Trust Board Directors Resign from WWFC Main Board
It is with regret that the Trust Board announces that David Roberton (left) and Don Woodward (right) have both resigned their positions as Trust Directors on the Wycombe Wanderers FC Main Board.
This decision, taken on Friday 30th March 2012, arose as a result of Wycombe Wanderers FC’s failure to lodge its’ Financial Accounts for the year ending 30th June 2011 with Companies House by the end of March deadline.
Such failure, coming as it does despite considerable efforts on their part to ensure compliance, rendered David and Don’s positions untenable and resulted in their decision to resign from the Main Board.
Both David and Don have committed significant time, expertise and energy to their roles as Main Board Directors over several years but are clearly unhappy at the Club’s inability to meet its’ stipulated financial regulatory needs.
We are confident our voice and influence in the Club won’t be diminished by this action. As you know we have built excellent working relationships with the senior figures at the Club and it is these relationships which have given us the opportunity to influence operational issues and to have a much greater overall involvement.
David and Don will continue in their roles as Trust Directors and, together with the Trust Chairman, Trevor Stroud and the remaining Directors, will continue to work in the best long term interests of Wycombe Wanderers FC.

Trust Wins Kit Result for Bury Game
The Club had advised the WW Trust that it was intended for the team to play in the all red strip on Saturday at Bury to avoid any colour clash with the home team, whose first choice kit is white shirt and blue shorts. However the Trust and the Club have now been in further discussions about reconsidering this decision and we are pleased to announce that after consultation with the match referee, the decision has been reversed and the blue quartered shirts will be worn with blue shorts and socks.
The Trust would like to thank its members and other supporters for their input on this subject and to Andy Pelley who took this onboard, contacted the referee and achieved this outcome.
We will also be in the traditional light and dark blue quarters for next Tuesday’s (20th March) away match at Exeter.
As always the final decision on these matters lies with the match referee.
Hopefully we will go to Bury with a positive attitude, to face a team who have not kept a clean sheet in their last 17 games and who have not won in their last 10.
