Most likely cut and looking fine etc to ensure that Kettrin and Sadact can't use the excuse that the ground is not fit for purpose so give them a reason for non payment of the lease or try to cancel the lease, KC will not give them an easy out unless it suits him.

I think K*ttering have supplied additional cabins, all on a 'temporary' basis negating the need to apply for planning permission.

There used to be a massive 5-a-side tournament held at Nene Park in early May, with teams of all ages, from all over Europe competing. Could this be re-established at this venue ?

It needed massive resource to stage in the old RDFC days. Who would now supply the necessary manpower to make it viable?

I remember the portacabins (if you mean in the car-park area) but the tunnel must be new.

The "new" tunnel is from Nene Park

I wondered what was going on. When i came past Friday men we up ladders working on it. I always thought it was a stupid idea by KTFC trying to appease their fans by removing all things diamonds when all the road signs referred to The Diamond Centre.
