I wanted to start this week by welcoming the four new signings who've joined since last week's column.

As everybody knows, our status as a Welsh club playing across borders means that we are bound by Transfer window restrictions that don't effect the rest of the league.

Despite the resources the new owners bring in, we don't have the capacity to bring someone in on loan or sign someone permanently until the summer, unless they were unattached before Feb 1.

It would be nice to do something like that but one of the things that we are grateful for is that we see amongst the fanbase that they understand the predicament we are in, and the measures that we have taken over the last week are those that are available for the club.

It's a tricky set of circumstances, but we are delighted that we've been able to find some reinforcements and are confident they'll be able to help us push for the play-offs.

It was always going to be a real challenge for us to find a way to replace Kwame Thomas and his abilities and goals, so it was pleasing to see Gold Omotayo picking up the mantle and winning a flick-on for Dior Angus' goal on Tuesday night.

I thought Gold was a handful and he did everything that you want a targetman to do.

We had a couple of frustrating games where we worked hard and the players did everything asked of them but then came up short on the end of two 1-0 losses from set-pieces.

Then we had a game against Stockport that we all want to expunge from the memory!

A 4-0 win away at a promotion rival helps cleanse the palate but we have to kick on in these final games if we want to lock in that playoff spot.

Away from the pitch, we are putting plans in place for a club advisory board that is going to be made up of supporters from across the full spectrum of our fanbase.

We want to make sure that it is open to Wrexham Supporters Trust members, season ticket holders who are not in the WST, and fans from other fans' groups that maybe feel their voice has not been heard as much in and around the corridors of the club over the last few years.

We look forward to having a fans' board effectively that is going to be a dialogue; they can help to inform us about the direction they want to see the club going.

We want to make sure that we don't take the club in a direction that means it becomes unrecognisable to fans that have been the backbone of the place for many years.

Being able to have a forum in which we can talk with them about how we are doing things seems like an important thing to have going, and I think it has been done successfully at other clubs.

We are also starting to put into place our plans for pre-season and the start of next season.

That is made difficult by the possibility we may start on August 7 if we make it into the Football League or August 21 if we are still in the National League, so we are coming up with dual plans.

Fingers crossed we have to worry more about August 7 rather than August 21!

We are looking to arrange an exciting tour in pre-season, but whether or not we can do it is, to a certain extent, out of our hands.

The timescales of when and where people can and can't travel due to Covid 19 are constantly changing so our plans have to constantly evolve.

We may end up on the far side of the world, or we may end up with a wet weekend in Rhyl. Only time will tell!

Up the Town!
