Harlow Town FC Exits Administration After Takeover
20 Apr
Summary
- Two businesses have completed a takeover of Harlow Town Football Club.
- The club has officially exited administration following the takeover.
- Harlow Town FC was formed in 1879 and once reached the FA Cup fourth round.
Harlow Town Football Club has emerged from administration following a successful takeover by two businesses, Melody Media and PSM Pension Scheme. This development, announced in a club statement, marks a significant turning point after a period of financial difficulty.
The club entered administration earlier this year, leading to a concerning situation for its operations. Despite the challenges, the team continued to compete in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division. A 10-point deduction was imposed by the league due to the administration status.
Founded in 1879, Harlow Town FC has a rich history, including a memorable FA Cup run in the 1979-80 season where they famously beat Leicester City. The club statement thanked all involved for their support during the difficult period and expressed optimism for the future under new ownership.
With one game remaining, the team is currently positioned fifth from the bottom but is on track to avoid relegation. The new owners aim to bring renewed excitement to the supporters and the local community for the upcoming season.
