Shaw is banned again by Edgware

Mar 13 2008

EDGWARE Town have axed their match secretary Gavin Shaw for the second time this season - and this time there will be no going back.

Shaw was banned from the club after using abusive language to spectators during a match against AFC Sudbury back in October but, after apologising for his actions, was later reinstated to his post.

However, his recent heated criticism of Edgware players, management and officials in the wake of poor results has resulted in another ban, and this time it's for good.

Said Edgware secretary Paul Gregory: "After a vitriolic and unreasoned attack on the players, managers and officials of the club, Gavin Shaw has been removed from any capacity at the club and been banned from the White Lion again.

"This time there is no appeal."

In what can only be described as a laughable state of events, news of my 'banning' from Edgware Town FC has appeared in this weekslocal newspaper.

Harrow Observer and it's sister publications printed sensationalist banner headlines on their back page back in October upon my first 'banning' and true to form, Sports Editor John Comfort has printed a story in this weeks newspaper regarding my second 'banning'.

If Mr Comfort had the courtesy to contact myself for a statement the article would have had a more rounded view rather then a one sided view from Mr Gregory.

I shall no longer be buying the Harrow Observer or any of it's sister papers.

Regarding the quote "This time there is no appeal"

Mr Gregory, Mr Newing & Mr Batten.........

I WOULDN'T LOWER MYSELF!!!!
