Firstly we dont need another new ground but greatly improve what we have as its unfit for purpose.
I have long come to the opinion Thomas and co wont be putting in a single penny but hope to make lots of money from selling the land they so badly need the council to give them in order to drop a few crumbs in the clubs coffers as the run to the hills...Yes worst case scenario but until he makes it clear as to why they are actully here I reserve the right to assume the worse.
Again to have a modicum of sustainable investment in building up the ground to an acceptable state to increase the clubs revenues can be acheivable in a number of ways which can be by using future incomes, naming rights, many different forms of sponsorship and the old getting investors on board that will actually invest, be they british chinese or any other place but willing investment parties.
All clubs need to build its infrastructure to allow them to maximise gate and match day food and beverage takings as well as corperate boxes and general match day sponsorship revenues.
Even you have to agree Northampton town in its current state is a long way from what you would realistically call its maximum potential, I would say we are currently only running at a third of what we could be due to being held back over the past 14 years and its this reason our club is struggling to compete and stay in league 1 as we just aren't equipped to survive.
Sorry Beds, this debate is proving to be a waste of time. Whilst rhetoric and opinion might fulfill its purpose for you on here, and nothing wrong with that by the way, it is just nonsense. Whether you build a stand or build a stadium it all requires finance and you haven’t come up with a single justification for it other than your opinion that it’s the right thing to do? The risk, as the list shows is that like Chester and Darlington you go out of business if you get it wrong? Despite this you continue on and on like a child in a toy shop with no thought, appreciation or care with regards to affordability. The issue I have with all this is that whatever you think of his motives, KT rescued the club from oblivion. Despite this you continually criticise the guy and use phrases like “killing the club”. Again as a supporter nothing really wrong with that, except every time you are given an honest question you haven’t even got the decency to justify your accusations against KT, continually evading giving a straight answer and continue on and on with the same delusional rehtoric like some sort of demented buffoon. The only thing you have proven is that your opinion on this subject is, in my opinion, baseless, irrelevant and childlike, sorry.
