Vice Chairman Steve Hobson said, 'Rather disappointingly we have received no applications for this role. We are a very well run club that is solvent. We have had three very successful years of late under the stewardship of Chairman Terry Hollis. We are playing a role in building our community capacity and are an attractive proposition to business wanting to promote their company and reach out to the community through corporate social responsibility.
The final piece in the jigsaw is to improve our commercial engagement in order to provide our management team with increased resources to 'carry us over the line' to promotion'
