Below is an official statement issued by the club.

Following a Directors meeting, we wish to announce that the club will not run a Youth team for the 2014/15 season. It was a unanimous decision by the four directors and was not taken lightly.

Chairman Mike Richardson added "We consulted widely in reaching our decision. There is no single factor that swayed the decision. Rather, it was a combination of multiple issues that led to the 4-0 vote."
