Swindon Town

FURTHER to press reports this morning relating to Swindon Borough Council and rent arrears, the board would like to make the following press statement.

We have met up with the Council with respect to a discussion on the rental arrears and have set out our position. In short, the club has expended material costs on repairs and maintenance of The County Ground to ensure that that it is in a fit condition so that we can host matches.

We are keen to come to some understanding with the Council on these arrears in light of these significant costs and are currently in active dialogue with them to agree on a pragmatic way forward given that, at heart, both parties have a mutuality of interest in ensuring a compromise is reached.
