The Shrimps Trust say they are ‘frustrated and disappointed’ after the owner of Morecambe FC postponed a planned meeting with them for a second time.
Jason Whittingham was due to meet online with the Trust last night (Friday May 31), in a meeting that was rearranged from Tuesday, May 28.
On Thursday, Mr Whittingham asked for the meeting to be postponed until Tuesday, June 4.
The aim of the meeting was to seek answers and raise concerns about the ongoing financial issues at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium, and delays in the ongoing sale process of the club, which has been on the market since September, 2022.
In a statement, the Trust said: ‘’A meeting had initially been scheduled for Tuesday evening (28 May), but this was postponed until Friday (31 May) on the request of Jason.
‘’The day before the proposed meeting, Jason requested a further postponement until next Tuesday (4 June).
‘’In compromise, Jason agreed to provide written answers to fan's questions by close of play on Friday ahead of a virtual meeting on Tuesday.
‘’Unfortunately, Jason has not provided these written answers as of yet, and instead asked to delay them until Monday (3 June) afternoon in order for him to speak with club staff first.
‘’We remain frustrated in our attempts to arrange a meeting and are disappointed by the continued delay.
‘’The Shrimps Trust reiterates its calls for Jason to complete the sale of the club to a credible party with the utmost urgency.’’
The Shrimps Trust was founded in 2017, as a voice of the fanbase, during a period of uncertainty which ultimately resulted in the acquisition of Morecambe Football Club Limited by Bond Group Investments Limited.
In February, hundreds of Morecambe supporters staged a march, highlighting the club was for sale.
Bond Group Investments has owned Morecambe FC since 2018.
The English Football League (EFL) have to approve any prospective new owner of any club.
