Ah no, it's a good effort from the fans. No-one's disputing that.

But if the Club has insurance, which let's me right is surely just a basic thing a football Club should have unless they're below National North/South, then you'd not need to do it. A SS says, duty of care.

This is a corker, "We really are a club to be proud of - doing things the right way.". Obviously fucking not.

So do you think the players sign assuming there's insurance? If they agree to sign then they have to be prepared to deal with what might happen if they get a serious injury. Not really sure what your point is. Lincoln fan tells Woking fan that their club isn't being run properly. At least you tried. :fish::ffs::fl:

I'm not saying it isn't run properly, I was picking up the 'aren't the Club great' type comments when quite clearly you've left one of your best players hanging out to dry.

And yes, I think it'd be fair to assume as a player that you'd be insured against injury because it's a pretty standard and basic thing. Something so standard and basic that it probably isn't even thought about during negotiations. I don't know of any other Club at this level or above who don't insure players (Eastleigh Fan will probably be able to tell us, though...).

As I said in a previous post, I'd understand if lesser Clubs in North/South and below don't bother but not at this level.

I haven't seen it, hence the 'I don't know of...'.

I expect there are other clubs who do a similar thing, havent seen anything which suggests otherwise. Wasn't there a similar thing for JJ O'Donnell of Gateshead anyway?

No not really. In JJ's case the club and insurers looked after him for almost a year, it was only when he decided, against advice, to go for an unproven treatment that he had to look for alternative funding.

I thought O'Donnell's was because his contract was up and he wanted a specialist op. Stand to be corrected on that one.

For all I, and you, know, you may have some sort of set-up where you claim on an ad hoc basis (is that the correct terminology?) whereby you claim as and when anything happens so you're 'gambling' on having no serious injuries in a season. That's obviously different to having no insurance full stop.

Fair enough, thought it might have been a alternative treatment.

Yeah, that's exactly what's being described on our forum based on what's been said at fans forums in the past.

Under Wilkin we'd have lost the game last night 1-0 with one shot on target. God, what a breath of fresh air Gary Mills is. Dominic Vose - quality. Pleasantly suprised by Fyfield and Moke yesterday too.

The Eastleigh chairman has just donated £1400 to take us over 10k. Very nice gesture.

Are you going to be nice to them now?

It's probably so they can sign him when he's back from injury.

In all seriousness though, it is highly impressive from Mr Donald.

I'm unclear on how the insurance thing works in the Football League, is it the club who must sort it and do they get some financial help from the League? As Harry Arter says, whatever arrangements exist in the FL perhaps ought to apply to the National League.

While I can see the argument about bigger player budget v player insurance, can't see there's a problem with these sort of appeals, nobody is forced to chip in.

It wasn't an appeal anyway, thought of and organised by the fans entirely without any involvement of the club.

I think in the football league you are insured as part of membership of the PFA.

Thanks. It's one of those things I hadn't thought about until Scott Rendell's situation was publicised just assumed the players were insured.
