TOWN chief executive Pete Rowe has said television cameras will be present at forthcoming games and players will not be paid if they refuse to meet their contractual obligations.

He said: "If the PFA want to take industrial action over the television situation then we will be quite entitled to stop players pay.

"I have consulted the Football League in great detail about this matter.

"Obviously I hope it doesn't come to a strike situation but we have to be prepared."

Mr Rowe said fixtures would be fulfilled and a youth side would be put out if the PFA members refused to play.

Town PFA representative Mark Robinson said: "We will have to strike if the situation isn't resolved but we just have to hope the Premier League and the PFA can come to an agreement."

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore claims the planned players' strike is "unthinkable".

The Professional Footballers' Association have issued strike notices to all Premiership and Football League clubs warning that industrial action will take place the weekend after next. Talks on the dispute with the Premier League over television money broke down on Tuesday despite both sides offering compromise solutions.

But Scudamore insists the Premier League will pull out all the stops to ensure there is no strike action. "We have to do everything we can to stop the strike. We will have talks and obviously we will then reconsider our position to stop the strike," he said.

Scudamore added: "It is unthinkable that players are thinking about striking. It is unthinkable the public won't be able to watch televised football."
