrexham can make it to the Championship and stay there, match day revenue for businesses in the area would be sustained over a long period of time that would far exceed this amount of money.

    Obviously I'm in no way qualified to say whether or not there are better things going on in the same council district to invest that money in or even know if they already are investing the right amount in those but I am saying that outright derision of this because it's a football club or because of their ownership is short sighted.

  • I get what your saying, but it is a privately owned club, by people who have a lot of money, and will reap the financial benefits.

    Not sure exactly what the tax payers who live in, say, Cardigan are supposed to get from this?

  • When you say financial benefits, at this level, wrexham is a loss making club. To the tune of £3m last year I believe.
