Sadly due to the situation we find ourselves in with the ground, financial issues and the long-term uncertainty we are faced with, we feel we have had no choice but to make this decision

The decision has been incredibly difficult, when we appointed Liam and his team, our intentions were to get us back into the top half of the league and pushing for promotion over the next few years.

We have no doubt we would have built on that this year and given we finished last season with our best points total and highest position for some time showed that we were heading in the right direction.

But sadly we did not envisage that the issues at the ground would become worse and we are now faced with having half the ground shutdown.

Since we have found ourselves in this position we have been trying desperately to get support from the FA and the Council and whilst we are still in discussions with both respective parties, we don’t have any concrete answers that allows us to resolve our issues.

We would like to wish Liam and all his team all the very best for the near and distant future and thank them all for their support and effort over the last thirteen months
.
They have all shown true professionalism, dedication and integrity during some extremely testing times.

They will always be welcome at the club and leave us with our sincere thanks.

- Andy Pountney and The Board of Directors
