Pre-planning meeting held, working on HOTs with WCBC as we speak. Due to complexity this is a minimum 18 months away but is heading firmly in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) To bridge training ground gap a 2 year lease has been negotiated and signed on 13th January 2020 for us to continue to have Nine Acre as a base in the interim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kop:<br>Last July I and members of WAG, WCBC and Glyndwr launched vision for Western Gateway development of the Kop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) In the recently published &#8216;Football at the Heart of Wrexham&#8217; document, the council make clear the vision we&#8217;ve discussed of a 5,000 seater new Kop, development of facilities that will provide economic impact to North Wales, along with a four star hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) Progress on the Kop is being made, and I won&#8217;t say \/ tweet anything that could jeopardise that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my firm belief that everyone sees the benefit of that happening since I and fellow Board members presented to ministers in Cardiff Bay in 2017. I cannot promise but fingers crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) Hopefully, members will appreciate this update but I would encourage anyone to see me on a match day or attend the next Trust Members meeting for a more detailed update.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wrexham AFC Director, Spencer Harris, recently posted a quick Facilities update on Twitter.
