One of the clubs biggest unsung heroes.

To update a site every day with research from all over the place (with the help of Dana his wife) is an incredible service.  To do it for free is just ridiculous.

Now if we can talk him into doing the site update a little sooner, I can get to bed a bit earlier instead of pressing F5 over and over at 10:35  ;)

top work.

I've seen other clubs refer to our website as a 'labour of love'.

Thanks!

What on earth is he going to find to do in order to fill all his spare time then....?

There's only one John Laidlar.

Best wishes to him.

Myself and Jill were fortunate to sit behind John and Dana on the coach to Blyth (our first away excursion on the supporters coach for more years than I care to remember).

He was busy on the way home scribing his match report after a cold day on the NE coast watching Alty under perform in the Trophy..

It was nice to put a face on two names we had heard so much about

A lovely couple

We hope you have a long healthy retirement John... I expect Dana has loads of jobs lined up for you  ;)

Enjoy

Ray & Jill


PS its my last day today also.... Well until Monday  :D

Surely this should be one of our stock chants?

When I see my wrexham friends having to rely on the bbc website for info about their club or others in the league it makes me proud of what we have.
