You bugger..The last skittle table I saw was in the Crown Weston around 1982..Id have no chance now, unless there's 6X beer.
I think I had better outline some of the activities on offer before I let you absorb the last few pages. I’ve got a day job too!
The lower concourse level, directly behind the existing north stand would contain a long but relatively narrow approx 50m x 5m multi-purpose sports hall, something for everyone in the local area.
Inside would house one full size bowling rink which when not in use covered with the purpose built floor to allow for a variety of activities, archery, the smaller version in darts, or with the goal in place a room for shooting practice. The take on Super Sam shoot out penalty competition is born! On match days the goal takes priority.
There would also be two full size snooker tables in their own area, you can’t be moving those around. Skittles, hell yes, this is Northamptonshire. There will be a claret baize pool table for use on the Upper Tier main concourse.
On entrance to the lower concourse there would be a reception foyer to assist with the booking and rental of these rooms and of course the Northampton “Clubhouse” would be the only place in town to watch major TV sports events, Euros, World Cup, even those dull Premier League games on at odd times. Where shall we meet to watch it? Won’t be a question any more.
Enjoy the game, 3 points and a walk around the north car park.
