Revival

The Fans’ Parliament is the AGM of the Football Supporters’ Federation (FSF). It is taking place on the weekend of the 2nd 3rd & 4th June, 2006 at the Wild Pheasant Hotel, Llangollen, and admission is free. Fans from all corners of the country will be turning up to discuss what changes need to be made in football and what we can do to affect those changes.

Read on for details of changes to the order of the conference weekend.

Welsh international Robbie Savage and Northern Ireland international Jim Whitley will both be joining fans in the Wrexham Lager Club to tell stories from their careers. Both lads will be reminiscing from their school days at Bryn Alyn in Gwersyllt, and how they went on to become professional footballers, and play at the very top.

Both have had their up’s and downs along the way, but both have become respected in their profession for the way they play the game. This is your opportunity as a Trust member to sit down with both players and listen to some interesting stories and have a few laughs along the way!

The event is taking place in the big room of the Wrexham Lager Club,and tickets are limited. Tickets will be on sale very soon and will cost £12 each, including your curry!!

The Supporters Trust have been looking to go out into other areas in a bid to help promoting Wrexham AFC. It is with this in mind that we are looking to hold Fans Forum’s in areas where there is a large Wrexham contingent.

The first one of these events is due to be held on Wednesday 15th March at the Lane End Workingmen’s Club in Buckley. The top table of the Forum will have two Trust Board members, and hopefully Wrexham manager Denis Smith, and one or two players.

The evening will begin at 7.30pm for 8pm. Non members are welcome to come along, and hopefully they will join on the night. This is a great chance for those fans in the Flintshire area to have their say on Wrexham Football Club on there own door step.

On Friday 10th March the Shropshire Reds are holding a 30th Anniversary reunion of the Wrexham team that reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1975/76. Players invited include Brian Lloyd, Gareth Davies, Graham Whittle, Mel Sutton, Billy Ashcroft, Arfon Griffiths etc, and manager John Neal.

They will recall memories of those memorable giant-killing days, when Wrexham came so close to beating an Anderlecht side who had Dutch World Cup stars such as Robbie Rensenbrink and Arie Haan in a team that went on to win the trophy by beating West Ham United in the final.

The evening will be held at the Centenary Club, Wrexham, and tickets will be £10 each, including Hotpot. Proceeds from this evening will be donated to the Trust.

Wrexham Supporters Trust is holding a members meeting on Monday 23rd February at the Miners Institute in Grosvenor Road, Wrexham, starting at 7.30pm for 8pm. As well as an update on Trust business, there will also be guest speakers, who will be announced in the press as soon as confirmed.

By the time of the meeting, we will hopefully know the outcome of the appeal between the Administrator and Crucial Move Ltd. This meeting will obviously give the chance for members to ask any questions which they feel they do not understand about the current situation.

Anyone wishing to join the Trust on the night will be made most welcome.

The next meeting of the Manchester Reds is at 7.30pm in Bar Centro, Tib Street, Manchester City Centre on Thursday February 9th. See http://www.centrobar.co.uk/centro.html for directions etc.

This is a chance for Manchester-based Wrexham fans to get together have a chat, organise lifts to games and have a few beers. All Welcome to attend. See the Manchester Reds or Red Passion websites for more details:
