KT has been back in the country for a good few weeks now but we haven't heard anything from him...
I'm not expecting anything from him until just prior to the April 30th deadline for season ticket refunds...
Then we can expect the standard Gareth Wiltshire video where KT explains how gutted he is that we've been relegated, but he believes we'll have a decent budget for league two, and fans can look forward to another exciting season...In the hope that fans will just accept & blindly donate/renew...
Think he'll be shocked by the amount of refunds that are requested & number of season tickets that are not renewed...

Interesting piece from Accy regarding 2021/22 season tickets... https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/news/2021/april/season-ticket-update/1 When will fans be allowed back into the stadiums?We are meeting regularly with EFL with the return of fans top of the agenda. The government’s roadmap will shape as to when fans will be able to return with the government’s ‘all restrictions lifted’ date of June 21st being the catalyst as to when the stadium gates will reopen. The EFL are currently looking at four different scenarios of 100%, 50%, 25% and 0% capacity being allowed back into stadiums. The Department of Public Health (DPH) will also have a say as to how many will be allowed back dependant on the local infection rates at that time. 2 When will Season Tickets go on sale?We are holding off release dates for Season 2021/22 season tickets until we have EFL and DPH confirmation of when and how many supporters will be allowed back into the Wham Stadium. We don’t want to be in the same position as we were in late September 2020 when the government stated we were allowed 1,000 season ticket holders into a stadium test event only to put the Covid restrictions back in place a few days prior to the event taking place.

Expect significant change in the line up tonight i would say .
Due to injuries or tactical? Can't imagine Mitchell being dropped (even though I don't rate him) as we've no proper fit back up... Can't see us blooding a young keeper in this, as it could potentially damage him for life, facing their potent strike force!

Honestly think they will batter us...they have assembled a class squad even after losing Toney (who they'll get another bunch of cash for as he's rumoured to be off to either Leeds or West Ham in the Summer for 35 million!!!) Our squad is simply nowhere near good enough for L1 & I can see a couple of red cards for us due to getting frustrated with how easy they will toy with us. Will be the most embarrassing derby defeat for many a year unfortunately... I just hope that some sort of planning behind the scenes is happening regarding next season, rather than the powers that be, acting surprised when the inevitable deserved relegation is finally confirmed. Still, unlike Posh, at least we'll have some elite supporters next season

Vastly different situations, Molesley started under a transfer embargo and only with youngsters to work with
What's your thoughts on a new gaffa ntfclad? You think we're still going down the non league route or will they just give it to Brady no matter what division we end up in?

Latest JB interview confirms BAS also out for the rest of the season... Still, at least KC signed him on a 2 year contract, so we can all look forward to watching him slip over again all next season  Now, where is Joe Nuttall, seeing as we're still paying him might as well get him in if he's finally recovered from the injury he had before we signed him

Well, the club haven't bothered to clarify the whole "elite supporter" statement, which was sent to all existing season ticket holders so I've requested a refund for the time being...
After being a season ticket holder since Sixfields opened, I don't want to be down the pecking order if restrictions come back into place, just because some one season wonder decided not to ask for a refund.
Everyone is entitled to donate, ask for a credit or refund...it's purely an individual decision
Personally, pretty sure I will still renew just before the deadline, providing the club clarify their "elite supporter" statement and there is clarity regarding Covid passport requirements to attend games.

I know that the trust have contacted the club on behalf of some disgruntled supporters & made them aware the whole "elite" supporter element is totally unacceptable & were expecting the club to make a statement clarifying this...this was over two weeks ago so I guess then club are not reconsidering anything from their original statement..absolutely disgraceful imo!

Trust emailed this to all members this evening... Dear Trust member, I attach a link to a season ticket charter from the Football Supporters' Association, which has been recently published to advise football fans of the clear principles all clubs should take into account when deciding the season ticket policy for 2021/22. https://thefsa.org.uk/news/ticket-tcs-whats-fair-for-2021-22 The Trust has shared the charter with Cobblers chief executive James Whiting, who assures us that NTFC will be bearing the points raised in mind when announcing their ticketing plans for next season.
We have represented those Trust members unhappy with the club's refunds/credits policy for 2020/21 tickets and urged the club to take individual cases into account, although by and large they appear to be sticking with their original thoughts around this.The public survey Football Conversation engagement results will be publicised at the end of the month although I can tell you, in line with the poll of Trust members, there would appear to be strong consensus on the need for greater sustainability, transparency and accountability of clubs and also the need for exploration of other crisis ownership models and infrastructure improvement at Sixfields. Our monthly board meetings will be held on Zoom for the foreseeable future - any member wishing to join a board meeting should email a request to board secretary Helen Hickman on ntfctrust1992@gmail.comBest wishes and up the Cobblers! Andy Andy Roberts Chairman
