So a new PA system? does that mean Cleggy isn't going to sound like a Darlek no more? Decent statement that tbf and the board are clearly working round the clock to get everything sorted asap.

A bold statement leaving no stone unturned to quash any nonsense rumours. Even mentions about measures to stop the initial flooding, rcb will be over the moon.

That statement could not be clearer. We've had quite a year really. Hopefully only positives to come from now on.

My favourite conspiracy from today's statement coming from a Stockport fan: "Its an elaborate excuse to disguise the fact your yobbish managers trashed the place after 8-1 loss fair play to anyone who took time to write something that long winded"

Such a shame that a statement of the like was needed. It was superbly delivered though and those troublemakers among our fans will have to regroup and go again. Unnecessarily confrontational post. Surprised you haven’t mentioned £12 expectations this time! Of course the statement was needed for the sake of openness and clarity. Are you not aware that when information is withheld people can feel they are being kept in the dark for a reason, hence conspiracy theories. Let’s look at this earlier post, for example...”the flood damage was caused when the gutter drain from the main stand which butts against the building over flowed with water as it could not escape. Why didn't it run down the drains ..... the drains were blocked. what blocked the drains? general rubbish and over a dozen footballs .... lack of maintenance cause the problem not a botched repair...... will the insurance cover negligence in the maintenance schedule?... hope so......” Quite an accusation! The statement you think was superbly delivered...”As advised through local media this damage was caused through the pitched roof draining rain water into a drainage system on the flat roof with a limited volume capacity.” Unfortunately the statement doesn’t go into detail or reason for the “limited volume capacity.” i am am not in a position to determine whether the author of the earlier post falls within your definition of “troublemaker” or not.

I am sorry to keep butting in, but the whole situation looks like mountains and molehills Firstly if the PA and control room equipment was switched off during the storm , then there is every chance that that it could be dried out and reused. Secondly, there seems the some debate out the cause of the leak. I would have thought that this should have been resolved by now, by asking a local builder, to hire a cherry picker and take look ! Thirdly does the insurance cover new for old as it would with a household policy?

We sure have some class supporters.some of the posts on here )by the usual suspects ) firstly all these ifs and in hindsight.we didn't do the ifs and we haven't got hindsight so is it not about time this post is closed down.we have now had a more than necessary statement giving an explanation at where we are at but is that enough. no way this is cfc so we'll scratch dig and make up more sh-t. to under mine all the good work thats been put in to the club.in fifty two years of construction I've yet to see a drain on a building that size that could hold a dozen footballs but hey if you don't know for sure just make it up.rant now over

As the saying goes, why let the truth get in the way of a good story !
I have one question for the conspiracy theorists. Why would a club with limited finances fabricate a situation whereby they would lose revenue from 3 matches, possibly lose ground on teams in the division and incurr a congested fixture list which would increase risk of injury to an already limited squad?

What us outsiders really cant understand is why hasnt your rich benifactor stepped in quickly to help you out ? As a surveyor I fully understand the damage that a storm can cause but this all seems rather mysterious and were any other properties damaged by the storm in question ? anyway it will be intetesti g to see what happens at Telford I predict a solid 0-0 draw with you playing 5 3 2

That's the whole purpose. I'm sure for all their wealth, the Arab owners of Manchester City will be paying their insurance on the Etihad.

Arrange for a set of massive floodlights from somewhere to help dry out the electrics? No matter how much money was thrown at it, it would still have taken the same time to dry it out and be subsequently tested. A sense of perspective needed.

This so called damage could and should have been sorted out within a week prov8ding the will and cash was available. Ever heard of dehumidifiers or new wiring or perhaps a temporary solution such as hired equipment ,portacabins etc ? If your so called sugar daddy was so great he could have got contractors in to sort this mess out pdq but as I said it needed a will to do the work quickly and it appears not to be there for some reason .I may be completely wrong and if I am I m sorry but something stinks here and its not just your soggy flooring.

And more patently what on earth has it got to do with you goaty boy? But enjoy our problems while you can, because karma can be a right pain. Lets hope for the 11th consecutive season goats fans have again to face up to their NON league reality.

I don't really care what outsiders think or what some of our own fans think tbh, from day one the club has been open and honest about the situation. I was on my way home from Southport that day and was in a taxi not far from the club when that rain hit and I can honestly say it was like a monsoon, it was like a total white out as we approached it. Even the taxi driver said to me is that rain and when we hit it even with his windscreen wipers on full he said this is dangerous as he could barely see the road in front of him. By the time we got out the taxi and ran to our door we were soaked and I can honestly say I've not seen rain like that, On the back of the defeat we had I can understand peoples suspicions but to witness that rain you would understand how the damage happened. If you listen to dee's Friday night show and listen to David Harrington-Wright he puts things into perspective but you can hear the frustration in his voice about some of the comments that have been made, things have to be safe for everyone. We all want to see football but lets be safe and be professional about it and say thankyou to the club for the effort they are putting in to make it that way. soundcloud.com/dee-106-3/tfnfs-24th-aug-18

Oh yes we Were but let's not see that get in the way of an ill thought out conspiracy theory from a Wrexham fan hey! Did you really think we wanted to lose revenue from all the home games that we've had postponed and really wanted to be slipping down the table whilst not playing too. Give your red head a wobble!

I am glad we are well insured and can see many positives in getting new PA equipment and other improvements, so it will be worth the wait! Most commercial insurance policies have cover for business interruption costs and as we have suffered with postponed games which will result in lower gates, can we claim compensation for lost revenue. Are you able to advise, Jeff?

The sad fact for you lot is the fact that you can only laugh at our misfortune and not celebrate your club’s success because like us, you’ve been crap for years. I’ll laugh my head off when you lot cock it up again.
