In autumn 2008, owner Stuart Lovering announced his intention to sell the club once a new investor or administrative team could be found.

In November, he put a price of £ 195, 000 on the club, but failed to attract a buyer.

A December crisis meeting saw supporters come forward to fund and run the first team while Lovering continued to focus on finding a new owner.

In early 2010, the club appeared on the verge of being sold, when Shamrock Coaches owner Clayton Jones appeared to strike a deal with Lovering.

However, this fell through at the eleventh hour.

Former Wales international John Hartson had been linked to the club as a possible director of football should the sale go through.
