Poppies' town centre shop to close
Kettering Town's club shop in the town's Newlands Centre is to close.
The KTFC Shop will shut down at the end of this month and the club has reached an agreement with Rydan Building & Construction to build a new club shop, ticket office and away toilets within the stadium, to be situated at the Rockingham Road end of the main stand.
Work will commence next week with the project expected to be complete by mid July.
In a statement explaining the decision, the club said: "The club believes that this move, in addition to making financial sense, will be more convenient for supporters, with entry to all competitive fixtures likely to be ticket only from next season.
"This change will improve our financial controls and increase speed of entry into the stadium. We expect to sell tickets in advance from the ticket office at the new shop.
"On a matchday,for the vast majority of games, tickets will be on sale, on the day, from the shop. There may, however, be some games when we will be directed to sell all tickets in advance."
The club are also set to announce the appointment of a new board of directors next week as well as their season ticket prices and provisional matchday prices.
And they are hoping to make an announcement about the long-term future of the club next month.
On the playing front, the statement revealed that chairman Imraan Ladak and boss Mark Cooper are now in advanced negotiations to sign a left-back, three midfielders and two strikers for the new Blue Square Premier campaign.
