Understandably given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, football\nis low on a lot of people\u2019s priority lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Wrexham Supporters Trust and Wrexham AFC Board\nmust also look at how to protect the future of our football club \u2013 and for this\nwe need your help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As outlined in the club statement, when the decision was\ntaken to furlough all Wrexham AFC employees, the pandemic represents a serious\nthreat to the financial health of the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrexham AFC are not alone in this regard, of course, and we\nare fully aware supporters \u2013 including ourselves personally \u2013 have been\nseriously impacted, be it from a health, financial or social standpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not the time for us to \u2018get the begging bowls out\u2019 \u2013\nand nor would this be feasible in the current climate \u2013 but there are other\nways supporters can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are proud to be a supporter-owned football club, and it\nis in times like this we need the involvement of as many of our supporters as\npossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wrexham Supporters Trust are keen for fresh ideas to\nhelp navigate the club through this unprecedented time and we want to hear from\nyou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any ideas or comments you have, please feel free to get in\ntouch \u2013 you can email ideas to membership@wst.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are fully aware there are a number of supporters unhappy\nwith the football club and the current ownership model, and we are certainly\nnot beyond reproach or criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While, honestly, we feel some of the criticism has been\nunjustified, we also understand the main measure of a club\u2019s success is on the\npitch \u2013 and frankly, this season has been disappointing for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wrexham AFC should never be measuring their success on just\nsurviving in the National League, so however the current season concludes it\nhas been one of the most disappointing in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this, we all take responsibility and, when football\nresumes, we accept we will all have serious questions to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More immediately, however, we have a responsibility to\nensure that \u2013 whenever football resumes \u2013 we still have a Football Club to\nsupport (and not just one that exists, but one that is capable of the success\nwe all crave).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why we are calling on all supporters to get\ninvolved, regardless of your current views of the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The time to pursue changes will come \u2013 and we have systems\nin place to ensure ALL members can have their voices heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, however, we urge all supporters to come together in\nthe common interest of protecting the future of Wrexham AFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We continue to welcome Trust membership too, of course,\nthough we understand this is a difficult time to take on new financial\ncommitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who can afford it, however, it remains from just\n\u00a31 a month to be a Trust member and every bit helps \u2013 big or small. Trust\nmembership also allows you to vote at AGMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
