I know Beds keeps going on about adding capacity and the amount of money we could be losing out on....what he seems to be forgetting is that the money needed to expand capacity and install boxes etc still needs to be spent.
If we are £5.5m ‘in debt’ already, he seems to be advocating spending another £3m now on top of that in the hope that it will repay itself over time.
How long would it take to repay itself? Years and years....I can see why KT is doing nothing at the moment either, because it’s not financially worthwhile in the short term.....
Not sticking up for him, the stand and boxes should have been done and finished by now, as all we have at the moment is £5.5m of directors loans and a half empty shell of a stand to show for it.
The ‘promises’ that were made at the beginning were not kept, however now that particular ship has sailed. So we are stuck in the position where nothing is happening. Hopefully we are breaking even, the loan account is not growing any further, and we are having a modicum of success on the pitch.
Northampton town is 125 years old and it will be around in another 125 years, so shall we wait until 2150 to have a challenge on league 1? When do we decide the Cobblers deserve a chance to step out of the Posh's shaddow?
If being run as a club devoid of ambition, how can we expect to build up and maintain the future support base?
Another thought, we all admire the work of Chairman of Accrington Stanley and how he works a tiny club to extract every penny that is on offer, how do you think he'd mix things up if he were the Chairman of Northampton with 5 times more of everything at his disposal?
My guess would be Championship football with regular 12000 gates.
