You have made a big assumption that anybody who is elected to the Trust Board has access to members personal data. There will be somebody on the Board with Data Protection responsibilities and access to data will be limited to those that need to use the data. That is a GDPR requirement.
I said I beleived that anybody working with vulnerable people is best CRB checked. But the Trust will have a Safeguarding Policy and that is the framework for the Trust Board to work with. I doubt the majority of the Trust Board do any work with vulnerable people in the way you perceive it. This isn't the same as football school training for example, or the youth team incidents of other clubs in the past.
So as somebody that is a Board Director, completely understands GDPR and CRB, I stand by what I said. Thanks for hijacking a thread about Morecambe to continually bash the Trust over the head. As you said - you are not even a member. Let it go. |

We can only hope that Morecambe get this 11th hour deal over the line and that they start playing fixtures next week - both for their fans and the integrity of the league. But they will struggle to pull a team together at this late stage even if a new owner throws cash at it.
As for the comments on data and CRB checks. I am not sure where you think it is a legal requirement TS. It is best practice where somebody is dealing with vulnerable people and children - but most of the Trust Board will not be. The football club board will be best advised to do the right background checks including CRB. But these checks cost money and I am not sure Trust subscriptions need to be thrown at that where the risk is minimal. Your examples of communications show a frustration with the Trust not communicating with members - it is only a data protection issue if they communicate with those that asked not to receive communications. And as you say, it doesn't affect those that are not members either. It will be interesting to see how the Trust re-invents itself this season. I don't even know if they have appointed somebody to Chair it as yet. |

I am sure he did 30+ minutes in the second half of the Grimsby friendly and did well enough. Of course he lacks senior experience - but as a back up keeper, somebody that has come through the Man Utd system, he will be fine. |

Got to feel sorry for their fans. Another shambles of financial governance and EFL approvals. The NL have no other option. Meanwhile the players now need to fend for themselves. Surely their contracts are null and void - either because they haven't been paid, or because they won't be starting the season. What a sh*t show 2 weeks ahead of the season.
Meanwhile our Boxing day and Good Friday fixture may well not exist. 44 games a real possibility. |

It was a penalty wasn't it? I am not too worried if defensively we kept a League Two team to a 1 nil scoreline and no goals conceded from open play or corners.
Jim now needs to decide how many of the trialists he wants to recruit |

I think the club response today was due to fans writing to the club since Saturday.
I am a bit surprised by the website response to be honest. I now accept that the "Test Event" was really a new descriptor for "Training". The stewards weren't trained and I suspect the club couldn't afford to train them seperately from a live event. There was no gender separation for searches. They did search kids. They did stop people bringing bags in initially - no suggestion that any steward knew there was a tagging system they could use. They did 100% searches so that the stewards were trained. The club should just have said that.
Did you find everything okay on Saturday? |

Given recent issues of fan hooliganism at your new club it is probably best that people in glass houses don't throw stones and you butt out [Post edited 22 Jul 13:39]

It was communicated - either at a forum or in one of the end of season updates. I can't remember which. I have used it too before and so it is disappointing to see the change. It was also one of the cheapest hospitality options in the league - and yet they couldn't fill it. They are focussing in the things that make a good return I guess.
As for wider comments about the redevelopment of the main stand - they also said they remain focussed on options to improve the use of Spotland 7 days a week and that means significant investment is needed. They also said that they had looked at building a new stadium away from Spotland but that option had been discounted. So their focus is now on investment in Spotland and would share plans with us when they had more to say.
If it's any consolation, Hornets also make a hospitality offer. I took a Hornets mad relative to a game last season and there was nobody else booked into hospitality. They can't fill it either. |

It's getting worse for Morecambe. Their owner promised a statement on Friday about a new owner and the payment of funds to allow the club to pay staff. But that announcement didn't happen and the staff haven't been paid, and the players are refusing to play now. Tomorrow's friendly against Barrow has been postponed. Will they start the season? Must be a real risk now. |

Sadly The Grapes has changed hands. Whilst it isn't too bad it is not as good as it was for food.
The Hare and Hounds in Bamford is a decent pub for beer and homemade pub grub. Fine dining it is not, but it is good value. |

I am sure they will. It was a complete shambles and none of the staff seemed to be trained. 85 year olds being searched. There is no way they will cope with a 2000+ attendance with this company in charge unless they change. As TVOS said, it's faster to get through airport security than it was Spotland today. The club will need to make some announcements. |

Enjoyable watch. Two completely different teams after about 55 minutes. Whatmuff was decent in goal and made a good save, although Grimsby didn't trouble us too much. The trialist keeper looked very very young...but made a save and got an assist for Rodney's goal. Overall we played some nice football and once the players gel they will step up the pace. |

Bit of a shambles. Everybody being searched regardless. If you have a bag they are turning you away. Stewards no idea what to do in that situation. Told one fella to take it back to his car. He told them he didn't have a car. Queues in the rain for a game with no more than 500 here. Lot to learn. |

Yes both are happening. The Town Hall is running family fund activities every day during the school holidays. Dale are running a family fun event on the 5 aside pitch. Savvy parents might get their kids to both. |

Fair enough. Hopefully Jim can find another Jack Kingdon from the development squads that we can loan in later in the season if needed. |
