Club Chairman Simon Lawrence has announced his intention to step down from the role at the end of the 2022/23 season.

Simon, a founder member of the Supporters Trust, has been chairman since the club entered supporter ownership and has led the club through some perilous times, not only ensuring the survival of the football club, but keeping it at Step 3 despite the many financial and logistical challenges of the past decade and a half.

Although Simon will be stepping down as club Chairman, he will remain a Director and will continue to be heavily involved with the club.

The current Chair of the Trust Board, Cyrus Cooper, has been asked and has agreed to succeed Simon at the end of this season, He will shadow Simon throughout this season and is looking forward to the challenge of taking the club forward over the coming years.
