Fans save Wrexham

In an amazing fund-raising effort, Wrexham fans up come up with £100,000 to enable their club to compete in the Blue Square Premiership in the coming season.    The Conference had demanded a £250,000 bond from the club and current owner Geoff Moss had come forward with £150,000.   By 10.30 this morning, with the deadline looming at 5 p.m., the fans had raised £40,000, but they managed to find another £60,000 during the day.

Wrexham FC has been through some difficult years, but the fans have stood by them in all their difficulties.   There are still a few details to sort out, but they should all be completed within the next day or so.   The Conference had originally given a deadline of 5 p.m. on Monday, but had extended it by 24 hours.
