7th tier club confirm decision to withdraw from their league and consider liquidation process

7th tier club Nuneaton Borough confirm the decision to withdraw from their league and consider the liquidation process.

They have announced they will be withdrawing from this season’s Southern League Premier Central, of which they had been sitting in 13th place with 34 points from 24 games played for the 2023/24 season.

The non league community have been left saddened by the news that the offer to purchase Liberty Way will not be considered, meaning Nuneaton are now considering the liquidation process.

NUNEATON STATEMENT:

Thursday 18th January, 2024;

We regret to announce that Nuneaton Borough FC will be withdrawing from this season’s Southern Central Premier League.

Despite the dedicated efforts of our sponsors and officials, the club faces insurmountable challenges in maintaining operations.

Our legal advisors have confirmed that the offer put forward to purchase Liberty Way will not be considered, and no new lease will be given to any entity.

Unfortunately, armed with this information our future investors have had to withdraw any future support.

Furthermore, without additional investment or new investors to provide financial support, the club is unable to continue trading.

In light of these circumstances, we are now considering the liquidation process.

This decision comes with a heavy heart, and we deeply appreciate the unwavering support from our loyal fans and the football community during this challenging time.

In accordance with League Rules, notice of resignation from Nuneaton Borough FC has been received, and will take immediate effect.

The League has been working closely with the Club over the last few months whilst they worked on a Club Survival Plan that complied with League Rules and Regulations.

However, events this week at the Club have unfortunately resulted in them making this decision.

The League is sad and disappointed to lose a Member Club in such circumstances and acknowledges the efforts of those at the Club in trying to resolve matters.

The records of the Club this season will be expunged next week and the League has no further statement to make at this time.
