PROPOSALS to “save Worcester City Football Club” look set to be put forward at a general meeting in the next three months.

Rich Widdowson says Worcester City Supporters' Trust will organise the meeting to vote on proposed changes to the club’s constitution.

Widdowson said the trust contacted City’s board of directors on May 20 to officially request a general meeting but had not heard back this afternoon.

Three weeks have elapsed since the notice was served by shareholders.

The club’s constitution allows the trust to set a date for the meeting in the next three months and contact all shareholders at City’s expense.

“It’s a little disappointing we have not heard anything back from the board about a date for a meeting,” said Widdowson.

“We put in our request on May 20 and the club, through their solicitor, acknowledged they had received the letter.

“But the club have not spoken to me about it — the only indication from them is what I have read in the Worcester News.

“As a trust, we are now planning to proceed as outlined in the club constitution and we can hold the meeting.

“We will pick a date in the next three months, notify the shareholders and it will be at the club’s expense.”

Widdowson believes a change in ownership model will keep City, who have about £530,000 left in the bank, alive.

Proposed amendments to the club’s constitution include the removal of a restriction on anyone owning more than one per cent of the company and allowing current shareholders to gift their shares to the trust.

Widdowson explained: “What we are proposing is to change the constitution of the club, which dates back to 1928, and is about how the club are run in the future.

“It is not about which people are on the board to run the club, it’s what we think is best to save the club.

“The share capital of City stands at £159,703 and, as the constitution states, the maximum shares any one person can hold are 3,000.

“We are proposing there will be one membership one vote. It’s up to the shareholders to decide what the club does but the trust believe what they are putting forward is the best idea to save the club.”
