The sports club at the heart of NCH scandal

Today the Nottingham Post has claimed it has new evidence relating to the Nottingham City Homes scandal. The article suggests that members of a sports club whose name they refuse to reveal may have benefitted from preferential treatment in the allocation of houses. I'm not so coy as the Post and I'd suggest that the sports club in question is the West Indian Cavaliers Cricket Club whose Honorary Secretary is the disgraced former director of operations of NCH, Tyron Browne.
Comments are no longer allowed on the Post article, because they were being used to identify the sports club in question.
The comments on this article reveal some interesting business dealings of the cricket club, including providing an unspecified company 'services worth £15,500 which was determined on an arms length basis'!
The Post story also reminded me of this story about squatters in the Arboretum who inadvertently found themselves squatting in a dodgy NCH property frequented by professional cricketers. They ended up being chased out by cricket bat wielding men, aided and abetted by the local constabulary.
Lets hope the Post get it together enough to actually reveal what they are so far only hinting at. The local police seem to be so in bed with the corrupt clique at the centre of the scandal that they are refusing to investigate.
