Following the step down of Chairman Ian Roberts and owner Geoff Moss from the board of the Wrexham Football Club the team is set to be sold. Stepping up as the new chairman of the board will be Robert Bickerton who has served in the past on the board of Macclesfield and Shrewsbury.
At one point it was thought that the club would be sold off by its parent club Wrexham Village Ltd but decide to keep the Racecourse Ground stadium. However, now Van Morton Investments is now slated to purchase the facilities and grounds at a coming date.
There is still no word of how the sale of the grounds will have a permanent impact on the Blues Square Premier partners or what the Crusaders rugby league club will do now that it is sold given the fact that the rugby team practices at the grounds as well.
The North Wales club released a statement that announced the sale of the team and then later the ability to purchase the grounds and the training area at a later date. The announcement also said that as a result of the decision to sell the team Robert Bickerton was chosen to take on the task of chairman of the board and that the board will also have a new director in Tony Allen who is responsible for running the football club as its chief executive.
Tony Allen originally went into administration working with Notts County and in the past has also been the secretary of Chester City, Wigan Athletic, and Port Vale. Van Morton Investments on the other hand is a new firm that is hoping to help attract funding to the team.
