Shrimps Trust air fans’ concerns in open letter to owners
The board of the Shrimps Trust at Morecambe have written to the club’s owners, Panjab Warriors, and the club’s chairman Kuljit Singh Momi, expressing their concern at the direction of the Lancashire club.
The open letter details a number of concerns relating to both on-pitch and off-pitch matters, with the trust claiming that promises made have not seen results delivered or communication with fans.
The new ownership group took over at the start of the season following a long campaign by fans to oust previous owner Jason Whittingham, who presided over their relegation from the EFL.
Supporters hoped that after this period of turmoil which saw club wages going unpaid, a gutting of the club’s playing staff, and their early fixtures in the National League suspended, that new ownership would steady the ship.
Now the club find themselves in the relegation places of the National League.
The trust, however, are concerned that promised recruitment, strengthened board governance and a lack of expertise in key positions haven’t been addressed, and following a fans’ forum in December there remain questions as to the direction the club are taking.
The trust said: “We hope these questions are answered as constructively as they are intended to be received… the wider fanbase need to hear direct from the club’s ownership, and the update provided needs to be as substantive and specific as possible. Only then can reasonable concerns be laid to rest.”
