"It would be great to have as many of you as possible down for match days. I'll be learning on the job every day and it isn't going to happen overnight but I really think this football club has potential to go far.

"Lots of sponsorship opportunities will be available as well as help needed with certain aspects of the work. We will also be holding trial days if you think you could play for the club. I would love to give everyone the opportunity to get involved with this project in any way possible.

"This is not my club. This is OUR club."
