Slough Town Supporters Trust would like to state the main reasons leading to the decision not to field any candidates in Thursdays local Elections.

The trust has never wished to become political and the six candidates who stood last year did so solely for the purposes of raising public awareness of the club's plight, and providing the councillors and other candidates with full information. We feel that these aims were achieved. It appears that some progress has been made and that the club will no longer be treated as a political football.

We are told that all parties and councillors have agreed to work with the club and the trust in an effort to ultimately support the club's aim to find a secure home in the Borough. This is progress that we welcome and wish to support.
