bloody hell! we don't get that in the home end! maybe if i asked the stewards on saturday Evening Post tonight has finally made a mention of what is happening with Wrexham. Cannot believe that it has taken this long for them to catch onto things!! Its a start, eventually!
I also sent Richie's long message to my father who posted on the Saints Forever site (I am the good sheep in the family, the rest are Saints fans!) and it has had some really good feedback. The moderator has even removed posts that are negative and out of order!! I am attaching the link, hope it works.

I love it when a plan comes together 
Everything is looking good so far.
Keep up the good work everyone.
I cannot believe that I have actually had a good idea for once. Surely 'red for wrexham' cancells out all my wank posts?

Here are some messages of support I have been emailed in the last week:
1. Good luck from cardiff city and welsh football
2.
Dear Wrexham fans I am very sorry to hear of your problems, although I am not welsh, I believe football supporters should stand in solidarity with each other. I am a Southampton and have been for 60yrs and would like to give the support of all the Saints fans on the official chat forum.
Although we have read articles on how the ground come to be sold to a business owned by the ex chairman, also how this chairman plans to either sell or build on it .
However, could you not stop this happening by having the stadium made a 'Listed' building and therefore, protected from demolition. The council, who I believe are with you in this matter maybe able to help you on this matter. It's just a thought.
Good Luck, Hope your team survives
3.I am a Derby County supporter living in Finland.
It will be very sad for a team with such tradition, passion and interest in real football to fold. I wish you all the best and shall be looking out for your score with interest on saturday
Can't be at a game, instead bearing the -5 degrees of Helsinki
GOOD LUCK and I wish you well

I thought I'd take this opportunity to offer my support to you all at Wrexham in your current situation.
Being a Bournemouth supporter I am well aware of the feeling that must be running through the supporters and everyone else associated with the club. I just wanted to wish you and your club all the best in your battle and I hope that you can make a similar success out of your position as we have of ours. Whilst we are not out of the woods and at current face the possible repossesion of our gorund the club has moved forward massively over the last 8/9 years.
Supporter groups can make a difference as we have shown and I am sure that with the support you have at the club and the support that I'm sure every true supporter in the country will show, you will make it through and come out the other side.
I'll be wearing red on Saturday (but then I would be) in support of your cause and hope you can find a quick resolution to your terrible position.
Whilst I appreciate that it's money you need more than anything I hope this e-mail can somehow help towards securing the future of your club.
Supporting you all the way,
Darren Budd
(A true supporter of football and what it stands for!)
Good Luck
5. I'm just writing with a message of support for your campaign.
Assuming no white knight appears over the horizon between now and tomorrow
(Wednesday) morning, there'll be a piece in my column in tomorrow's
Liverpool Echo urging Scousers to get themselves down to the Racecourse on
Saturday. I plan to do the same myself.
Good luck in trying to save your club - it sounds like you need it.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to get to your home game on Saturday, and my team (Cardiff City) is playing on the Friday, not Saturday. Many of us in South Wales will be thinking of you on Saturday however and praying the right thing is done and that for once capitalism does not win over tradition.
Yours

I have been a Cardiff City Supporter for nearly 30 years and am saddened by the plight of Wrexham Football Club.
Anything that I can do on Friday night I will do, particularly that our game is live on Sky. What can be done as yet I don't know but any action the club or supporters take will get my full support.
I hope that the Inland Revenue have second thoughts and suspend the dept for a while until things can be sorted out. It seems such a tiny amount of money when you think of the Millions that are spent on players transfer fees throughout a season.
I hope that things go well.

Although I am a Cardiff City supporter living in France, and therefore a long way from Wrexham in all senses, I will be wearing some red, in support, on Saturday.
Good Luck
9. Good luck with your campaign to save Wrexham. I am a Burnley fan and will be going to the Brighton game with a few friends on Saturday. We will all wear something red to support your cause (I suppose you would rather the red was not our England shirts!). I attended the fans united day at Brighton a few years ago and it was great to see football supporters from all clubs fighting for one cause together. Sadly Brighton is still a club without a proper home, but at least it's still around! Up the clarets, Gary Crossley.

Hope you come out of this with your club still in business. Just stuck your press release on our website - www.millwall-mad.co.uk

Dear Wrexham Fans
We are Kings Field Casuals FC, a Sunday League club in the Southend area. Most of our players support Southend United or Canvey Island FC.
I understand that some of your supporters put on a five a side competition in order to raise money for your cause. If you do anything of this type in the future please contact usd and we will be happy to support it.
We wish you well with saving Wrexham. We will all support the wear red for Wrexham day on Saturday.
Good Luck

I will have thirty red armbands for those of you that will be in your Blue and White stripes. Hopefully with fans united on. If I can get them in time I'll take them up with me and give them to those that want them when we meet in the pub.

Story by Press Release 16 November 2004
Thousands of fans unite to save Wrexham FC
TENS of thousands of football fans are putting aside tribal differences on Saturday in a mass display of unity to save one of the football league's oldest clubs.
The Fans United day of action on Saturday 20 November will see peaceful demonstrations at every football ground in England and Wales as well as a huge gathering of fans from different clubs at Wrexham FC's Racecourse Ground.
On Wednesday 17 November Wrexham FC faces a winding-up petition in the High Court. The action is being brought by the Inland Revenue for £900,000 of unpaid tax.
On Wednesday Wrexham FC faces the prospect of being placed into administration and docked 10 points by the Football League or even forced into liquidation. If the latter occurs, Wrexham will be the first football league club to go out of existence since Aldershot FC in 1992.
Many fans believe the club's plight is due to its owner Alex Hamilton, who wants to sell the ground for over £6million to property developers.
In any case Wrexham FC is living on borrowed time after 132 years of league football.
Now supporters of Brighton and Hove Albion - who lost their own ground almost nine years ago - are leading a day of action to draw attention to Wrexham's plight.
Fans United: football fans are being invited to wear their club colours and attend Wrexham's home game against Bristol City on Saturday 20 November - kick-off 3pm. They are asked stand alongside Wrexham fans and watch what could be Wrexham's last ever league game.
Wear Red for Wrexham: those fans who cannot make the trip to the Racecourse are asked to wear something red - or even carry a piece of red card - to their own team's match on the same day. They are asked to stand for 15 seconds at the kick-off to their match to show solidarity with Wrexham FC.
A Fans United spokesman and life-long Brighton supporter Nic Outterside said: "It is 12 years since Aldershot FC went bust and in that time many other football clubs have gone to the brink. In many cases these crises have been due to mismanagement or sheer greed of club owners or chairmen.
"When we lost our own ground - sold by our chairman Bill Archer to build a retail park - we came within inches of going out of existence. Even now our club is homeless and survives on a season by season basis.
"The danger of Wrexham folding is real and it would create a domino effect which could see many more towns lose their football clubs forever.
"I urge every right thinking football fan to take part in next Saturday's day of action."
