Hopefully the new owners will use the fanbase to continue some of the great work going on via the volunteer fanbase and we can re-establish the centre of excellence/academy and accelerate the production line of talent we once benefitted from so greatly.

Hopefully in 2 or 3 seasons we will have a new kop stand, a bigger stadium and be playing better quality football in a higher division. Coyr!!

well said its like the premiership trying to play there reserve in the lower leagues. To me it smack of the worst kind of hypocrisy. Surely as ‘at the moment’ we are a fans owned club and we must not screw up the wpl pyramid structure

I would continue to support a refocused WST.

I would want significant changes to its mission and methods to avoid ever causing such a rift between fans in the future. I would want a much simpler process for removing people from positions of authority.

The ideal mission or vision to me would be football and fans first. Not being an organisation governed by fear of the past.

I agree with this post. I am very much in favour of fans being involved with a supporters association. The problem as we can all see over the last few years has been that it is very difficult to support a team that play very poor football and appear poorly coached and managed. Covid has brought its own problems because you cannot even go and watch it even though it has been poor fare! Clubs and their communities are very obviously aligned. A month of lockdown does not sound good from the supporters point of view but something has to be done about this virus. I shall keep up my membership of the Wrexham Supporters Association because my grandfather helped to set a Supporters Club up simply to support the club and to do simple things to raise money and interest. The sooner we get back to that way of life the better.

Your grandfather was a pioneer and WAFCSA legend.
