ON Saturday 7 May Wrexham FC plays Huddersfield Town in what may be the North Wales club’s last ever league game.
This week Wrexham was relegated from League 1 following defeat by Brentford. The club would have maintained its League 1 status but for the ludicrous deduction of 10 hard-earned points by the Football League.
Now in just 35 days time the famous Red Dragons will completely cease to exist unless a buyer can be found before the Football League’s AGM on 10 June.
Wrexham faces liquidation after 133 years of proud league status. It will be the first established Football League club to go out of existence since Aldershot FC in 1992.
Fans blame Wrexham’s plight on its chairman/property developer Alex Hamilton, who has pledged to evict the club and bulldoze its Racecourse Ground during the summer.
But as profiteer owners have ruined clubs from Doncaster Rovers to York City and Brighton and Hove Albion to Darlington, the FA and Football League have stood by and done little to help, other than agree a toothless “Fit and Proper Persons” test.
So Fans United is calling on ALL football fans to come to the Racecourse Ground on Saturday (kick off 3pm) and stand shoulder to shoulder with Wrexham supporters in a mass show of solidarity and tell the Football League and FA that enough is enough … step in now and save the heart of British football.
Prior to the game at 2pm all fans are also invited to join Wrexham supporters in a march from the town’s Guildhall to the Racecourse Ground. The march is timed to coincide with a similar demonstration in Cambridge and offer solidarity with Cambridge United fans in a similar fight for survival.
