Another club in trouble

[Alan W (GNFC)]

An Appeal of the Gravest Magnitude.

 

The Supporters of Wrexham Football Club call upon all football fans & friends to support them during their hour of need.You will be aware of the fact that the current owner, Alex Hamilton, is trying to expel the club from the Football League by refusing to sell the club to interested buyers before the deadline, for coming out of administration, on the 3 June. The Football League have reiterated their intention to expel Wrexham FC if the deadline is not met.We are, therefore, mounting pressure on the FL to review their position and would like our friends to lend us their support in bringing this about. Please sign the letter,displayed below, and send to the FL as soon as possible. Thank you for your support. Art.

 

Proposed Letter to the Football League.

 

To Whom it May Concern

 

The situation at Wrexham Football Club has been well documented over the last year and that you will be fully acquainted with the events leading up to the present impasse. You will also be aware of the fact that the Club lost it's League 2 status, on the basis of a Football League ruling, resulting in a 10 point deduction. This was imposed upon the Club, it's players and supporters, who were not responsible in any way for the activities of the current owner, who was, and still is, pursuing a financial objective involving the redevelopment of the ground.

 

 

At a court hearing last October, Judge Norris, found in favour of the Club in respect to the ownership of the Racecourse ground and recommended that no appeal process was necessary, in his opinion. However, the current owner immediately appealed, against this decision, to the appeal court, who have subsequently granted that his appeal should be heard on February 14/15 at a High Court hearing in London.He is also prepared to take the case to the European Courts in the event of him being unsuccessful with his appeal action.We feel that this is a deliberate delaying tactic, on behalf of the owner, in the hope that the FL's maximum time period, for clubs in administration, is exceeded and that the club is then expelled from the Football League.

 

 

It goes without saying that football is the life-blood of North Wales sport and Wrexham FC is proud of it's 140 year association with the Football League. After all, it is the undisputed home of Welsh football. Today it's School of Excellence and it's Football in the Community activities is a demonstration of the Club's commitment to keeping football alive in a town steeped in footballing history.

 

 

Against this background, we trust that the FA will reconsider the Wrexham situation carefully before reaching any decision on ending the Club's Football League membership. Having forced us to accept League 2 football, through no fault of our own, we hope that you will be sympathetic to our cause and extend the administration period,as appropriate, should it become necessary.Your comments would be appreciated.

Perhaps they should do an online petition, though.
