A Timeline of Wrexham Football Club and the Racecourse Ground Llinell-Amser O Glwb Pêl-Droed Wrecsam A'r Cae A TIMELINE OF WREXHAM FOOTBALL CLUB AND THE RACECOURSE GROUND LLINELL-AMSER O GLWB PÊL-DROED WRECSAM A’R CAE RAS 01 Wrexham Football Club is no ordinary football club. Founded in 1864, just one year after the Football Association first met and the Laws of the Game were first written, Wrexham is the third oldest professional football club in the world. Over the years the team and its ever-loyal supporters have experienced together the joy of victory, the frustration of near success and the despair that follows defeat. The fans have cheered each time a goal has hit the back of the opposing team’s net. When Wrexham have been ahead, they have anxiously counted down those final, seemingly endless minutes of injury time before exploding with joy as the final whistle blows. They have never given up; even when all hope of victory has slipped away. Wrexham fans have witnessed the highs and the lows that are the milestones in the story of every football club. This booklet details those milestones and includes additional information about those events in the history of the club and the Racecourse which we had to exclude from the exhibition timeline for reasons of space.

Cafodd ei sefydlu ym 1864, prin flwyddyn ar ôl i’r Gymdeithas Bêl-droed gyfarfod am y tro cyntaf a dyna pryd yr ysgrifennwyd Rheolau Swyddogol Pêl-droed gyntaf. Wrecsam yw’r clwb pêl-droed proffesiynol trydydd hynaf yn y byd. Dros y blynyddoedd mae’r tîm a’i gefnogwyr bythol ffyddlon wedi profi’r ing a’r gorfoledd fel ei gilydd - buddugoliaeth, boddi yn ymyl y lan, a cholli gemau hefyd. Mae’r cefnogwyr wedi bloeddio cymeradwyaeth bob tro y mae gôl wedi cael ei sgorio yn erbyn y gwrthwynebwyr. Pan mae Wrecsam wedi bod ar y blaen maent wedi bod ar bigau’r drain wrth i’r amser anafiadau lusgo ymlaen yn ddiddiwedd, i bob golwg - ac yna wedi gweiddi hwrê ar ôl i’r chwiban olaf gael ei chwythu. Nid ydynt erioed wedi rhoi’r ffidil yn y to, hyd yn oed pan mae pob gobaith o ennill wedi hen fynd heibio. Mae cefnogwyr Wrecsam wedi profi’r uchafbwyntiau a’r isafbwyntiau, sef y digwyddiadau o bwys yn hanes pob clwb pêl-droed. Yn y llyfryn hwn mae gwybodaeth ychwanegol am yr achlysuron hynny yn hanes y clwb a’r Cae Ras, gwybodaeth nad oedd gennym ddigon o le i’w chynnwys yn llinell-amser yr arddangosfa. Os ydych chi o’r farn ein bod wedi methu rhoi sylw i gêm hollbwysig, ystad- egyn trawiadol, eiliad dyngedfennol neu stori gofiadwy yna mae croeso ichi ddefnyddio’r bwrdd atgofion.

  • Club History
    Club History Organised football in Bangor dates from a meeting held in the city’s Magistrates' Rooms on 18 December 1876 – but not football as we might imagine because it was the handling variety that was first played in the city. It wasn’t until nearly a year later that it was decided to abandon rugby, to concentrate on association football, and to join the Football Association of Wales. The reason for the change of code? The number of players injured in that first experimental season! At that time, the club played at the Maes y Dref ground, at the lower end of Bangor’s High Street, and in the early years concentrated on playing challenge (friendly) fixtures and competing in the various cup competitions. Obviously, the club had no lack of ambition as on Easter Monday 1880, they took on the mighty Blackburn Rovers, giving a good account of themselves in a narrow 2 – 1 defeat. Nine years later, Bangor won the Welsh Cup for the first time, beating Northwich Victoria 2 – 1 at Wrexham before a crowd of 4,000, and in 1895-96 put on an even more impressive performance, beating north Wales giants Wrexham 3 – 0 at Llandudno to win football’s second-oldest cup competition for the second time. The Welsh Cup has been a favourite trophy of Bangor City over the years. City has won the trophy eight times – only Wrexham, Cardiff and Swansea have won it more often. Despite, or perhaps because of, City’s success in cup competitions, it became clear that the Maes y Dref ground was not up to standard, attracting complaints from visiting teams.

For the leaders of the national associations and of UEFA, there is no such thing as a quiet period either. This year, for example, UEFA’s member associations first had the delicate task of deciding who UEFA’s president would be for the next four years. Just a few months later, in April, it will be up to the UEFA Executive Committee to decide where EURO 2012 will take place. 2007 is also likely to be a crucial time in relations between European football and the European Union.

Rugby League as a Televised Product in the United States of America By Mike Morris Abstract Rugby league is a form of rugby that is more similar to American football than its more globally popular cousin rugby union. This similarity to the United States of America’s most popular sport, that country’s appetite for sport, and its previous acceptance of foreign sports products makes rugby league an attractive product for American media outlets to present and promote. Rugby league’s history as a working-class sport in England and Australia will appeal to American consumers hungry for grit and authenticity from their favorite athletes and teams.

Impact of Not Proceeding with the Development 1.0 Project Vision 1.1 Through the establishment of a Project Board the key partners, Allerdale Borough Council, Workington Reds AFC and Workington Town RFLC have agreed the following vision for the development of a new community stadium in Workington: “The new Stadium will be for West Cumbria: accessed and accessible to the community every day of the week as well our professional Football and Rugby League clubs. Our shared aspiration is to create a compelling beacon for civic pride: that excites, enthuses and serves the community and in so doing, generates sporting ambition and inspiration. The Stadium will replace Derwent Park and Borough Park respectively as the home for Workington Town RLFC and Workington Reds AFC with a development that is fundamentally more compatible with a 21st Century, family-centred, leisure and sporting experience for supporters, visitors, amateur and professional athletes. The Stadium will be efficient, safe, robust, and attractive. Above all, it must be sustainable with a broad economic base to ensure viability and latest technologies to make it financially efficient and minimise its own carbon footprint. The Stadium will be a major component in the lower Derwent Valley masterplan alongside the Workington Sports Centre and at the edge of the town centre.
