The capacity of 'just under 9,000' won't be enough if NTFC are at the top end of L1, never mind the Championship.

We've got to get there yet...

Surprised that no one has mentioned that the 'life time' sponsored names on seat backs are being removed and not replaced when the new seats are installed? Or have they and I have missed it?  Evil

He was in the Smoke with Ivan over last weekend?
9526  The Hotel End / Other Football & Sport / Re: Former Cobblers Exploits 2013/14 Season on: May 21, 2014, 18:50:50 pm
no he didn't all 3 goals credited to Nathan Redman

I saw that later, but Redmonds shot would have hit the corner flag before Berahino's deflection..the dodgy goals panel weren't asked for their decision

Patronising?
Agree that the bare figures divided like that do not look good value for money.  I would say that a comparison with Wembley and Colchester is not a fair one, the cost of the majority of things reduce on a sliding scale the more you buy.  How do you know to what standard (Rolls Royce or basic) and how much the boxes/function rooms are costing?
If it was my money, I would put it to tender to ensure that I got the best value for the money and not waste it.  I wouldn't think that DC has not spent it wisely.  I can't believe that he would spend more on something that he didn't have to.
What benefit would he gain?
Without evidence, be careful how any of you answer that one....  Wink

Alloa Athletic - 17 July

I believe that we are agreed that the stadium capacity is too small?
DC is unable to fund an increase himself.  He has procured a loan from the council to fund a re-development which must include certain bits and pieces outside of the football stadium operation.
With what he had left to spend on the stadium, he could have put all his eggs in the one basket and spent it all on seats hoping that the on field performances attract punters to fill those additional seats.
He has obviously assessed this and made a decision to divide the stadium development between executive boxes/function rooms etc.. to encourage 365/7 days a week income with the remainder to be spent on seats.
He has made that decision and the split between the two based on where he has the best chance of revenue income.  If it works and the additional income is put towards the team, the increased crowds will/should come. Then the North and South stands will be further developed to take advantage of that.  He couldn't g amble on increasing the seats based on once or twice them being used each season.
As I said at the start, I believe that we are all agreed that the current capacity is too small, but decisions had to be made to enable improvement on the field of play through additional finance.
With the limited funds he has, he has made the decision, bear with him. I really hope it comes off and by the start of the 2015-16 season we are playing in a stadium with better all year round facilities and a capacity that exceeds the 12,000 that most believe will satisfy our requirement.  Cool

Nor did the Eastleigh or Oxford fans...

Constable gone to Eastleigh, cross him off..
9534  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Doumbe Gone on: May 21, 2014, 14:05:50 pm
Didn't realise that he was/is 34, still the quickest central defender we had last season...

Played Rico for 70 minutes and then Bayo comes on?
9536  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Do you want Bayo back on: May 21, 2014, 10:56:44 am
I am NO because he would probably be expensive and we could get someone better with the money but....if he came at a more realistic price......
Start with Rico and either Sinclair or Toney then Bayo and the other replace them in the second half to retain the big/little mix.  That would be an option to keep the presuure on the opposition.  He is good at what he does but would be a helluver lot better if his BMI was less.  He would probably prolong his playing career as well.

If you were banned from using that "rolling eyes" emoticon you'd be ****ed, wouldn't you?

What, the Stephen Myler emoticon? I prefer the  Cool one myself...

He's one of our own....  Grin

Agree about Snedeker but like Toney and Moyo they will all be even better when they bulk up a bit...   Wink

You can see the East Stand in the background during yesterdays' Chris Hackett interview....  Tongue
