SUPPORTERS of Maldon and Tiptree seem to have finally received some good news, with the club - which has been in turmoil since the summer - announcing new owners.

In a statement released via social media this morning, and entitled 'A New Chapter for Maldon & Tiptree FC,' the club explained: 'We are delighted to confirm the acquisition of Maldon & Tiptree FC by a new ownership group.

"We recognise that recent months have brought uncertainty for everyone connected with the club. Our focus now is firmly on the future: providing stability, supporting the people already doing great work here and building a club that our supporters and the wider Maldon and Tiptree communities can be proud of.

"On the pitch, we want to nurture the talent already within the club while creating opportunities for new talent to develop and flourish.

"Off the pitch, our ambition is just as important.

"This is a community football club, and we want supporters, families, local businesses and grassroots football to feel genuinely part of what we build.

"We are not arriving with promises of overnight transformation. We are here to listen, to work, and to build sustainably. This is a fresh chapter for Maldon & Tiptree FC — built together with the people who make this club what it is."

The Jammers Fan Association confirmed that they had already been in contact with the new owners, and added that "We look forward to receiving further information and working with the new owners to promote and improve the club."

Maldon are scheduled to host Whitehawk tomorrow (Saturday, 12 September) in their first League match since 22 August, albeit with a much changed side. Their last outing saw them defeated 6-1 by Cambridge City in the FA Cup last weekend.
