He told the Guardian this week that the club was severely disappointed with the outcome of this week's full council meeting.

Labour councillor Simon Greaves forwarded a motion to "do everything possible to assist Worksop Town to find an acceptable long-term solution to its current problems."

But instead, council members voted through an amended version proposed by Coun Terry Yates, deputy leader of the council.

The amended motion said: "This council fully acknowledges the current difficulties of Worksop Town Football Club and will continue to do its utmost to assist the club in finding a long term solution, in accordance with the council's duties and responsibilities."

But Mr Hepworth claimed the council is not doing enough.

"I'm really disappointed with the council's response to the motion," he said."

"I came away from Tuesday's meeting angry and frustrated."

The chairman contrasted the council's inactivity with the support the club had received from Notts County Council.

"The county council has been very pro-active, in fact they approached us and I've got a meeting scheduled with them," he said.

"After Coun Greaves' motion was tabled, it seemed to turn into a political debate, despite us being led to believe we had cross-party support."

"The council has never come out and openly backed us since the lockout, and neither have they offered us help with relocating back to Worksop."

"They've done nothing since we were locked out," he added.

It was decided at Tuesday's meeting that council chief executive David Hunter will meet with club officials to discuss what the council can do to help.

Coun Greaves condemned the council for 'watering down' his resolution.

He told the Guardian: "The truth was laid bare during the course of debate that the council doesn't want to help Worksop Town at all, despite having the resources and facilities to do so."

"The council leadership clearly have a Scrooge-like mentality, and should be utterly ashamed of themselves for their clear failure to help our town's local club during these difficult times."

Coun Keith Isard raised concerns at the meeting over the possibility of giving financial support to Worksop Town FC.

He said: "The amendment has been carefully worded, but I don't think the council can afford to open one of our cheque books."

Mr Hepworth however, says the club is not looking for money.

"We have never asked for financial help, we just want to feel they support us," he said.

Council leader Mike Quigley refused to comment on the matter before the Guardian went to print.
