A
statement from the club reads as follows:
“Casuals
achieved its best position in the non-League Pyramid in 2021/22. However, the
backdrop to this success has been one of incredible challenges on the pitch -
matched only by challenges off the pitch.
“It
has therefore been very difficult to decide the future direction of the club -
whether this is to be to continue under current management, offer the club for acquisition
or to close the club down.
“All
clubs rely on the support of individuals, companies, volunteers and the local
authority - and especially fans and sponsors.
“The
generosity and commitment of all those associated with the club has made the
2021/22 season’s achievements all the more special.
“But
recent, current and foreseeable stresses that will be placed on all those
inputs (time and financial) has made it clear that despite careful stewardship
by the current management the ability to continue operating the club into next
season appears unsustainable.
“Therefore,
the club is exploring potential acquisition approaches before deciding the
ultimate future.
“We
know this will come as a huge disappointment to our fans”. |
