Supporter groups unite in open letter urging clarity from club chairman
Last updated 7th Sep 2026
Multiple Shrewsbury Town supporter groups have united to send an open letter to the club's chairman, Roland Wycherley, seeking transparency regarding the club's future plans.
The letter, dated 6th September, addresses concerns about the club’s current state, including its recent relegation to League 2 and the ongoing issues with its stadium's upkeep.
Fans have expressed anxieties about the financial situation and the club's direction following statements made by Mr Wycherley in previous years.
The letter emphasises the need for clarity on several key issues, such as the progress of a potential takeover and the club's financial stability if this transaction does not occur.
Supporters are also eager to learn about strategies for enhancing the football club's standing and operations.
The coalition of fan groups has requested a public response from Mr Wycherley and the board by 20th September.
This response should address six specific questions they outlined in their letter, including the confirmation and identity of the potential buyer and expected timescales for the takeover process.
The letter also urges Mr Wycherley to provide transparent answers that will reduce anxiety among supporters, highlighting the importance of unity between the club's board and its fans.
Relegation is a fear amongst fans who, reflecting on past statements from Mr Wycherley, seek assurance and hope for the club’s future.
As the deadline approaches, supporters hope for honest and clear communication that can reinstate their confidence in the club’s leadership and future prosperity.
