We have received an email today from Kettering Town FC of a desperate plea for help, which you may have seen elsewhere on the web today.
The email is asking for people to sign a petition, raise publicity by spreading the word by email, forums, facebook, twitter, etc and lastly to apply pressure to the company (valued at £60m) to pay the money they owe.
The email they have sent reads as follows:-
Kettering Town FC have still not received over £200,000 in outstanding sponsorship from DRC Locums – overdue since last year.
As a result our players and suppliers have not been paid and many people are being evicted from their homes. The club faces a winding up petition on 6th February and after 140yrs history the club could be liquidated.
If you have the opportunity please:
1. Sign the online petition urging DRC Locums to make payment:

and/or
2. Forward this email to your friends, work colleagues and other football lovers and/or
3. Post a thread on your fans forum and/or
4. Paste to facebook/twitter
5. Call DRC Locums on 01908 545999 and ask why a £60m company is not paying their debt
Many thanks in advance for your assistance. It may help save our club.
