What role is the WST now playing? - Page 6 - RedPassion.co.uk

Why don’t the WST and main WAFC supporters club merge, and call themselves something new? I think most fans could throw away their prejudice and rally round for the club.

Now the takeover has been completed it would have been nice to have had some communication that they are at least reviewing the role of the WST prior to presenting the prospective vision(s) to members.

There are also some things that we where told would be held up until the takeover has been confirmed, i.e. process for requesting community shares if people wish to do so. These things should have been primed and ready to go. I would be happy to continue paying what i do as a member to a WST with a new relevance but the longer inaction last the more likely i will stop.

We have a meeting this week to discuss a broad range of things that the chairman wishes to discuss. I expect a members meeting will be called fairly soon, to engage with members and inform them of any updates and gather their thoughts also.

None of which WST did.

ADC is run by the DSA and Alan March Sports, and the FC DLO sorted the quiet room.

The DSA instigated Autism Friendly football in 2013, WST took control to run further events in 2014. Never happened. DSA put on another in 2018 and recommended to the club that instead of an "event" it became standard practice. DLO made that a reality and has since enhanced it further.
