What role is the WST now playing?

An interesting theory!

With the right people on the board, depending on what it is focusing on achieving, it could still appeal to members/fans. I’ve paid my membership for the season, so surely there should be some correspondence in the near future outlining the Trusts role, if indeed there is to be a role at all.

Perhaps a wider consultancy role, advising clubs considering Fan Ownership.

Specifically, how to conceal loans, believe in your own rhetoric, keep fans in the dark, appoint Managers and other staff and keep faith in a universally failed political system.

Ha! That did make me laugh.

Scheming against the new owners will be high on their agenda I imagine. They cannot be trusted.

I think there will be a period of reflection, then an open invitation to members to address the role of the trust in the future.
The trust have the lease on the ground and that provides a degree of security.
It does seem strange that improvements to the ground will have to be endorsed by both the Trust and the UNI, though I can't envisage circumstances where the trust would object.

Do the trust continue with their community efforts, especially with autistic kids and the partially sighted? ( With the football clubs approval)
Do we as a club, sit back and enjoy the ride on the coat tails of Rob and Ryan or do we still raise funds and take an active role in our future?
Who sits on the Honorary board and can represent the club, on a dirty wet night in Torquay or Barrow, Hartlepool or Southend?
Will there still be a requirement for Volunteers?
Will trust / football club membership still have priority benefits?

It is a serious question though. I understand and accept their responsibility with the lease and I think that there is a need to continue with the entity should everything go pear shaped with the club some time down the line . I have never tried to hide my support for what it did to keep the club afloat over many years . Sometimes it did it badly , sometimes the opposite but the bottom line was always that it secured the future of the club . The past is now over. I am expecting the Trust to let us know how they see their role in the future.

Wrexham fans need to unite under the new regime. This cannot be done through the trust. Thousands would join a new supporters association giving fans a chance of being part of the club without the politics and secret society mentality.
As for the trust future role? The majority of Wrexham fans dont care

Considering they've known about the takeover for some time, I'm surprised there's been nothing proactive from the WST on their future role already.

A rebrand and building bridges with the fan base is required in the short term given some of the recent events.

It would be good to have a strong voice for the fans under the new ownership. As good as their intentions are, it's always a must. I'm just not sure it would be a good look though if some of the individuals who have talked down to other supporters or even tried to cost them their jobs are involved in that set up.

A slow death I would imagine.
