When I read some of the comments / threads I feel very concerned about our future . There seems to be so much hostility and negativity
towards the WST board and I find that disappointing . I don’t know any of the individuals who are on the board but it’s my understanding that they perform unpaid roles .

I have no doubt that they have made mistakes ( every business does ) but I would hazard a guess that those are entirely honest mistakes with the interests of the club at heart .

I can understand the fans frustration but we all need to be careful that this doesn’t boil over and destroy the club . The atmosphere at some of the home games has been unpleasant and surely this doesn’t help the players confidence .

10 years ago we almost went out of business and it looks as though we are avoiding relegation this season by pure luck .

The football I have watched Wrexham play since Ricketts left has been the worst I have ever seen since my first match in 1967. There has only been one game where I thought we looked good in patches this season and that was at Woking away when
Brian Flynn was the caretaker manager .

The football has been dire but we have an opportunity to unify and take stock. The board need to be honest about the financial challenges facing the club and the supporters need to be realistic about they require going forward . If the supporters want a “ people’s champion “
on the board that individual needs some business acumen together with a desire to give up lots of his/ her time and understand they will be the subject of unjustified abuse .

I think the most critical need is for an individual
who has the ability to lead and unite the fans with the board . If we are ever going to get out of this league we need to be united going into the preseason and the fans need to be aware of the scale of any financial
problem .

If we are in significant financial difficulties , let’s disclose it so the fans can
be realistic in their expectations . Maybe by being honest we set expectations that we can’t afford big wages and we therefore have no option other than to play local
lads and go part time .

It could be a turning point for the club . If you have a trade or decent career prospects AND you can play good football
surely it’s better than being a full time player on £600- £1000
a week on a 12 month
contract particularly if you have young kids

Hopefully someone can unite us all soon and next season is a good one as there is no better place than the Racecourse when it’s rocking and we play attacking football
