David Nelson. club secretary said the news had come as a blow but added that it was out of their control.

“It’s hugely disappointing for our members and for the town as a whole as there is a lot of interest and anticipation in the club’s move.

“However we can’t be given an operating licence until such time that the building warrants are signed off and that won’t be until the contractors have finished the work.”

Club officials have been inundated with requests and enquiries from the general public about the grand opening night, which had already seen the club offer 400 free tickets to existing members.

Mr Nelson said the club were now planning the opening night for either November 17 or 24 with a final confirmation on the revised date to be made in the next 48 hours.
