Blair Smith, a member of the club’s executive, said: “We’re seeing this as an opportunity to learn, address problems and come back stronger.

“We’ll approach next season as if we’re a Premier League team in the wrong league, make some changes to playing staff and infrastructure, retain all of our coaching staff, and make the most of the savings in travel costs that being in a more local league will mean.”
