It's a topic of much debate, we've had polls on all sorts recently, but not this.

How do you see the long term future ownership of Wrexham AFC?

i see those in charge completely opposed to any change, because of a mixture of delusion of grandeur, bloody mindedness, utopean ideals and a necessity to conceal poor management, unless there is a change of policy the club will go into administration the fans will do their best to save it but it may be too late

The concept of fan ownership has its limitations which we have seen the stark reality of in recent years.

Couple that with the calibre people we are able to find to run the club and without changes, there will be no club soon.

Typical negative start to posts.
I am in favour of attracting additional funding but not relinquishing control.
The options listed are Black and white. There are other alternatives.
51% ownership.
Share issues with board representation.

Did you miss Part Ownership and Other?

You wouldn't have voted anyway if those were listed.

I think full sale will never happen in a million years but attracting funding may be a possibility especially with our financial difficulties we keep finding our selves in.

Is part ownership 49% or 51%?

It's a co- ownership, I could list into the 10's different options. It was easy to vote part ownership then go into more detail on your preference.

Or you can choose to be all pedantic about it.

If the WST maintained full ownership of the stadium lease through WST Assets Limited and charged its running costs to the club on a cost recovery basis then I would see selling up to 50% of the club as a real opportunity that would raise capital, being in some real business and commercial skills but not risk the figure of the ground or the club due to the Supporters continues involvement.
