WORCESTER City Supporters’ Trust are keen to put their “disagreements in the past” as they prepare to meet with the club’s board.

However, the trust have urged directors to provide “clarity” on City’s financial plight to shareholders and supporters before they hold talks.

The two groups have been at loggerheads over the future direction of the National League North strugglers with the trust pledging last August to go on “parallel tracks” in a bid to make themselves a “stronger organisation”.

But their secretary Rob Crean insisted the groups must make a “joint effort” to save the troubled club who have been in exile since 2013.

“It was never a case of us and them,” Crean said.

“We were concentrating on Perdiswell and the club would try to do the day-to-day running of it.

“We can’t do it individually. It has got to be a joint effort so we have got to put our disagreements in the past.

“We were disappointed that community ownership didn’t go forward but we are where we are so we have got to find some way of getting the club through this.”

Crean and fellow trust members Jem Pitt and Mike Davis resigned from the board in July after claiming they had been “deliberately excluded” from meetings.

The trust’s relationship with the club’s bosses then appeared to be in tatters when their plan to make City a Community Benefit Society was rejected in a shareholders’ vote.

It led to calls for chairman Anthony Hampson to quit from many disillusioned supporters and talk of creating a phoenix club.

But earlier this month the trust wrote to the club calling on them to “work together” to keep struggling City alive.

After Hampson and his members failed to respond a further attempt was made last weekend to “re-establish communication”.

And Crean revealed he was now in contact with City’s company secretary John Jordan and hoping to arrange a meeting in the coming days.

“We are both keen to get around the table to discuss things,” Crean said.

“I don’t think we will get that done before Saturday as we’re trying to get everyone’s availability so it will probably be next week.

“At least we can get the trust and the board of directors talking to each other which will be a great first step.”

Last Friday City’s chiefs confirmed they were “reviewing all aspects” of the cash-strapped club, including their “future viability”.

The board also said they were expecting to make a “significant loss” this year and had put all players up for transfer as they tried to “protect their remaining funds”.

However, Crean said the statement created “more questions than answers” and called on City’s board to provide more information to ease supporters’ concerns.

“We are urging the club to come out and say more,” he added.

“I would like to think the club are going to be forthcoming to fans and shareholders to get a better view of the position we are in because I think we are all a bit unsure.

"We need to get clarity on the situation so we can hopefully concentrate our minds to move things forward.”
