The fight to save Wrexham FC has moved forward with officials deciding against expelling the club from the league and a redevelopment plan winning approval.
The Football League's board voted to accept a rescue plan by a consortium to take the club out of administration.

And plans for a multi million pound land redevelopment near the Racecourse ground were also given the go-ahead.

Wrexham councillors heard the redevelopment was key to securing the club's future.

There were concerns a Football League meeting in Portugal on Monday would expel Wrexham for being in administration for over 18 months.

But a league spokesman said proposals for a £3.3m takeover led by Wrexham businessman Neville Dickens had met the 18-month deadline.

The decision will now be referred for approval by all Football League clubs.
