Reynolds and McElhenney presented their vision to trust members on 8 November at a virtual meeting, outlining “four guiding principles” behind their takeover bid, which centred around maintaining the club’s community values while also expanding its global reach.
Reynolds and McElhenney also vowed to explore the renovation of the Racecourse Ground, invest in a permanent training facility and guaranteed the club cannot be relocated, renamed or rebranded.
Reynolds and McElhenney’s guiding principles – in full
To protect the heritage that has made Wrexham AFC and the Racecourse Ground such a special place to watch football for the last 156 years.
To reinforce the values, traditions and legacy of this community. We understand and respect the intense loyalty and love for this club and how it’s woven into the fabric of the town and its supporters.
To use our resources to grow the exposure of the club. Of course, this would be in concert with
protecting the heart and spirit of a community-led historical icon. But why can’t the third oldest club in the world have a global appeal?
To reward the faith of the supporters who have stood by Wrexham AFC through its history by putting everything we have towards what all fans want most for their club, and that is to…
Everything we do will be informed by these four principles and never one without the other. We want to be part of Wrexham’s story, not drag the club into ours.
