How are you so certain of that RR?

Rest assured, if a general supporter had made public comments that were deemed as discriminatory, regardless of context, that individual would have received a one year stadium ban via a faceless threatening email (followed in quick succession by emails advertising hospitality deals.... that's Morecambe FC that) and accompanied by confirmation that the incident had been reported to the police and warned about future conduct. There would be no opportunity to explain the circumstances surrounding such comments, dispute the claims outright (which are not being disputed in this instance), apologise, appeal the clubs decision, or even convey their own version of events. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
I am not suggesting that this individual should be banned, merely highlighting inconsistencies in approach. I hope that going forwards when/if future incidents of this nature do occur, people are afforded the same treatment - and are at least invited to the club to explain themselves as there have been instances where the club has not been as evenhanded in my opinion.
Also worth highlighting the complete absence of commentary from the usual protagonists on here who would ordinarily have been casting stones - we've always known what way your bread is buttered.

Thanks to the hard work of the Trust this was overturned, as it simply did not happen. It left a life long fan in distress and having to even explain the situation to their employer.
