These were the early days of universal access to the internet, with larger businesses and universities being the main beneficiaries. I was doing a course at Cardiff Uni and was able to keep up with events via our message board. It became apparent that due to Archer and co stalling on renewing...
I remember the Gutterman red card protest, as you say they were in a very similar position to us, in that they had a rogue owner who was trying to asset-strip the club. It doesn't strike me that the new owners are treating Wrexham as some kind of vanity project, there have been numerous items on...
U14 football at Fishersgate rec. Scored a double hat-trick, the only one I can remember was the last, a lob from the edge of the penalty area. We were something like 6-2 up at half time and won the game 9-8.

Increase income tax rate by 2-3p in the pound with, as a few have mentioned, an increase in the personal allowance. A forensic purge on tax evasion which currently costs the country £35b per annum (conservative estimate). Incidentally there are 950 tax fraud investigators whilst there are 1400...
