Kettering Town say they are perplexed by reports they will not be allowed to take part in the Blue Square Premier play-offs even if they get there.
Reports centre on reassurances required by the Football League about the terms of the ground lease at Rockingham Road.
The club says attempts to meet concerns about "security of tenure" continue.
However, the Conference board has told the Poppies it needs clarification by Wednesday that they are eligible to play in the Football League.
On the field, Kettering continue their play-off bid on Tuesday when they face Barrow, with seven points to make up on fifth-placed Kidderminster before any of the debate about eligibility becomes relevant.
