Ownership Dispute at Farnborough
A dispute over who owns Farnborough Town has flared up in recent days.
Tony Theo beleives he has taken over from former chairman Vic Searle but Searle maintains he has passed his shares to Ron Higgins and Tony Tuberville.
Following discussions today between the parties a statement has been released:
Farnborough Town Football Club wish to advise supporters that following a stand off at the ground earlier today it has been agreed between Chairman Tony Theo, Ron Higgins and Tony Turberville that talks in respect of a possible compromise will continue, away from the ground, later today. In the meantime both parties are in agreement that Tony Theo remains as club Chairman and Dean Austin as Manager until discussions are completed. The club will make a further announcement on the situation at 10am tomorrow.
There is no suggestion that Saturday's game at Edgar Street, when Farnborough Town are the visitors, will be affected.
Meanwhile a fans' online petition "to let Higgins and Turberville know they are not wanted and to keep Tony Theo in charge." has been set up.
