BRYN LAW admits it would be “catastrophic” if Wrexham were relegated from the National League and questioned whether the club would be able to operate at it’s current level in a lower division.

Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against fellow strugglers Ebbsfleet saw Wrexham drop to the bottom of the table - the Reds’ lowest ever league position.

Dean Keates’ side took just 20 points from the opening 23 games, with last night’s game at Eastleigh marking the start of a vital second half of the season.

Should Wrexham lose their fight against relegation, broadcaster and life-long Reds supporter Law would expect gates and income to fall if the club dropped into the National League North and he says playing in the Cymru Premier could come into consideration to make sure ends meet.

“It would be catastrophic and potentially catastrophic to the future of the football club if Wrexham were relegated,” said Law. “I think it would raise serious questions in terms of how the club is going to exist going forward if it were to come to pass.

“Do we end up in the Cymru Premier because is that where we can only really afford to operate from this point onwards, when the gates are going to fall and commercial income is going to fall.

“Is that where we need to be to be able to operate successfully? Maybe the answer is absolutely not, but we look so far away from being what we are supposed to be which is a Football League club.

“Everything seems to be on the table to me but we have to really sit down and wonder about where we are going because relegation for a football club like Wrexham doesn’t bare thinking about.”

The club’s board of directors reacted to a new low in Wrexham’s history by issuing a statement on Sunday night apologising for the Reds’ situation.

And although they have pledged to invest in the squad during the January transfer window to boost Wrexham’s battle against the drops, Law has been disappointed by the lack of communication from Racecourse chiefs.

“I am very surprised that the board have been so quiet,” said Law. “As a fan, I want them to be telling me what the plan is, what is going to happen.

“I want them to reassure me that there is a plan for this season and if there is, what is it, because we still have a fighting chance of staying up and we have got to move heaven and earth to make sure that we do that.

“But I’m afraid there has to be a plan for next season as well on where we are playing because it can’t come at us like a shock."

Law, who said it would be "short-sighted" of the board of directors to turn down the offer of external investment to take the club forward, added: “Our club is not built to withstand the earthquake of relegation because margins are fine and budgets are tight.

“We have got to be preparing on the worst case scenario basis so I need to know from the board that that sort of thing is happening.

“I am really surprised they have not come out and tried to reassure fans who are clearly disgruntled, clearly unhappy and rightly so, with what we the fans as the owners have allowed to happen to our club.

“I am very surprised that they have not come out and addressed that by doing more than appearing at Trust meetings which are not traditionally well attended and tend to be at times that people struggle to get to.

“I want to hear them say in public what the plan is, what we are going to do about this and how are we going to withstand this, and how is Wrexham Football Club going to survive beyond the potential for the drop this season.”
