Does anyone think that the club knew about the pending arrests before the Wrexham game, and this was the reason we were so poor and unfocused?

Seriously - I've disobeyed orders there in not issuing you a life ban. Tread carefully. No room for idle conjecture regarding the alledged incident or the complainant.

But the Argus stated he was not just arrested but "accused" which is a different story. You can be arrested under suspicion of a crime without a charge ever being brought, which may be what has happened here (maybe not), but to say someone is accused of a crime means they have been charged.
So I would say this headline is very possibly inaccurate.

But are we allowed to query the accuracy of the Statement identifying the Accused, seeing as how quickly Tommy was cleared

We always have been with non league clubs. Look at games again FC United and Woking.
They were not aware in the slightest, Gus would not stand for it at all!

If you saw the post you would understand why it crossed the line.

No. Because you know nothing of that statement, so it would be nothing but idle speculation.

They ran the headline on the back of the original Police statement.
Six men were accused and brought in for questioning. None have been charged so far. One person has been dropped from the enquiries.

In a way. Although the headline actually states that Tommy has been ACCUSED of (a) sex assault. I don't believe that that has ever been the case and they worded it extremely badly. In fact I hope it's badly worded enough that Tommy can sue their arses off.

I saw the post & agree it was out of order.
I am not questioning the Victims statement.

This
and not just possibly, it was totally inaccurate. As far as any one knows no one has been accused, only arrested in connection with an alleged incident so the Argus exaggerated so the DO need to make a FULL apology to Tommy.

They were really awful though, they looked like a bunch of misfits playing their first match. They played as if there was a dark cloud over them, passes going astray all night, when passing is supposed to be our game.

I disagree with this. A person's arrest deprives them of their liberty for questioning and further inquiries because they are suspected of involvement in a crime. I do not know of any cases where witnesses are arrested. Witnesses are questioned without being arrested.

Given how quickly Elphick was acquitted of any wrong doing it would seem the arrest dragged him into the limelight by linking his name to the incident.
There was obviously no need for his name to be dragged into this affair given how quickly he was acquitted.
His name could have been kept out of it and still helped the Police with their enquiries imo.
