Dear Members and Supporters,
Some of you may have seen a recent article regarding a previous volunteer with the club, Mr Guy Brew. We can confirm Mr Brew was placed under an FA ban in March 2019, at which time he stepped down from his role at the club.
Due to confidentiality laws regarding the investigation of police complaints there were no details provided to us regarding the reasons for the ban. The FA ban allowed him to attend matches, but not to be involved in any club administration, and this has been 100% implemented and upheld by the club.
Since that time there have been no updates or further information provided to us and, until the recent publication of the news article, we were not aware of the nature of this case or even that it was an ongoing matter. Despite this we upheld the ban as we had not been informed of any change.
We take the safeguarding of our supporters seriously and can state categorically that we dealt with this unpleasant matter completely and exactly as instructed by the Football Association.
