WREXHAM are the only National League club that has been excluded from the Sports Winter Survival Package because of the Reds' geographic position in Wales.

There is uncertainty over the 2020-21 campaign because of the coronavirus pandemic and clubs have been told that future funding to get them through the crisis will be issued in the form of loans and not grants.

Member clubs were asked to consider three possible options at last week's National League meeting - 1. the operation of a Club Loan process through Sport England; 2. The operation of a National League loan to be distributed to each club; and 3. A suspension of 2020/21 National League season

Talks have continued but Wrexham Supporters Trust revealed that The Racecourse outfit are the only one of of 66 clubs in the three National League divisions that will be excluded from further funding due to location.

A statement read: "Wrexham Supporters Trust is disappointed to inform supporters that Wrexham AFC has been excluded from the Sports Winter Survival Package (SWSP) for National League clubs, owing to our location in Wales.

"This news was revealed in a response to a question posed by club officials at a meeting with fellow National League Clubs today.

"The result means that Wrexham AFC are the only club out of 66 fellow National League members to be excluded from further funding.

"At a meeting last week, the National League presented member clubs with three options: Loans to clubs from the SWSP; Loan to the National League from the SWSP, to be distributed to clubs as grants with reduced central funding in subsequent seasons; Pause the season until funding issues have been resolved.

"As previously communicated, the Wrexham Supporters Trust board decided on the second option outlined above at a meeting last week. Unfortunately, we have been advised by the National League that this is no longer an option for us.

"In the invite to today’s meeting the National League advised that member clubs will be issued with resolutions to consider the outcome of the current 2020/21 season now that funding options have been confirmed. We will not receive the full detail of the resolution until Monday, after which we will update supporters.

"Following an emergency board meeting tonight, the position of Wrexham Supporters Trust is that we will abstain from voting on this resolution. It is not relevant to Wrexham AFC due to us being the only club excluded from funding. We have previously voted on every resolution that has been presented to us."
