   Ken Pottinger, who was expelled from the club after launching a campaign to keep it running, said: " The loss of these nine squash courts would be a disaster for national and international squash and the revitalised development of the game as one of the UK's top sports." He added: " We are asking Islington Council to consider acquiring this facility under compulsory purchase orders to ensure that the built facility - unique in offering nine squash courts in a central London venue - is not lost to Islington." The Lamb's Action Team, which represents the club's 1,300 members, has created a business plan which it claims demonstrates how it can make a viable profit from keeping the club open seven days a week. Mr Pottinger said: " The current operator has a short-term lease on the building which has been bought by a developer for an entirely pedestrian block of flats and offices."
