Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
It's what we were all told, via the club's press release.
If the LR concert requires the corner for entry and exit, does this put the mockers on future concerts, when P2 is completed?.

Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
Progress report about the platform, taken from the December WST Board Minutes:
"GJ – disabled platform plans with Phil Salmon. Original plans rejected by WCBC. Plans re-drawn. He has the materials to build, and it is ready to put together. On board meeting agenda for tomorrow night. New plans are better. Have full support of Dave Sharp (planning officer). Blessing of all the people that could stop it happening. Kit is three-quarters assembled in workshop. Matter of days assembling it on site here. Plans just need to be approved by Council." Subsequent announcement of further delays until after the Lionel Richie concert defy credibility! Last edited by The Only Way Is Up; 13th February 2020 at 04.42:28.. |

Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
No surprises here.
It is consistent with everything that has gone before. The WST members voted democratically to build the platform. The WST board were against it. The WST members won the vote. Result. The platform does not get prioritised. There are differences of opinion between the key stakeholders of where the platform should be located. The platform does not get build. The platform is continually delayed for one reason or another. I do recognise it certainly isn't a very easy and simple thing for the Club to do. It requires design and build engineering, back and to planning approval, the loss of a few seats and allocating the finance budget to pay for it that would have been allocated to another area. It also requires good clear communication to keep everyone updated. (Though this hasn't happened. It has seemed like visiting a dentist. Pulling teeth) The bit I really don't get is why the WST board and Club board wouldn't have wanted to vote to support something that is truly an exceptional marketing asset for any club owned by its community of fan members. And apart from its marketing potential (media and press) the most important thing is providing fans (customers) of the Football Club with an equal playing field through equal accessibility and equal amenity. The DSA have done and continue to do a fantastic job for those fans of Wrexham AFC with disabilities. Diversity, accessibility and inclusivity for all are incredibly important elements in any progressive organisation in 2020. I really don't get it at all.

It's a poor solution to the problem in creating a stand alone area for a very limited no. of supporters. Preference given to away fans. For home fans it is remote and whilst anything is better than nothing, this is as close to nothing that the disabled fans could get. |

Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
As I see it there is no notice about this on the WST site. This is where such announcements should be posted first !!!!!! Or have I missed something?
The 'Fed' have their role but I would have thought paid up members should be kept informed first. It was after all a resolution of the members. |

Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
Toby - It wasn't the building of another platform per se, that the WST board opposed when voting took place, it was the actual resolution, and the necessity therein to bring such projects to fruition "at the earliest possible opportunity".
