FANS EAGER FOR UPDATE ON GROUND SITUATION

Under normal circumstances Poppies fans would be celebrating reaching the summit of non-league football like there's no tomorrow. But due to the continued speculation about whether the team would even be allowed into Football League is casting a shadow over our on-pitch performances.

A number of optimistic souls believe that no news is good news, while most feel that the club's prolonged silence on the issue can only mean that there is no progress being made on the stadium issue.

Personally, I feel that however good or bad the situation is, the fans who pay the money to come and watch their team week after week deserve to know exactly what is going on at their club.

The board must know something that we don't, otherwise how would we be able to bring players of Gareth Seddon's calibre to Rockingham Road if we had no future?

POPPIES GO TOP

Another gritty Kettering performance which, for the most part, lacked a cutting edge but nevertheless delivered another priceless three points.

The team now find themselves in nose-bleed country at the top of the table, but none of us should be getting carried away just yet. In contrast to last season, no one team looks like they will win this league at a canter, and so constistancy will be the key.

That said, Kettering have been the model of consistancy so far, apart from the back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Burton Albion and Crawley Town. If we can keep nicking games 1-0 or 2-1 then we should be able to secure at least a play-off spot come May.

We all know how difficult this league is to get out of, and so I urge every Kettering Town fan to get fully behind the club and hopefully we will keep doing the business on the pitch.
