FORMER York City chairman John Batchelor is refusing to pay the £42,000 he promised the club last season because of an alleged breach in confidentiality, writes Dave Flett.
As part of the agreement to bring the club out of administration, Batchelor pledged to stagger payments over the last five months of the Minstermen's relegation campaign.
The money was related to possible compensation costs for Batchelor's half-price season-ticket scheme but he reneged on the deal and now claims the club has breached a confidentiality clause.
Motor-racing chief Batchelor said: "I can't really put myself in a position where I make a comment because then I would be in breach of confidentiality as well."
Current City chairman Steve Beck also said he was unable to comment on the matter.
