The Wycombe Wanderers Trust board meet on Thursday night to discuss who will replace the departed David Roberton and Don Woodward.

Roberton resigned his position on both boards last Friday, leaving one vacancy on the football club board and two on the Trust board following Woodward’s resignation in May.

The mandate for the Trust board is to have 11 members but presently just nine are in place – Dale Jenkins, James Sumner, Mark Burrell, John Derben, David Cook, Alan Cecil, Colin Treacher, Garry Heath and Trevor Stroud.

As well as discussing who will fill the aforementioned pair’s positions, the meeting will be used to discuss changes to the structure of both boards as well as that of the Frank Adams Legacy Limited, on which Cecil is the only current board member together with chairman Heath.

Presently, chairman Andrew Howard and Cook make up the football club board.

Chairman of the Trust Trevor Stroud stated that while Trust members would usually vote to elect prospective candidates onto the board, because the resignations were tendered before the end of their terms the Trust are free to co-opt two members of their choosing onto the board.

As soon as the Trust have made the relevant changes and appointments, Stroud will then call a member’s meeting, which is likely to take place in early July, to formally announce the new board members and structures.

Whoever is appointed to the Trust board will then have to put themselves up for election at the AGM, which will take place later this year in November.

Stroud also indicated that those candidates appointed to the respective boards will have specific parts of the club to deal with such as stadium management, finance, commercial and marketing, and health and safety governance.

“The other thing we’re trying to do, from a Trust and a football club point of view, is to make sure these appointments are based around roles and what these people will actually be contributing,” he said.

“That will be another point of difference. Where, historically, someone might have gone from the Trust board onto the football club board with an undefined role, going forward Andrew (Howard) is very much someone who likes people to take responsibility for supporting particular parts of the business.”
