STAINES TOWN are looking for new owners with chairman Matthew Boon feeling the time has come for someone with renewed enthusiasm to take the Bostik Premier club forward.

Boon – who took over the helm in 2011 following the death of his father Alan, and is the sole benefactor – has been around Staines since childhood but wants to concentrate on his mechanical electrical contractor business and, most importantly, family.

The Swans are on the look-out for potential suitors interested in taking on the completely debt-free club, who are currently pushing for promotion back to the National League South.

“I’ve been here since I was a kid,” Boon told The NLP. “I’m 47 years old, my dad was involved in the club for 40 years. I married my wife here, so it’s part of my life. My sister looked after the finances, and still has heavy involvement, so does my wife Amanda. She looks after everything on accounts.
