Sign the petition and support the Wrexham Two

 

ON Friday (15 April 2005) the High Court in Manchester served an injunction on two Wrexham FC supporters preventing them from distributing or otherwise publishing details of taped conversations with the former club chairman Mark Guterman.

 

The gagging order – pursued by Mr Guterman – prevents Lindsay Jones and Kenny Pemberton from revealing the truth about the machinations behind the last two years ownership of their club.

 

Some 23 hours of taped conversations with Mr Guterman – recorded over a nine month period – expose sensational and shocking details. We anticipate this information will be revealed when the terms of this gagging order are overturned, as justice demands.

 

Breach of a High Court injunction by any named individual or their friends or agents is considered contempt of court and is an imprisonable offence.

 

But football fans throughout the UK have supported Wrexham in its battle for survival during the past year.

 

Now Fans United – an ad hoc grouping of thousands of football fans from many different clubs – is asking ALL supporters to back Lindsay and Kenny – known as the Wrexham Two – and sign a petition to help lift the gagging order.

 

A Fans United organiser and Brighton supporter Nic Outterside said: “Profiteer owners and their chairmen have ruined clubs from Doncaster Rovers to York City, Brighton and Hove Albion to Darlington and Carlisle to Wrexham.

 

“Fans have fought back in any and everyway they can. In the case of Wrexham, matters have now come to a head.

 

“All Kenny, Lindsay and others have been trying to do is expose the duplicity and questionable behaviour of those who have taken their club to the brink of ruin.

 

“The use of a High Court injunction to prevent them telling the truth is the action of a desperate man determined to hide that truth.

 

“We now call on all football fans to give their support to Lindsay and Kenny and sign the Support the Wrexham Two on-line petition.”
