Wrexham Football Club's 5pm deadline over league spot

Wrexham Football Club has until 5pm today to satisfy league bosses it can fulfil its financial and fixture commitments this season. The club has been told its place in the Blue Square Premiership is at stake.

But a statement on the club's website says it has already fulfilled three of the four conditions needed to stay in the league.

On Friday a Football Conference panel told the club it had to deposit a bond or guarantee of £250,000 into the competition's accounts, prove all creditors and players had been paid, provide a lease showing where home fixtures will be played, and submit a detailed business plan and revised budget for the coming season.

Wrexham's players pulled out of a friendly last month when they weren't paid on time.

The club statement read: "We can confirm as of today Wrexham FC (2006) Ltd has completed the sale of the Racecourse and Colliers Park to Glyndwr University.

"Having liaised with the Conference today, we are happy to confirm that of the four issues raised in their press statement, three have been dealt with immediately as a result of the sale and the fourth will be conducted prior to the deadline set."
