A call has been made by a group of Cobblers fans asking the Supporters Trust board to step down.
This is on the back of a petition which was instigated last October but which, four months on, has still not been formally presented to the Trust.
The Trust has responded to the group of fans as follows:-
Statement
We make no apology for the actions we have taken to try and protect the old athletics track land from unsuitable development during the last five months and not knowing the final destination of the proceeds of sale.
And we don't think all board members should step down for working hard on a voluntary basis in the interests of safeguarding our football club.
After all, this is what the Trust has been about for the last 30 years.
We would simply say that the Trust's annual general meeting takes place on 23 February.
We are a democratic organisation and have long invited, and welcomed, fresh faces on the board.
So any interested Trust members should put their names forward and seek to make a difference while respecting the core values and mission of a Supporters Trust.
Remember, the Trust is not a Supporters Club. It is important to make the distinction as the two operate very differently.
We meet monthly and the officer roles can be very time consuming.
If an election for board positions is required, then Trust members can make a democratic choice as to who represents them.
We can't say fairer than that surely? If members want a change on the Trust board then so be it.
In closing, would you do us the courtesy of presenting your petition to the Supporters Trust? We think that is only fair.
And once again we extend the courtesy of inviting you all to our next board meeting. We look forward to meeting you.
