« on: August 08, 2011, 04:48:27 PM »

intense speculation that wrexham will lose their conference place in the next 24 hours.
conference chairmen are very keen to have 24 clubs, not 23.

I don't see how it would be possible to change things at this late stage, nor would I want to be the team that replaced Wrexham if it did happen (which it won't).

My thoughts are on Harrogate Town this coming Saturday, the journey starts there.

Come on Alty!!!!

I'd actually like to see them chucked out, sorry but the more examples made the better. Then one day we might be able to get back in to the BSP and fight on a more even keel.

There will always be bigger clubs, with bigger pull but at the moment it's a bit of a joke.

wrexham supporters trust say they have come in with an offer and they are waiting to see if conference will accept it.
i think theres been some kind of vote this afternoon. not sure it will go their way. then they would have to decide on 23 or 23.

Absolutely no chance after the AGM.

If we got reprieved (I can't even believe we're even having this discussion) that would mean BSN would be one team short. Therefore, whatever happens there is going to be a league running a team short, so why not just leave things as they are?

I just don't see how it's viable at such incredibly short notice.

Spot on.
The league would play with 23 teams, end of.
Lets just think about getting back up the proper way.

It would make Lee Sinnott the most successful manager in history.
Promotion before the season has even started!!

Latest statement this evening seems to indicate everything is likely to be sorted within the next 24 hours:

Good luck to them, only time will tell if they can turn things round properly. I didn't want to be "promoted" in this way and am looking forward to what should be a great season for us.

In essence, all that is happening now is pointless and they'll eventually fall (if the conference were really worried about them finishing the season they should've been chucked at the AGM as it wasn't going to improve). The reason for this is that the horse has already bolted, this is just the end game of the shameless asset stripping set in place by the bloke from Hale and continued unabated over recent years, ground seperated from club, debts run up, ground sold, criminals get rich, Wrexham supporters left with the mess.

As with R&D the action needs to be taken while the cowboys are still at the ranch.

Couldn't agree more with what Ballers is posting.
Sometimes I'm glad we dont own the ground,so are unlikely to get into those problems
