Staines Town FC Club Statement …
by Keith Tunnicliffe


Dear Supporters, many would have read an article within the non-league paper today with regard to the club being effectively for sale.

After 7 years as chairman and sole benefactor I feel that I have taken the club as far as I can with the resources I have available to me.

As most people circumstances change, therefore to give the club the very best chance I feel that the current position the club currently sits in the league and with the time remaining for the current season it was the best time to open discussion to see who may see the clubs potential.

In March 2015 I appealed within the local paper for assistance as I was finding it difficult alone to sustain the clubs position , but received no response, this is why we thought it best to openly appeal within the non league paper.

Ken and I have been working hard behind the scenes with a number of people and we are hopeful that an agreement can be made to allow the club to realise its full potential.

Please be advised that this season will continue to have the full support and the management and staff will continue to push for the highest position it can.

Rest assured I only have the best interests of Staines Town Football Club at heart and will continue at all costs to do the best for its future.

Kind Regards Matt Boon.


So obviously a lot of uncertainty now within the club and what do we expect from any prospective new owners? One things for sure if a Glenn Tamplin mark 2 wants to take the club over then he can take a running jump as we don’t need those types here. We need someone with the clubs best interests at heart not some Essex wide boy type using us as a play thing and risk us going bust once he’s had his fun and games.

We need to get this forum up and running again as Twitter doesn’t really cut it as a fans forum for exchanging opinions so anyone calling themselves fans of the club need to start getting the community spirit within the club back to what it was in the past. Opinions pls....
