    Hi from Wrexham Fans!

    We and &quot;fans united&quot; would love to have your help and support to protect our ground from any chance of future property development.

    <font size="4"><font color="#cc0000">www.redpassion.co.uk/</font><font color="#009900">petition</font></font>

    Not everyone knows Wrexham's Racecourse ground is ...

    &quot;The Oldest International Football Stadium In The World&quot;, still in use today. [Good one to remember for pub quiz night!]

    We need your valued support and help. The football club has been sold to a parent company, who are acting as property developer and developing the car park land, the club used to own as an asset. This by its nature needs to encroach close to the stadium with the result; the kop end terrace has had to be closed down, until the development has been completed. At that stage we understand the Kop end should be rebuilt.
    We have been assured a substantial percentage of the profits from the development will be paid back into Wrexham Football Club, rather than just retained by the property developer. We are hopeful on this, though aware the section 106 guarantee, we were promised would be submitted to planning, did not materialise and planning permission given irrespective. This has left some concerns and anxiety amongst some of the fans, as this now relies on trust.

    For the future and to protect the interests of the fans, and avoid any chance the Racecourse ground could ever be developed on, we are lobbying the Wrexham Borough Councillors to secure the Racecourse as an international football ground and Sports stadium, as a designated reserved matter within the Local Development Plan. LDP. It would then be protected from being sold for any future property development, such as supermarkets or residential flats and the like.

    To do this we have a mission to secure 10,500 names on the petition, the current reduced capacity of the Racecourse Ground. We will use this petition to lobby the Councillors at the LDP planning hearing in the autumn. The response has been fantastic and in just five weeks, we have secured 6,377 signatures from fans of more than 30 clubs across the UK and even as far as Grampus Eight in Tokyo!

    Barnsley have had some entertaining matches at the Racecourse ground over the years and the Support of <font size="2">Barnsley </font>fans would be magnificent for us.

    This petition has been created by <font color="#cc0000">Red Passion</font>, the website community of Wrexham fans who connect up around the world 24 hours a day.

    The petition is also in keeping with the policy of the Wrexham Supporters Trust to protect the Racecourse in the LDP.

    Thanks !
    </p>

    RE: Will the Declan Swanns....

    thanks matt

    we are looking at various marketing ideas for promotion of the campaign.

    starting with T-shirts and finishing with a fans party if we are successful. declan swans would be someone we would invited to perform at that
