Helping hand from Hearn

Dorchester Town chairman Shaun Hearn has offered a helping hand to
the Terras in their fight for survival.
The Magpies’ majority shareholder has revealed he would
let Weymouth utilise the Jewson Stadium facilities free of charge
for the remainder of the season.
The cash-strapped Terras are set to make an announcement on their
future tomorrow, with the threat of entering administration believed
to be extremely likely.
Hearn is keen to see his local rivals survive. He said: “I
have offered them the chance to play at our stadium for nothing
for the rest of the season.
“I would never want to see the two clubs merge but I see
no reason why we can’t share the facilities if it helps their
financial position.
“It’s not something I would want to do in the long-term
but I’m happy for it to happen in the short-term.”
Weymouth director Paul Cocks though, is confident the Terras will
continue to play at the Wessex Stadium.
He said: “It’s nice of Shaun to make that offer and
it is a genuine one, but I can’t see it happening. Even if
the club was to go into administration I doubt we would lose the
stadium.”
