Hartlepool chair calls on clubs to ban Jeff Stelling from boardrooms as row escalates

Singh hits back at former Sky Sports presenter in dispute

Stelling resigned from honorary role in protest at Singh
The broadcaster Jeff Stelling’s dispute with Hartlepool United has escalated, with the chair, Raj Singh, writing to the other National League clubs asking them to ban the former Sky Sports presenter from their boardrooms.
Stelling resigned as honorary president of Hartlepool in May in protest at Singh’s handling of negotiations over the sale of the club, which Singh had put on the market more than two years earlier. Singh appears to have hit back by seeking to ensure that Stelling is denied hospitality at Hartlepool’s away matches, which begin at Yeovil on Saturday.
