Fans to protest over bidding

09 December 2005

Wrexham fans protestingWREXHAM Fans are to protest at tomorrow's match against what they claim is the continuing involvement of a businessman in bidding for the club.

Some supporters will be picketing the vacant Feathers Public house in the town as a protest against pub owner Paul Buttivant's involvement in the bidding process for Wrexham AFC.

The Feathers has recently been refurbished by Mr Buttivant's company Du'barry Holdings and is currently available to let at E25k per annum through the Liverpool agents Seymour Keren.

Wayne Price, a spokesman for the Wrexham fanzine Dismal Jimmy, said: "The fans want the Moss/Dickens bid to succeed and we are not happy with Mr Buttivant's involvement.

"The protest will start at lunchtime and continue until about 2.30pm when the petition will be taken up to the Racecourse to enable all Wrexham fans to sign. The petition will then be sent to Seymour Kersh."
