Newly promoted Billericay Town FC have been put up for sale by owner Steve Kent.   The double glazing businessman bought it from shipping businessman Rod Moore in 2004.  Kent and his wife Sharon have been popular owners at New Lodge.  He has brought financial stability to the club and bequeathed it a superb clubhouse.

The club is debt free, but Kent recently said that new investment would be needed if the playing budget is to be increased following last season's promotion.

Internet speculation suggests a price of around £3.5m, but that seems on the high side.

£3.5m too much for Billericay FC

Absolutely no way it's worth £3.5m, non-league clubs don't make any money! And, last time I was there the club looked like it was falling down...
