Gosport 11 Months Behind With Rent


Gosport Borough owe over £7,000 in unpaid rent to their local council, with the Southern Premier side 11 months behind with payments - according to the Portsmouth News.

Chris Ward, the council’s borough treasurer, told the site: "The club suggested a repayment plan involving two rental payments per month, starting in August. One would be its current rent and the other would go towards clearing its arrears. The council accepted this.

"No payments have been received.

"‘The council has no wish to deepen the club’s difficulties, but we can’t support it at the expense of council taxpayers."

The club, who are without a league win so far this season, said that there's no quick fix to their problems.

Chairman Iain Sellstrom said: "I have no intention of handing back the keys.

"I will do whatever I can to make this club survive, but I’m not a miracle worker.

"There is no quick fix – this process of repaying all our debts will probably take about five years to do. But we owe it to our fans and to the local community to make this work."
