SWINDON Supermarine supporters will not know the identity of their new chairman until the start of the new football season.

Steve Moore continues to hold talks with potential successors after announcing he was stepping down from the position at the end of Marine's successful survival fight last term.

Moore confirmed: "We're sitting down and talking to a few people so I'm still holding the fort for the moment.

"We want to make the right appointment and expect to make an announcement just before the start of the new season."

Moore, who has chaired the South Marston club for a decade, will remain on the Marine committee after his replacement is installed.
