Just a quick note. The police cannot take the blame in their lack of communication to the club.Until a person has been charged with an offence their identity and the nature of the investigation have to remain secret. We now have the spectre of human rights hanging over us and rightly or wrongly this is the current status quo that the police have to abide by.
Before you make any critisims please put yourself in the position of a person accused falsley of such a matter.
I am both police officer and stanley fan and the protection of children is paramount but it has to be done within the law and disclosure of the investigation to the club at any stage before charge would have rendered any subsequent charge and court proceedings useless.
How would that look to the alledged victims and their families ?
There is no easy solution or panacea in these cases so i would urge all parties to bide their time and let proceedings take their course, before idle gossip and media attention taint the case before proceedings begin.
