Gaz Praises The Trust

Gaz 5Following the dismissal of the Winding Up Petition in the High Court this week, Blues boss Gareth Ainsworth has praised the efforts of the Wycombe Wanderers Trust in helping to raise the money to pay off the outstanding debt to HM Revenue and Customs.

In an interview with Andy Carswell reported in today’s Bucks Free Press, Gaz said that the Trust’s work had enabled him to carry on with team affairs without too many distractions.

Ainsworth said:

“the Trust have been great in keeping those things away from the playing side. I don’t know a great deal about the situation. All I know is having the HMRC off the club is better than it being there and having court hearings  There’s a huge transition that we’ve been through and the Trust have handled it well. It gives me more time to concentrate on the playing side.”

There are still a few legal matters to go through but in due course we will update Trust Members on how the Club’s finances have been stabilized.

As you know, age ranges have been extended to reflect Junior (8 to 18) and Young Adult (19 to 25) secondary and higher education status and use of the Family Stand is encouraged by a price reduction of almost 20% compared with last season. In most areas of the ground, prices have either been held to reflect premium seating areas or reduced. However, should you find that the price of your ticket has increased, the club would like to give you the option to pay the same amount as you did last season on a like-for-like basis.

  • Purchases at the early bird prices effectively provide 7 free games when compared with matchday prices
  • The cost can be spread over a maximum of 4 months
  • Children aged 7 and under go free in the family stand

The brochure can be downloaded below, completed, printed and delivered to Adams Park.

Manager Gareth Ainsworth comments

“… Your support will be as important as ever next season and it really does make a difference. It’s your club and I’m loving every second of being a part of it. Let’s get this place rocking!” 

WWFC Joint Chairman, Don Woodward explains the pricing rationale

“We want to unite the people of High Wycombe and its surrounding areas, giving them plenty of reasons to want to come to Adams Park and be a part of what we are building. We remain extremely grateful to you for standing by the club over the years and for your continued commitment.”

Your Trust appreciates the difficult financial situation that we all face individually and we believe that the Club’s offering will help to ease the purchase.

If you are able and willing to pay in full, for either a one or two year ticket, ideally by cheque, cash or bank transfer, then that would represent a significant contribution to the Club’s finances.

How YOU Can Donate To Help Save YOUR Club

Many members have asked if they can donate more than their annual Trust membership fee.

All Wanderers fans can now help their club by donating £10 a month (or more) as part of a new donation scheme to improve its finances.

Trust chairman Trevor Stroud said:

“There has been much publicity about the football club’s finances and the measures being taken by the Trust to try and rectify the situation.

“Along with the training ground agreement, this is another way to bring in much-needed working capital on a regular basis to help with the everyday running costs of the club and Gareth Ainsworth’s playing budget.”

“We understand times are tough for people financially, but with your help this initiative will go some way in our quest for stability.”

The Standing order form is available to download here while fans will also be able to collect them from around Adams Park between now and the end of the season.

Completed forms can be sent to the address quoted on the form or handed in at the Trust table in the Vere Suite before any home match.

Update 14th April: This scheme has started really well with 107 members now donating (101 monthly, 2 quarterly and 4 annually) which is worth an extra £17,630 pa. There is of course still time to join in and forms are available here, or from the Information Centre at Adams Park.
