https://www.ntfc.co.uk/news/2018/may/statement_240518/Chairman Kelvin Thomas has responded to the Northampton Borough Council statement:
Some of the key points:
1) If Northampton Borough Council state 'no lease issues have held up the process' why did the Council’s solicitors issue draft documentation to correct the position?
2) “Northampton Borough Council misleadingly says that we proposed the inclusion of further land which is not true. We have only wanted to deal with the area of the club land wrongly included in the CDNL lease. The Council’s own statement confirms CDNL and the club control all the land.
3) “We are more than happy for Northampton Borough Council to make this ‘suggested’ request public and show how it relates to the relevant Deed of Surrender. If they are unable to show this to us and the public, then we feel it would be appropriate for them to withdraw that statement.
4) “Frankly rather than to try and defend the indefensible we think it may be more appropriate for Northampton Borough Council to acknowledge that they could and should have dealt with matters more professionally.
5) “We have now made our position extremely clear in both our statements and we would ask and advise Northampton Borough Council that any information that they put in the public domain is both factual and correct, as our supporters and the people of Northampton deserve better.”
