Default Re: Bangor friendly - Director response to questions

This was my response to one of the e-mails.

Quote:
Thanks for getting back to me and I respect the fact that you're always willing to engage with other fans.

I thought it might be the case that the board keeps an arm's length on these decisions and for 99.9% of the time I think that's a perfectly sensible approach.

With regards to Bangor City and the Vaughans though, I'd respectfully suggest this is a unique situation where the board ought to intervene.

I appreciate that we have an obligation to fans in other parts of North Wales, but there are plenty of other clubs which don't have owners as morally repugnant as the Vaughan family. They've killed three clubs now and but for the grace of god and resilience of our fans, they could've done the same to us.

There's also the small matter of their current director of football, Stephen Vaughan Jr, having a conviction for helping a man who killed a police officer to skip the country.

If we really want to show solidarity with Bangor fans, we shouldn't wait for them to go pop before offering support. It should be done now, as so many other clubs and supporters did for us in the past.

The only people we're helping by going through with this friendly are the Vaughans and their cronies. I've been approached by countless Wrexham fans today who say they won't pay money to Bangor in good conscience and I believe the club's current position is untenable.

Are we a community club which wants to support others or one which stands by and watches as others fall?

I am happy to keep these e-mails private, but once more information is provided I'd like to share a brief summary of the club's stance in a way which doesn't compromise you or others.

I feel very strongly about this matter, probably more strongly than I have on anything for a while. However, I'm also grateful for the work which you as board members put in, and am sorry to hear about the distress some of our less understanding supporters are causing.

I know it's a bit late in the day re: the Bangor fixture, but I do hope that the board can understand the strength of thought on this issue.
