Resolution I: In line with our constitutional obligation to protect the heritage of our club, Members of the Society are concerned that the owners of our club have changed its name from Wrexham AFC to Wrexham FC and respectfully request them to hold a public consultation on this matter to let the supporters decide whether such a change is necessary or desirable.
We are not saying the change of name is necessarily wrong.
We are saying that the fans should have been included in the process. After all it is our club.
We are disappointed that Mr Moss has stated to the Board of the WST that he will not enter into any correspondence on this issue.
We are disappointed that he has not explained the reasoning behind the change of badge and name.
By implication we are suggesting that in any future issues of this nature the supporters of the club are consulted before any changes are made.
We feel that by backing this measure we will be sending out a clear message to the clubs owners that the fans voice should be heard in the decision making process.
After all, that is what supporters organisations are supposed to do.

We start with Resolution D Resolution D. (Proposed by the Societys board) Following the recent successful exit from administration, the Trust board would like to re-iterate its commitment to helping the clubs recovery by proposing a 50/50 split on future Trust profits, above those set out in Resolution C.

- Resolution H: - Resolution H: Members of the Society believe that a large measure fans ownership of the club is its only effective long-term safeguard. As such we do not wish to place an upper limit on money raised by the WST. In support of this we call upon the board of the WST to set up a sub committee, drawn from the membership, to co-ordinate and increase the revenues of the society. Again we are grateful to the board of WST for backing this measure. At some point in the future the current owners will be looking to exit the club. WST...
- Resolution F: Our reasoning - Resolution F Members of the society cannot support any proposal to separate our club from its ownership of the Racecourse Ground and the Colliers Park training facility and call upon the Board of the Society to set up a sub-committee, drawn from the membership, to explore alternatives to this scenario. If you look at a list of clubs that have lost ownership of their grounds it doesn't fill you with much optimism. Oxford United Cambridge United Chester City York City Brentford Wimbledon Boston United None of these clubs could currently be described as a raging success and it may be...
- Resolution J - Resolution J:Members of the society believe that retaining the Racecourse as a 15,000 capacity International Standard Stadium is a priority for the club and the town of Wrexham and call on the Wrexham Maelor Borough Council to ensure that this becomes a reality by ensuring that funding is in place to build the new Kop stand prior to granting detailed planning permission for the development behind the Kop. Outline planning consent was granted for the development last May and the clauses relating to the granting of detailed consent were made at that time. At the WST members meeting on August...

- RESOLUTION E - Whilst we understand that all Trusts have to have a board membership policy we are uncomfortable with several of the clauses included in this proposal. In particular we wish to highlight clause B1 that states, “Members of the Board acknowledge that discussions at Board Meetings are strictly confidential save where expressly stated not to be” We feel that the wording of this clause should be altered as follows, “Members of the Board acknowledge that discussions at Board meetings are not strictly confidential save where expressly stated to be so” It is absurd to suggest that board members cannot discuss the...
- Resolution K - Resolution K: Members of the society call upon the board of the WST to appoint a negotiating team of professionals to handle all negotiations with the owners of the football club relating to the purchase of the club. When companies buy and sell parts of their business they generally appoint a team of people to handle the detail. Lawyers, Accountants business experts and so on. These people then report back to the board with a set of recommendations. We see no reason why the WST should be any different in this regard. There are people within the membership who are...

The Racecourse is the oldest existing International FootballStadium. At the first ever International game (Scotland 1877) the players actually changed in the Turf. We are grateful to the Board of the WST for their support of this resolution and to everybody who signed the petition. We...
