Just how close are Kettering to going bust?

On one side we have players not being paid.  Money owed to Craw£ey, leading to a transfer embargo, so we can't even register youth players to represent the first team.

Bucket collections to give the players a few bob in travel expenses.

Groundsman not paid.  Rumours abounding that none of the club suppliers are being paid and that winding-up orders are being readied.

Is the rent being paid?  Will the first we know is when we turn up at Non Park to find the gates locked?

We're running low on players, and the thumpings are starting to arrive.

On the other side we have our owner, telling us that once an outstanding sponsorship contribution has been received we should be OK.  This is the same owner who during what may prove to be his last communication with us at Wicksteed Park, convinced us that the move to Non Park would solve all our problems.  We had new sponsors lined up.  We would attract better players.  Off field facilities would fund the club operations.  Amazingly he also suggested that players would cost us less, as they generally wanted more money to play at dilapidated Rockingham Road!

No time to run the club properly, but plenty of time
to f**k around with stupid photographs.

He told us that the annual budget of £750,000 was made up of £150,000 from us via gate receipts, with sponsorship, other "revenue streams", and the Ladak family providing the rest.  Well, with a thousand season tickets (his figure) sold before the kick-off at £200.00 a pop, we did our bit surely?  And another thing, the £200.00 season ticket, whilst being good value, wasn't the enormous bargain the club made it out to be.  Last season a terrace season ticket was £230.00, and even the £30.00 saving on last year's price was soon swallowed up by a £25.00 parking season ticket charge!

Is it our fault the club don't have the ability to secure sponsorship?  If this is the case surely it is down to the Ladak family to plug the shortfall THAT THEY HAVE CAUSED!  Does Imraan intend to finish the Club?  Are we going to lose another capable Manager because of his antics?  If someone else is looking to take on the Club is he standing in the way by trying to recoup some of the money he has spent here ?(obviously not this season)

As a club we have survived numerous chancers, fools and crooks masquerading as Chairmen.  Surely the most financially robust owner we have ever had isn't going to be the one to kill us for want of a few quid? 

He should step up, if not for himself, the club or the fans, at least to keep his online detractors quiet for five minutes.....
