Picked this up from Ploppynet, So have we been fed a load of Cods from certain people, of course it works well for KC and IL if we have to wait a year for our new club because momentum will be lost and people may drift from the idea of a Phoenix Club.
It would be gauling to find out that next season Kettrin AFC are playing in the UCL and we are spending a season trying to keep the people together.
I was told that the UCL are not prepared to accept an 'AFC R&DFC' or similar team into any of their divisions, including the reserve divisions for 2011/12.
This is exactly the same answer that K*ttering were given although I can confirm that K*ttering have made an approach to the UCL.
The secretary of the UCL said that I could quote him exactly in saying that 'No "Rushden & Diamonds" or "K*ttering Town" teams have been accepted to the UCL for 2011/12. Both sets of fans have approached the league and both sets of fans have been given exactly the same information - i.e. that they are too late for this season. The approach by K*ttering is documented in the AGM minutes. At all points of contact both sets of fans have been treated exactly the same.'
As per usual, this is forum rumours getting out of hand. The UCL have been very helpful towards us and are interested in speaking to us for 2012/13. I for one would like to thank them for their help and look forward to working with them at a later date.
Wonderful information, many thanks. If only others would both to issue such meaningful statements as well!
