TNS grant investigation: New twist over board which went 'dormant'

A row over an alleged unpaid repayment grant from Shropshire-based The New Saints football club has taken another twist after it was revealed that the board the money was supposed to be paid to went 'dormant' in 2013.

Last week, following an investigation by private investigator Paul Wiseman, information surrounding an £80,000 grant to The New Saints in Oswestry was revealed.

Mr Wiseman, who was instructed by private clients to look into the matter, discovered a chain of emails regarding the grant which was agreed back in 2012.

He alleges the money was never paid back, and presented his findings to Oswestry Town Council, which has asked Shropshire Council for more information on the matter.

The money was for TNS to build extra seating to allow them to compete in European competitions - and the club has said it has met its "outputs and objectives".
