I am probably behind the pace on this but I thought the car park was owned by a Government agency. But like all our national assets I expect it has been sold on and someone in the inner circle stands to make a big profit on the developments that follows. It is a disgrace brought about by the Tories time and time again. As for our club we have obviously been side-lined and so the area around Sixfields becomes overnight more constricted. That won't bother our owners who stand to gain big time from the CDNL land. We the supporters are being ripped off and nothing is done to stop this.

I can’t beleive the current board haven’t purchased it
Surely it would bet beneficial for the club.
Maybe kelvin will enlighten us as to why he deems the athletics ground useful but not the actual away fans car park??
You Would be requured to use money in order to take control of the car parks. Chunks of Sixfields running track are free. |

The land was owned by English Partnerships, which became the Homes and Communities Agency....but that was actually replaced almost a year ago now by Homes England and the Regulator of Social Housing. Seeing as this land was never likely to be used for "homes" it was sold off, hence the intention to sell being posted well over a year ago. I'm struggling to see why it has changed "just before the holiday" though....... |

Thanks for the background information GPC but my point remains the same, that a Government agency has sold off land that was community land for profit and obviously to the detriment of the football club. Similarly, community land once held by our club under a 150 years lease and now owned by CDNL will be sold by our beloved owners at a big profit to them but there is likely to be little or nothing for the club and so its supporters. Shameful but the silence is deafening from those who purport to represent our interests.

Understand where you are coming from....but how far back do you go? How did the council come to obtain the land to build Sixfields on in the first place? The West Stand "VIP Car Park" was always under control of the club, but the gravel car parks have been used on, I guess, some sort of agreement, and we were always second best should a travelling funfair, a circus or suchlike want to rent them. Sad times, but just the way of the world I guess! Perhaps if it was up for sale for 400k then that was the time for the Football Club owners to step in and buy, then it would have been an asset for the football club. What next? The North gravel car park goes the same way if someone comes along and wants to build a retail outlet on it? |

The owners couldn't care less about the club, I am afraid, other than the profit they can make from it. The peasants need to rise up, raise a claret flag and oust them from the town boundaries. Unfortunately the peasants have been subverted by fear, hence Brexit.

Hold on. Loads of posters on here think that the owners should just pass the club on without recovering their investment to date and them the same individuals berate them for not spending another £400k. That sums up why the fans can never be considered sensible enough to run this club. Just buy it for Christ sake , its available. |

?? I didn't say they should just pass it on....in fact I said I think it would take a lot of money to shift them...and that was indeed based on their investment to date. Under the clubs control it (the car park) would have been a) an asset....and we don't have many of them! and b) a revenue stream. As it is now we don't have either a or b |

i'll say it first......
I can see sixfields being sold off and a new stadium built near the motorway / Kislingbury way somewhere
The more houses built around sixfields (Duston, Upton, Hunsbury etc) the more valuable the land around sixfields becomes. I mean sixfields businesses are almost always busy so will be demand for more.
That is what we should have done with the £10m loan plus help from the land sale.

Interesting theory....based on anything? Not saying that it doesn’t make sense, but it is a bit ‘left field’ |

If you have a house for sale and nobody buys it, spending thousands of pounds on extra land means you have to increase your asking price... Which nobody has been willing to pay in the first place.

Why do you think they built that new road from J16 to Weedon Bec.

To bypass Flore and Weedon? They had only been planning it for the last 50 years  |

Totally agree with Random, they should sell off every inch of the godforsaken land around Sixfields and bulldoze that pathetic stadium, it's cursed!
Build a spanker on Abington Park, great boozers a plenty again, happy daze.

They should just move in with the cricket club then the ground will be utilized 12 months of the year.
