Current chairman Simon Bullard is stepping down at the end of the season.

A club statement revealed: “We have a vacancy for a Chairperson.
“We can confirm that the Club (consisting of the playing side & related elements) will be gifted debt free, to anybody/organisation/consortium, which proves that they have the ability and resource/finances to run a team/club at the level which we are.”
Bullard reportedly first joined AFC Dunstable in 1991 as a player, and also spent a short time as manager, before taking over as chairman in 1994.
In an emotional statement, Bullard revealed: “Leaving the club has been a huge decision, but it’s one I have had to make for me and my family.
