I think the club would have been wise to provide more detail regarding the areas and equipment affected and the reasons why it’s led to a postponement. They've literally taken pictures of the damage and posted it on twitter. What else do you want?

Mixed responses on here to the postponement.
For what it's worth, it could well be a blessing in disguise.
Rather than throwing the team into a game tomorrow with no prior get together following Saturday's debacle, surely a couple of training sessions and "heart to hearts" can only be beneficial.
Let's hope that the Stadium is up and running, sooner rather than later, and we can get back on track.
What we need is a dose of Blyth Spirit !

It’s quite clear a lot if people aren’t quite understanding the full extent of the problem and that it’s more than just a few collapsed ceiling tiles. The Chronicle have shared more details, but my point was that if the club had expanded the details of the issue e.g. staging a game without electric or working equipment in the PA and control rooms means that the club are in breach of the safety certificate, then folk might be a bit more understanding to the situation.

1. It is the club's responsibility to repair damage under our lease. 2. We are fully insured for such damage. 3. We would not be able to house a football match with a control room not fully operational(cameras/recording facility/steward control). 4. It is a Police ruling that a fully operational PA system must be in existence within the ground and all internal public areas to cover all emergencies. Let's hope that our current PA equipment is beyond repair and can be replaced, as it is still working on valves. While we are insured, work will need doing immediately which means forking our the initial costs before we claim it all back? Either way it’s not ideal for the club.

Get your point mate, but to me it’s fairly obvious we are in breach of health and safety when the indoor ceiling tiles are collapsing into the offices and we can’t just cancel matches without a valid reason. If we could we’d have a dodgy electric box every time a key player got injured 😂

The garbage from opposition fans is embarrassing. It would have been mentioned by now but let’s count our lucky stars no one was in the ground when this happened.

Well we have clearly had a poor last four days or so as a club. Shame I was looking forward to it tomorrow. Let’s hope the damage can be sorted quite quickly and those that can fix it are able to start at the drop of a hat.

Some of the comments I've seen on social media and from fellow supporters via Whatsapp calling foul on this are beyond a disgrace. The club posts pictures of the damage. TheRe is water in the mains board due to the roof leak and resulting damage to the interior. It's not rocket science is it?

With all due respect, if Average Joe sees photos of rubble on the floor in an office, he isn't thinking "oh there must be water damage to the mains electrics, effecting the CCTV and everything in the safety office as well as the floodlights and the tea urns" - he'll think "get the Henry out and tidy it up, what's the problem?"
I agree with some above - a little more detail as to the reason behind the postponement would educate the masses. What may be obvious to you isn't obvious to everybody.

Irrespective of the damage for me its just another hammer blow for the club - it was critical to get back to business after the calamity of Saturday now it might not even be possible to play on Saturday either ,- that's 2 home games missed - as for infrastructure the million quid will be needed to just get us the ground back up to standard

Insurance for this kind of emergency does not work that way. It is applied in exactly the same way as a person's house burning down. 1. You notify insurance claims dept. 2. Insurance co. then sends in their assessor to evaluate total costings. This includes cost of damaged items together with labour required costs to fix all areas. Once agreed by insurance, then they will arrange with all parties to confirm start dates initially. 3. We should also be OK'd to commence with hired equipment in the interim at their expense, in order to ensure that health and safety requirements are met in time before our next game.

Good lord another topic, another day, another conspiracy theory, another day of silly season on deva chat. Surely if the roof has leaked and inner structure has given way as can clearly be seen its not rocket science to assume anything electrical from lights to equipment could be unsafe. Personally wouldn't touch a thing until deemed safe. These things happen.

Suits me perfectly. Can’t normally get to midweek games for family reasons but it’s not usually an issue during the school holidays. On this occasion however I’ve got to graft so a postponement is ideal.
Obviously I mean for me personally, not sure it really suits the club what with the likely increase in premiums & what have you.
At least our next game is against FCUM now whose form is poor, a better opportunity to make amends than against Kiddy probably.

Feel sorry for those behind the scenes at the club. They have tried hard to generate a feel good factor, and this has been the PR week from Hell. As has been said earlier, I'm beginning to think this club is cursed.

Something to bear in mind for those asking for “more information” is that the very situation (i.e. no electricity, phone line etc) must be making the dissemination of information a challenge.

A three sided goat? Is that a mythical creature? I think you lot have more things to worry about than a few tiles and a bit of damage at a rivals ground. Your ground is in danger of falling down and a report from 2 years ago says so. What is it £1.5m over the next 10 years needed to keep the ground from rusting away? Laugh all you want but your time will come when something happens and the H&S exec come down hard on you. www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/15953507.Wrexham_FC_director_reveals_10-year_maintenance_work_on_stadium/

Wouldn’t worry what a few Wrexham fans are spouting off on their Bright House mobile phones. I bet they’ve only got one hand free to type with after their greatest weekend since their fourth promotion in 154 years. Brighthouse mobile phones 😂

Ok Wxm have one very nice shiny new stand. The rest,well one end has been condemned for HOW long and the other two are not far off are they now let's be honest. Utter dungeon like shithole's your two 'useable' stand's.
In summing up i'd say that your 3 sided ground is a fair reflection of your town.One nice bar or shop,the rest pound shop's,bedsit's and spice head's.

Water damage is "Substantial" They've got to wait for it to dry out before any work can be carried out. I wonder if they can ask FC to switch to their home on Saturday.
