On Kettering:

BBC story: "it's not definite"

But the club may not be allowed to compete in the play-offs anyway as they only have a three-year lease left on their Rockingham Road home.
Clubs need a lease of more than 10 years, or their own ground, in order to be eligible for promotion.
Manager Harper ... "All I've been told is that it's unlikely we would be allowed in the play-offs due to the ground situation, but it's not definite."

Northants Evening Telegraph: "Harper is staying hopeful that it will change."

The current lack of a 10-year lease on Rockingham Road means they won't be eligible for promotion to the Football League, although Harper is staying hopeful that it will change.
