Wrexham Supporters Trust Annual General Meeting at Dragons News (from Wrexham Football Club)

The following candidates are standing for election to the board of the WST on a joint platform.

Colin Bithell
Lindsay Jones
Wayne Price
Len Willett
Phil Wynne

We have proposed the following six resolutions. We are grateful for the support of members who have seconded these measures and feel sure that, if passed, they will provide the WST with a clear platform for the next twelve months.

Over the next two weeks we will expand on our reasons for proposing these measures in a lot more detail.

It is absolutely vital for the future of our club that the WST takes the necessary measures to protect its future and long term interests.

We feel that the present strategy of the board of the WST is too narrowly focussed to be effective and that the WST needs to take further measures to achieve its aims.

Resolutions

Resolution G: Members of the Society believe that the Turf Hotel is an important part of our cultural heritage and are opposed to plans to demolish this building. We call upon the Board of the WST to set up a sub-committee, drawn from the membership, to campaign for the preservation of this iconic building.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
