Buy a ticket; invest in Warrington


Warrington Town FC have recently appointed a new Chairman and Managing Director. The club which is flying high in the Evo-Stik league, has taken a decision to change roles and responsibilities whilst on the up. Frequently such decisions are only made in a downturn, giving the new management little room for manoeuvre.
Senior appointment concerns have been in the press recently, with the Co-op being held up for scrutiny. Looking at The Wire senior management they are certainly not short on business experience and the new senior roles are being occupied by people who have been working with the club for some time, so they know the operations well.  In addition they have a clear vision; progression to the Football League. To do this they will also need further investment.
Warrington as a whole should be firmly behind them.   Strong sports teams promote their home town and good sports people can make great ambassadors.  The Wolves are clear evidence of this. So whilst The Wire is currently only a small concern, they have large potential.  Additional supporters would help the club and in turn help Warrington with jobs and spending in the local economy.  Buy a ticket; invest in Warrington.
