How much do we think our courtyard brings in? 1,500 capacity and let’s assume a fairly low average spend of £10-15. Between £345-517k? In reality probably more than that as it’s always full of families. Pays for itself eventually without needing to charge extra on matchday tickets!? Crazy they’re doing that, but another example of them only doing things that can generate extra income rather than genuinely improving the matchday experience. Read that as 1,500 in the courtyard to begin with! Would be like sardines! The club did say 1,500 capacity in the courtyard! I had the same doubts as you so I’ll go with 1.5k in total throughout the course of a matchday for the purpose of the calculations!

Philcounty - you're a "regular" there. Are fans actually that bothered? Misguided comments but nothing terrible. Or has it descended into the usual women's football arguments? I can't be bothered reading 40 pages, just glanced at the thread as I was surprised it was so long.

I genuinely don't think we'd care if someone said that about Stockport, but I think some are very sensitive about how they are perceived by the Americans.

I tend to think not but have never really looked (though frequent beforehand). It might help if they did something post-match - player interview etc. I know the posh lounge get priority as they pay more but something should be done to encourage a post match tincture or two.

Never been to LA but if she thinks its nicer than wrexham then so what. There are better and worse places than wrexham so can see nothing wrong in anybody stating that somewhere is better or worse than the town they represent. Its knocking places just for fashion or to get more likes by doing so is what really gets me.

Another money grabber from wrexham. In that world are those membership worth £50 for an adult and £35 for a kid when your on the other side of the world. Hundreds if not thousands of Americans will buy it and most will not get tickets

Hundreds if not thousands of Americans will buy it and most will not get tickets If they can milk a bunch of Americans of their cash when they've got absolutely no chance of ever using their 'priority access' to tickets then more power to them. The 'priority access' thing to begin with is my main issue as it locks local fans out of the ground in favour of international fans, which is just terrible.

In furter Wrexham news, they are rumoured to be signing John McAtee who looked decent in the season we got promoted from the NL.
An ITKer has revealed the source as someone at Wrexham Chauffeurs who have the contract to transport players around. Could be some awkward conversations between the company and the club if it turns out to be true.

I genuinely don't think we'd care if someone said that about Stockport, but I think some are very sensitive about how they are perceived by the Americans. I'm not sure. If someone just said "such and such a place is nicer than Stockport", then fair enough. Every place I've ever been to abroad is nicer than Stockport. To say that nice things would get destroyed in Stockport is a bit different. It's poor from her, and paints her and the town in a bad light.

(can't look at work) Essentially what I'd put above. Talked about how nice LA was, said it was nicer than Wrexham. No problem so far. Then said there are lovely flowers and displays etc everywhere, and says you couldn't have that in Wrexham as it would get destroyed. What probably makes it worse from a Wrexham fan point of view is that she's not even from the town. It's not a huge crime obviously, but I do think it's poor. All she needs to do is apologise and they can hopefully draw a line under it.
