Probably but......the SL AGM would be perfectly entitled to put up the 'no entry' signs if it fears KT subsequently going belly-up and leaving the division a club short. Or it could put them in a 23-club Div 1C.
If KT are placed in SLP, Maidenhead will stay in FC South.
Meanwhile, Rockingham Road is being asset-stripped.

Banbury last played Kettering in the league in 71-72. They had just one season in Div 1 North as it was then, winning the title in making their return to the Premier division. Banbury lost 1-2 at home and won 2-1 away on the last day of the season. Playing for Kettering that season was Banbury legend Tony Jacques who had made his way to them via Nuneaton who had signed him from Banbury in 1968. Ron Atkinson was the manager and played in the match at Banbury. Atkinson released Jacques in the summer and he returned to Banbury, joining up with Tony Foster who returned from his one-year stint at Tamworth.
So Kettering still won't be playing Corby, whose fans are already chortling. The clubs last met in league competition in that same season.
PS Kettering will start 10 points down
PPS Quote from Stourbridge fan on TK's forum: "That's one game at the War Memorial that I won't be going to, then. I have no desire to spend ninety minutes with the subhumans that support them."

Reports suggest that Kettering will remain full-time with a budget of £5,000 per week. They might be bust by Easter or even by Christmas but if not it'll be another case of the old, old story: get a CVA, pay a fraction of your debts, take a modest drop of two or three divisions and charge back up to the top again.

It should go to Leatherhead, 19th in ILP, but that league has already had its AGM and presumably decided on its line-ups. I suspect the worst that the SL AGM could do is make Kettering start in Div 1C and so reprieve Evesham.

Some Kettering fans are almost envious of Rushden & Diamonds. Their reasoning is that R&D FC was quickly put out of its misery and a new club set up to make a fresh start. KT FC is suffering a lingering death. But there is hope. A new club, plain Kettering FC, has been set up to provide a vehicle for a new KT FC when the plug is pulled. It is competing in the Northants Senior Youth League and playing its home games at Raunds. This is exactly the same route that AFC R&D took last season. Eyes have already turned towards Burton Latimer, a couple of miles south, where Burton Park Rangers play in UCL Div 1. A few KT fans have been a bit sniffy about the new venture but may soon be forced to change their minds and their allegiance.
Meanwhile, AFC R&D are second in UCL Div 1. They are based at Wellingborough, although they haven't had a home fixture since the opening day of the season when 784 watched them beat Thrapston. Attendances at their away fixtures have been 384, 280, 513 and 353, all this at clubs who get 50 on a good day. This Saturday, they 'travel' to Rushden Town's former ground in Hayden Road to play Rushden & Higham United, a club formed five years ago by the merger of Rushden Rangers (Northants Combination) and Higham Town (UCL1).

Could be the final nails being hammered in Kettering's coffin, just been on the Leamington site, who play them tomorrow, they rate the match as doubtful as Kettering are now down to eight players. Out of the ten that turned up on Saturday, one has since left and the other is injured, so things are not looking good.
