Wrexham: From Pillar To Post
Not long after Chester suffered their fate, fierce local rivals Wrexham found themselves the subject of the interest of a broad and diverse cast of curious characters. The club had several close shaves with closure before endinf up where it should have been all along, under the ownership of the supporters themselves.
Wrexham & Newport County: Salutary Tales Of Struggle & Redemption
Both of this year’s Blue Square Bet Premier play-off final competitors, Newport County and Wrexham, provide proof that no matter how bad things might get for a football club, the possibility of turning things around is always there.
Wrexham’s Cup Win Sets Up Another Fans United Day
Twenty years ago in January, Wrexham AFC managed one of the great FA Cup surprises of all time. They had finished the previous season at the bottom of the Football League and had only been spared relegation to the Football Conference on account of the League expanding...
Wrexham FC: The Future Starts Now
Celebrations, due to the sad and untimely death of the manager of the national team at the weekend, were perhaps more muted at The Racecourse Ground this evening than they might otherwise have been. There should, however, be a pause this evening for Wrexham supporters...
The Wrexham Take-Over Hits The Buffers Again
With a team that is top of the table, a new manager that has just won the Manager Of The Month award for his division and a winnable FA Cup tie coming up in a couple of weeks, these should be happy times for the supporters of Wrexham Football Club. As regular readers...
A New Beginning – At Last – For Wrexham Football Club
Patience brings its own rewards, and the press release issued this afternoon confirming that agreement has now been reached to ensure the take-over of Wrexham Football Club by the Wrexham Supporters Trust is certainly news that has been worth waiting for. Over the...
Skeletons In The Closet & Brinkmanship At Wrexham
At least, some may choose to reflect, the team is still winning. Wrexham went to Grimsby Town yesterday and came returned with a comfortable 3-1, which left them at the top of the Blue Square Premier on goal difference from second placed Gateshead with a quarter of...
Just Another Ordinary Week In Wrexham
As ever, it was down to the supporters of the club to get to what looks like somewhere near the bottom of what has been going on. It was probably too much to hope that, after a unanimous vote at their SGM last week, the Wrexham Supporters Trust would merely be allowed...
On The Subject Of Deadlines… A Big Week For Wrexham & Plymouth Argyle
Two clubs are facing deadlines in the near future after months of insecurity, but while Wrexham now seem likely to be headed towards a brighter future, Plymouth Argyle supporters are probably at the point now of not believing anyone until the take-over of their club...
Wrexham’s Extraordinary Day
It certainly went to the wire, of that much we can be certain. In fact, it could even be said that it went into extra-time. Eventually, however, the immediate future of Wrexham Football Club was secured by the only people in this particular story that have given every...
Is Wrexham FC Hanging By A Thread?
It has been a busy couple of days for sport in Wrexham, but there is very little positivity that we can take from the last forty-eight hours or so. More or less exactly as we were posting our last update, regarding the decision of the Wrexham owner Geoff Moss not to...
Following The Fortunes Of Wrexham
We have been paying close attention to the goings-on at Wrexham Football Club over the last few months, and have decided to bring together all of the articles on the subject for quick and - hopefully - easy reference. Mistrust had been building between the supporters...
Poole Out? Maybe, Maybe Not, But The Fight For Wrexham Continues
It has been another strange, confusing week at Wrexham Football Club. The last time we reported on what has been going on there, it seemed as if a deal had been done and that the Wrexham Supporters Trust were at the point of losing out in their bid to take over the...
Wrexham FC: Sold Down The River?
That it wasn't a great surprise doesn't mean that it wasn't a disappointment. Geoff Moss, the owner of Wrexham FC, had the chance to do the right thing just the once before handing over ownership of the club to someone else, and he couldn't even manage to do that in...
Booth Is Out, But Other Dangers Lurk At Wrexham
In the end, she couldn't leave without one final sideswipe. Stephanie Booth, whose attempts to take control of Wrexham Football Club - or, perhaps, just The Racecourse Ground - have been characterised by what has occasionally looked at times like a pathological...
D-Day For Wrexham Passes, But There Are Further Battles Ahead
Close of business today, we had been told, was the deadline, and the sanction if this wasn't met was common knowledge. Wrexham FC was to be barred from entering this year's Blue Square Premier play-offs with one of Kidderminster Harriers, York City or Darlington...
Custodians, Fans And Ownership: From Arsenal To Wrexham
The Arsenal take-over looks like being a long way from the toxic take-overs of The Glazers and Gillett & Hicks. But, as SJ Maskell writes, custodianship is about doing more than saying and doing the right things and the real power in the game lies in the majority...
Fiddling As Wrexham Burns
The news that Wrexham Football Club has been served with a Winding Up Order by HMRC came as little surprise to anybody that has been paying much attention to what has been going on at the club over the last few months or so. Indeed, this relatively new aspect to a...
Further Farce At Wrexham
All of quiet on the Western front at the moment. Since we last reported on the subject of Wrexham, things have been comparatively quiet. This, however, is "quiet" by the standards of Wrexham AFC, and this means that, by the standards of most over clubs, it has...
Wrexham FC: Familiar Faces And Even More Familiar Divisions
It was recently noted by some wise soul that if the recent tribulations of Wrexham FC were to be suggested as the plot for a soap opera, they would be rejected as being too far-fetched. Any lingering doubts that these particular truths are stranger than fiction have...
Wrexhams Ownership: Peering Through The Smoke And Mirrors
It has been another week of spin, mixed messages and division at Wrexham FC, but by the time of the kick-off in their match against Forest Green Rovers this afternoon their supporters may have a better idea of who the new owners of and investors their club are. It is...
Enter Stephanie Booth At Wrexham
The supporters of the club, as we mentioned on here last week, seem unlikely to be in favour of that and the one things that they need to be at present is unified. (12/01/2011) A constant theme of clubs where supporter protest has been successful in recent years has...
A Day Of Conflicting Rumours And Confusion At Wrexham
On a Saturday afternoon, it usually takes quite something to draw attention away from what has happened on the pitch. At Wrexham, however, the truth is proving to be stranger than fiction and so it was that on Saturday even a 7-2 home defeat at home...
Puppets On A String: The Wrexham Board Responds
It has been another eventful week at Wrexham, as the fog that had shrouded the attempt to take over the club by Van Morton Investments began to lift, while a bizarre and faintly ridiculous statement from Wrexham FC appeared on the club's website last Friday. Through...
Unregistered Company Withdraws From Buying Wrexham
Truth can be stranger than fiction, and the news today that Van Morton Investments Ltd have decided not to take up the chance to buy Wrexham Football Club may be, in football terms at least, the definitive proof of this. As regular readers of this site will remember,...
Wrexham’s Proposed New Owners Fail To Impress Their Audience
Going into tonights match aganst Altrincham, Wrexham FC had won five matches in a row in the league, lifting them to fourth place in the table and, while they may have left things a little too late to be able to launch a challenge for the title itself for this season,...
The Return Of Stephen Vaughan? Wrexham Beware.
He's back, and it's almost if he never went away. The return of Stephen Vaughan onto our radar would be funny, if it weren't for the fact that his involvement in anything to do with football (or, indeed, rugby league) wasn't such a portent of doom for those likely to...
Chester City: The Death Rattle – Part 11 – Now With Added Wrexham!
A situation that had long been beyond being a farce finally looks like entering its end game this evening after Chester City failed to fulfil their Blue Square Premier fixture against Forest Green Rovers.
Dealing With Troublesome Supporters 101: Wrexham
Wrexham supporters have had a difficult time of things over the last few years. In the mid-1990s, they seemed likely to to break into the top two divisions of English football. Everything, however, fell apart in the first few years of this century. A financial crisis...
