Resolution I: In line with our constitutional obligation to protect the heritage of our club, Members of the Society are concerned that the owners of our club have changed its name from Wrexham AFC to Wrexham FC and respectfully request them to hold a public consultation on this matter to let the supporters decide whether such a change is necessary or desirable.
We are not saying the change of name is necessarily wrong.
We are saying that the fans should have been included in the process. After all it is our club.
We are disappointed that Mr Moss has stated to the Board of the WST that he will not enter into any correspondence on this issue.
We are disappointed that he has not explained the reasoning behind the change of badge and name.
By implication we are suggesting that in any future issues of this nature the supporters of the club are consulted before any changes are made.
We feel that by backing this measure we will be sending out a clear message to the clubs owners that the fans voice should be heard in the decision making process.
After all, that is what supporters organisations are supposed to do.

Perhaps it was seen by Geoff as trivial? Not the biggest issue the club has faced is it... I see the point though.... where the fans ever consulted about the nickname change?
i think there was a meeting of fans groups and the commercial guy whose name escapes me.there was then a leader vote i think.
there was also a consultation when the badge changed in the 70s.i think the badge chosen was actually the winner in a competition.
So you are asking for the owners to remember that the club is about the fans and that to make changes such as this one, to the name, without consulting fans is disrespectful of the fans role/place in the club. It's not just about the change from AFC to FC it's about the principle in general. I would support this stance.
i believe that the club have agreed to consider the change to 1872 from 1873 which will obviously have cost implications.
why cant this be addressed at the same time?
