LOYAL, lifetime Wrexham soccer supporter, Kenny Pemberton, of Clarbeston Road, is at the centre of a major national football controversy.

Kenny, and fellow fan, Lindsay Jones, have recently handed over, to North Wales Police, secret audio tapes allegedly of Dragons' owner Alex Hamilton and former chairman Mark Guterman.

Forty-two-year-old Mr Pemberton has been holding meetings with other, very concerned, Wrexham fans at his Pembrokeshire home since the Dragons went into administration on December 3rd, 2004.

Their main concerns have been about a number of activities at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.

But Mr Guterman has taken out injunctions against Mr Pemberton, Lindsay Jones, and the press to stop them revealing the contents of the tapes.

However, as the two supporters prepared to fight the gagging order at Liverpool High Court, the police swooped and seized the tapes.

These are now the subject of an investigation by detective officers in Wrexham. The battle to overturn the injunction was adjourned until May 27th while the recordings are investigated and a decision is made over whether to charge anyone.

Solicitor Luke Smith, of Lowless and Lowless, Haverfordwest, released a statement on behalf of his clients and said: "The hearing to decide whether the interim injunction should be lifted has been adjourned until May 27th.

"In the meantime, the North Wales police are to carry out a criminal investigation in relation to the tapes "Neither Ken Pemberton nor Lindsay Jones is the subject of this investigation. "Ken Pemberton and Lindsay Jones will be contesting the injunction to ensure that all the important information relating to the club is in the public domain."

English FA officials have already deducted Wrexham the mandatory ten points for going into administration - and this could lead to the club's relegation to League Two next season.

Although the club won the LDV trophy earlier this month, they could still face going out of business.
