60-year-old Grainger was arrested by police on Tuesday and computer equipment, containing the club's membership database, was seized. The database was released to the club on Thursday and the club is now able to renew memberships. Any backlogs will be dealt with over the Bank Holiday.

Meanwhile, the club is playing down Grainger's arrest saying that it was a "personal matter for the individual concerned". They were quick to point out that Grainger was not arrested at the County Ground, as had been previously reported in the local press. The club say that the investigation "did not involve the club, only the computer used by Grainger during the course of his work".

Derbyshire police confirmed that "a 60-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an alleged computer-related crime. He has been released on police bail without charge pending further inquiries."
