Fleet's players refused to warm up as usual ahead of Saturday's 4-2 home win over Wrexham until the club's owner Dr Abdulla Al-Humaidi signed a document confirming they would be paid.

On Tuesday, the club's managing director confirmed that the payment of wages as imminent.

We revealed on Wednesday that Fleet were set to be suspended from their training ground with an outstanding bill in the region of £30,000.

Midfielder Andy Drury spoke about the situation on the KM Football Podcast and on Wednesday the whole playing staff released a statement confirming that wages were still not paid and criticising the club's owner for the way they have been treated.

However, the club tweeted at 6.12pm on Wednesday evening that payment has now been made to the players and their March wages have been paid in full.
