So, let me get this straight..........Cousins can knock down the stadium, but can't touch the playing surface? So it seems. The land registry document would confirm. It was often mentioned in the past that the Nene Park pitch was protected by a covenant which probably goes back to the Irthlingborou...

Interesting that even after it was stated the site cannot be built on he's going ahead with the demolition. I find it also very intriguing that the demolition contractors are not being allowed on the pitch and I understand that this is due to the covenant in place for the pitch area. Obviously the ...

I wonder if he has actually contacted the owner directly to discuss this at all. Apparently so, a tweet this morning by Tom Pursglove. An update on Nene Park - a green light to meet! https://scontent.flhr3-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/16402992_722283787950436_6010912504551854574_o.jpg?o...

This would then open up the way to develop the site for use as 'grassroots facilities' and perhaps a home for our Club. Whilst I appreciate yo...

Fair play? He doesn't care about grassroots facilities, Rushden and Higham aren't in his constituency and Bone doesn't even like football so we are on a loser there.
