Kettering Town have had their winding-up order rescinded at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The Poppies were appealing the decision to wind the club up over a debt of £58,000 owed to Rushden & Diamonds (2008) Ltd a month ago.
The winding-up order has been rescinded and is set to be dismissed in 28 days, subject to Kettering paying off the agreed amount with Rushden & Diamonds (2008) Ltd.
The club has had to pay more than it originally expected. However, supporters from around the world rallied round and along with the Poppies’ Supporters Trust raised £20,000 towards the costs.

However, in neighbouring Leicestershire, Hinckley United have been less fortunate. The Knitters were wound up in the High Court in Birmingham, a brief Twitter announcement informing fans that the club had ceased to exist.
The court action was brought by former club chairman Kevin Downes, trustee of the pension fund that owns the main stand at the club’s ground, following an unpaid rent bill. Talks were held over the weekend to see if administration rather than liquidation would be possible, but they were not successful.
