BBC reporter Marc Webber tweeted a reply to me saying that it will be discussed further on the returning Cobblers Show next Wednesday evening on Radio Northampton.
Not sure if KT will be on the show but I'm sure questions will have been asked by then.
I'm taking it as a positive as it's the first time a deadline (31/07/2020) has ever been mentioned regarding this.
Would make perfect sense for the work to commence whilst no fans are able to attend games.
Here's hoping!
I am going to wager a bet here (online of course) that agreement in principle is reached and that the day before the builders are due back on site, the UK goes into lockdown again!
