No-one wants to be involved in shit like this. Leave it to the Egotists and let them bun fight between themselves. They deserve it. Apathy reigns.

I make this statement now because I am very concerned about the level of abuse directed at certain individual directors especially on social media. Members should question and challenge decisions by their elected representatives - they have delegated power and responsibility to them. It’s one of the many advantages of supporter ownership. Although board members cannot always reveal the sensitive information behind some of those decisions or provide all of the detail about why events occurred. Sometimes for legal reasons.

Importantly, decisions by the club board are made by all directors. They share collective responsibility as do the trust board for their decisions. There will be an opportunity for members to question the board(s) about recent events. To single out individual directors is unfair and illogical and when it’s abusive is completely unacceptable. I’m sure the vast majority of fair minded Wrexham fans would agree with that.

And so I would reassure members that decisions made by the boards are made in good faith with the best interests of the Club in mind. People may disagree with them but please refrain from abusing individual volunteers. Instead use the procedures that exist to question your board members starting with tonight’s members meeting.

Thank you.

Alan Fox
Thanks Alan. You are correct that it is unacceptable for individuals to verbally abuse or threaten individuals.

If fans or WST members have a complaint they should either speak to Pete Jones or write a formal letter of complaint, so their opinions can be examined.

Fans need to stick together, don't become like that lot down the road.

Honest open discussion yes, abuse totally uncalled for and it needs to stop


Don't make tonight into a witch hunt of individuals, collectively they all need to sort out the communication issues etc for the benefit of our club, there are more positives than negatives in the structure. We can all move forward as a fan base and that includes the boards and lets finish the season in a positive fashion on the pitch.

The new manager needs a good show of fans tonight so he knows he has our backing, so get yourself to the Cent tonight.

I agree with this

This is a poor post. Given the amount of discussion of the last couple of days there is clearly no apathy. And ultimately for all the (justifiable) complaints, nothing will change if nobody else steps up. You don’t have to but you can’t shoot the suggestion down because it’s true. Even if you want the club sold someone would have to manage that while working for the club until it happens.

Its true though. How many would put themselves forward?
Thats the apathy I am referring to, not that we dont care enough to comment on here.

Seen plenty of poor comments from many. You going to point them all out?
