The following is a statement from our Chairman Patrick Chambers...

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that myself and Nicky will be
stepping down at the end of this season. We have treasured our time as
Chairman and Commercial Manager at this wonderful club.

In recent months we have found it a struggle running a club at this level
as volunteers with no full time staff for support. It does feel like we have squeezed the lemon with regards average crowd, bar and food spend along with other fund raising events and taken the club as far as we can.

This is a decision we have really wrestled with and now its been made,
it’s better to give ourselves and the club the 4 months to the end of the
season to hopefully find others that will take up a role with the club. I will
of course be available to advise any future chairman and help with a
smooth transition.

An opportunity has come up for us to take over at Gloucester City from
next season and its one we feel we need to take and test ourselves to
see if we can achieve success at the highest level. I have always been a
person who prefers to regret the things I have done, rather than those I
haven't and we both think the time is right for us as a couple to move on.

Our love for Hungerford Town and our extended crusader family will
never change and rest assured we will work tirelessly to leave the club in
the best position possible. We have half the season yet to play and I will
work with the gaffer to try and preserve our place in the NLS.

A big thank you to everyone for their support throughout our 4 seasons
with the club. It’s been an emotional ride with many highs and fantastic
memories. We both hope we can create more great memories between
now and the end of the season and a great escape and cup run are on
the wish list.

regards
Patrick Chambers & Nicky Chambers
