Ladak has tried to resolve the ground problem for three years

Kettering Town chairman Imraan Ladak has admitted that there is a 'problem' with their lease at the A-Line Arena.

The Poppies deal is running out and they will need to act fast or face the possibility of demotion from the Blue Square Premier.

"In early 2007 we had correspondence with the FA and the Football Conference that our lease was acceptable," Ladak told BBC Radio Northampton.

"It now appears that there might be an issue with it."

Ladak added: "It's a bit of a complicated situation.

"My ideal solution is to obviously solve the ground issue permanently and then we don't need to worry about the length of lease but yes it is a problem.

"I think everyone knows how important it is that we solve it and we have lots of people working with us trying to resolve it and I'm really positive at the moment."
