A statement from the club regarding the impending departure of Graham Jones and Hayden Dando reads: “We have to announce that we have come to the end of our journey at Hednesford Town Football Club. “Since we arrived in May 2020, we came in to ensure the club's continuation, and we have seen the club through some of the worst financial implicating times in modern history, including Coronavirus which not only forced closures upon us but also affected so many of our lives on a personal basis with the loss of loved ones. “We have also seen a cost-of-living crisis and a War between Ukraine and Russia, which again has had personal implications upon us all (including ourselves directly). “We are proud that since arriving we have implemented so many changes for good around the club, which has included a full restructure of our youth development system for the good of the club and the teams within it, a newly formed veterans setup who went on to win their league at the first time of asking, a restructure of our Ladies setup, and again saw our Ladies team promoted last season in their first year at open age. “Away from this, we have been able to facilitate the ground improvements all around the stadium, from new floodlights, a new PA system, a new club shop, nets installed behind the goals at the rear of the stadium, new signage all around the ground to name but a few things. “Therefore, we can confirm that the club (consisting of the playing side and related elements) will be gifted debt free, to anybody/organisation/consortium, which proves that they have the ability and resource to run a team/club at the level which we are. “For any enquiries for this please email sales@hednesfordtownfc.com with your details and your initial expression of interest, to why you feel you would be the correct person, people or organisation to continue the clubs running. “We also highlight the time importance to any enquiries to ensure a smooth continuation, so don’t delay in getting in touch for any serious enquiry.” With regards the stadium, Jones and Dando have decided not to complete the purchase which has been ongoing (due to coronavirus influencing factors). Therefore, the stadium is available to rent or to purchase and any serious enquiries should be sent to hednesfordtownfc1880@gmail.com for consideration and progression. There is also a potential option of a groundshare at another club for anyone who wishes to take over the football club only. Obviously, the ideal successor will take over both elements at the same time.
