Pryce Griffiths sold Wrexham F.C down the river.
He had to bite his lip when Hamilton removed his two sons from the board of directors.
Hamilton spilled the beans in a letter to the Evening Leader saying Griffiths stood to receive £500k if the Racecourse got re-developed.
When questioned by a reporter about this, Griffiths’ only reply was: “This is confidential business”.So, Griffiths only received £50k for his 78% shareholding of the club, saw no £500k, had his sons removed from the board, and lost the respect of Wrexham football fans who knew what was going on at the club via the Net.
Still today, there are people who don’t understand what went on. The local papers were too scared of being sued to print the goings-on.Wrexham F.C have not replaced the better players which have left the club over the last two seasons.
Prior to the two Wembley trips, the Trust had a 5-year plan to tackle debt. That plan was thrown out of the window and the Wembley cash was used to clear the debt.
The club also has a history of signing players nearing the end of their careers. These players are also suspect to injury. Andy Bishop, Bret Ormerod…
It is no fluke that we are languishing near the foot of the table. We’re simply not good enough.The Travellers have been on Alyn Waters for a week now. What is the hold up evicting them?
Children’s football matches have had to be cancelled because of them.

Out of interest…
Has anyone found out if the police are logging the complaints and the crimes e.g. the daily mail-s alleged criminal damage.
Wayne, are you mistaking the damage allegedly done to a section of Offa’s Dyke by travellers at Pontcysyllte
Offa’s Dyke: ‘Travellers’ flatten 50 yards of 8th century monument with a bulldozer | Mail Online
with the encampment by Travellers at the Alyn Waters Country Park nestled between, Llay/Gwersyllt etc?
The Leader ran a story on the Offa’s Dyke demolition, as did the Daily Post. All articles are the same, although the Leaders’ is unavailable online for some unknown reason.

Unfortunately, it might take longer to remove The Travellers from Alyn Waters than Joe Public might expect.
I’ve had to copy & paste the answers to ensure accuracy:-First of all…
The Council must..
Show that the Gypsies/Travellers are on the land without consent
Make enquiries regarding the general health and welfare of the group and children’s education
Ensure that the Human Rights Act 1998 has been fully complied with
Follow a set procedure which involves proving ownership of the land, giving details of the illegal encampment, serving notices and summonses in order to successfully obtain a court order to evict the travellers from the site
Encampments on council land have to be dealt with as a civil matter. The police will only take action if serious criminal activity, public disorder or disruption to the local community takes place.Q. How long will it take for the Travellers to be removed?
This will depend on the circumstances of each individual case. The council needs to take account of the above issues as well as how soon they can obtain a County Court hearing date.
When can the Council move them on?
If gypsies/travellers are camped on council land, the Council can recover possession of their land by using a County Court Order, if their land is occupied without their consent.
If the gypsies/travellers are on Wrexham Borough Council land and are causing problems they will be moved on as soon as is possible and reasonable. The Council will consider each case on its merits. In all cases the site is visited and every effort made to make sure that the gypsies/travellers keep the site tidy and do not cause public health problems.It is a minefield. The travellers have their own specialised solicitors at hand on the end of a mobile phone….
A few people might be familiar with the mess and clean-up operation required after the Maesgwyn Fields in Wrexham were invaded 2-years ago. Early indications, based on peoples’ tweets on Wrexham.com, suggest that a similar clean-up operation will be required at Alyn Waters. After all, no traveller uses the bathroom in his trailer as a bathroom. It is used as storage and they consider using the toilet as ‘un-healthy’ in their trailer.
This will cost the taxpayer a lot of money for the clean-up.The Council will have to protect their land with better security measures (bollards etc) in future
So begins the long-winded court action against the Travellers at Alyn Waters Country Park :mad:
Perhaps they’ve ‘travelled’ in the last few hours Rob? Before the festival a group of them were on the Industrial Estate. Their kids throwing stones at passing vehicles.
Can’t the Council not also sort out the historical problems of flash-flooding on the left lane of the Plas Coch roundabout or Stansty bridge every time we have heavy rain?
What are the taxpayers getting for their money?
If it’s a problem with drainage, then get in specialists for the job?The Council wants us to become a City – and pay higher rates.. Let’s see them deal with town problems first.

For anyone who is interested you can pay yourself for Driving and Riding test with the IAM
I did both Driving and Riding tests a few years ago now and I am still a member of the IAM, it is very useful, however it is still helpful if overgrown roundabouts are maintained allowing you a clearer view of the junctions…..
that’s all very nice & good. Well done.
But we’re talking about basics here. Other posters have pointed out that the bushes on the said roundabout turn it into a ‘blind spot’.
Also, there are no visible lane markings on the road in question.
You can be an ‘advanced driver’, James Bonds’ stunt replacement, whatever, but the facts remain the same.No road markings
Bushes on roundabout present a blind spot & driving hazard.@Darlofan 8586 wrote:
Have to agree with BenjaminM here. Its more to do with reading the road than the shrubbery. I’ve not noticed any issues during regular use of these roundabouts apart from others being in the wrong lanes and not reading signs. Most of the problem is caused as stated by others by other motorists driving at speed into roundabouts.
BTW all this I’ve been driving donkeys years without a bump is nonsense.My mum has been on the road 50years and nobody would wish to sit as a passenger in her car; she causes mayhem all around her!!”
‘Reading the road’?
You are having a laugh aren’t you? How TF do you read the road when you’re in the correct lane and a vehicle on your left-hand side is weaving all over the place when there’s no road markings on one of the busiest roundabouts in the county?
There are no road markings on the Sainsbury’s petrol roundabout.
How and why do I have to ‘read the road’ if I’m indicating right, I’m in the right hand lane, and very aware that people in the left-hand lane are suspect to encroaching into my lane?If you are doing everything correctly, why do you have to put up with bad drivers who don’t help matters by dangerously ‘crossing paths’ with you on a busy road with no visible markings on a busy piece of road?
Rob (admin), ask Wrexham Council why there’s no road markings on one of the towns’ busiest roundabouts please. And also ask ’em to cut down their Magic Roundabout which is an obvious driving hazard.
