Challenged By Unprecedented Times

Like all sports clubs up and down the country and the situation surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Gainsborough Trinity is certainly being challenged by the unprecedented times. The club has had no income since our last home fixture, against Radcliffe FC on Tuesday 3rd March and will likely have no further income forthcoming, in the foreseeable future. Wages were paid in full last week, but in the absence of any additional income, we see no alternative than to suspend all wages to employees, forthwith.

Details

Both the government and league governing body have announced schemes to assist with the effects of this pandemic, however as of the time of writing, none of these schemes are operational. Without a shadow of doubt, the football club will pursue each funding initiative as it becomes operational and hope to pay the outstanding wages, if and when the funds materialise.

The club's Board of Directors will do whatever it takes to ensure the future health and survival of our proud football club, Gainsborough Trinity. The Northern Premier League has been advised of these measures. We will of course endeavour to keep you, our loyal supporters fully in the picture as 2019/20 ends and uncertainty surrounds what 2020/21 may look like for the Holy Blues.

Take care of yourselves and your families and we will see you, out the other side.

Best regards,
Richard Kane
Chairman
