Be quicker to build a new ground

Never going to happen in our lifetime - but a cohesive plan between NTFC (using some of the profits from the Sixfields land), the Saints and a progressive WNC could see a 25k stadium the whole town was proud of completed in 3 years.

I would sort of agree (accept the ACV, how any fan can support putting a warehouse over half OUR land is beyond me - certainly not without an absolute clear and cast iron agreement that the income from that land DIRECTLY benefits NTFC)

But very convenient to forget that 1. our owners used owning the football club to get the info / position to buy it in the first place despite the understanding that NBC were going to buy it from the administrator)

and 2. Our owners put the land into NTFC and are supposedly the Worlds worst land grabbers therefore we should be demanding that the club clearly benefits

Otherwise please sign over 1/4 of your land to me as land and future possibilities are of no concern to you. Thanks  Grin

For those who think KT/DB will finish the East stand, let alone build the warehouses themselves, let alone then put that income into the club, please consider this.....

In the height of the Trust battle KT held an open forum (attending by a max of 25 fans) and produced a PDF presentation attacking the Trust and it's board.

Needing fan support and to show that we are moving forward he announced they had signed HOT agreement with Moulton College for a 15 year old lease on a 3000 sq ft building.

Much fanfare was made of this - best ever training facilities, coaches offices, meeting space for tactics etc etc. Indeed on a Trust zoom meeting with some fans, one proudly announced how KT does have our best interests and to look at the BIG investments he is making in our training facilities. 1-0 to KT.

Now it almost SEVEN months since then and following up with Tom Cliffe on progress, in a recent video Tom said that is was held up in contractual stage !!!! FFS 8 months on to lease a building with an owner u have an ongoing 6 year + relationship with.

In the same Forum also announced the soon to arrive new big screen - planning permission was granted in Oct, yet again NOTHING - Tom Cliffe kindly informed us that there was delays as they had to run an electric cable to another sign out the front of the West stand - who knew?Huh?

And many on here wonder why I don't trust KT to finish the East stand, just as he promised when he managed to take control of the club over genuine Northampton people.



PLEASE NOTE THIS POST IS OF MY VIEWS ONLY AS I POST AS AN INDIVIDUAL RATHER THAN AS A TRUST BOARD MEMBER - OTHER TRUST BOARD MEMBERS OR THE TRUST AS WHOLE, MAY NOT AGREE WITH THE CONTENT OF MY POST

How is your bro’ Bill Précis doing today?

Just a few observations,  the arse has completely fallen out of the office development market as there's so much surplus and unwanted space due to folk now working from home.

Most towns and cities football clubs are well over 100 years old and will still be around in a 100 years time, so waiting 5 years for a roi isn't even a issue.
Most forward thinking clubs are funded by league associations,  TV rights and get other incomes from 1000s of season ticket holders, plenty of matchday ticket sales, matchday corporate boxes, sales of food and beverages, Sponsorship and investment from local businesses..
At no point should a large towns community football club allow itself to be taken over by speculators that have no interests in investing in its future but solely there for vast profits from the land it stands on.
Our football club could easily trade at 50% more by being run by those who only want our club to have a bright future and succeed to being the best it can.
 My ideal solution would to be to bannish thomas and those close to him from our club, getting in help from those who can easily double every aspect of our trading.

Stop the land sales until NTFC can identify its rightful boundaries and protect them at all costs for our clubs future.

 Embrace our immediate catchment area, all 300.000 of them, let them know NTFC have awoken from the 20 year cdnl nightmare  with new  plans and is open for business as an open honest welcoming  club,


Melbourne and few others seem to be unable to get their head around the fact that community football clubs are different from all other businesses, mainly because they stay trading forever,  they always remain popular despite the ups and downs and its real share holders are its 10s of 1000s of small investors,  its supporters who do not seek other brands after a bad result or two.



Except with regards to office development market, we are doing quite nicely with the value up 26% in 4 years, so thats fúcked that theory. Whilst this doesn’t necessarily stop you from having an opinion you repeatedly seem to fail to take into consideration the views of people who may be in a position to comment from considerable experience, particularly when it doesnt suit your agenda. That is never an attribute that serves well and invariably leads to chaos and failure.

A Godless society is a lawless one..
All Britush laws are made on Christian values.

So you make a sweeping statement and offer no alternative,
A bit like all discussions on here  Grin
Maybe an autocratic North Korean type existence would suit us better?

Any way can't chat,  I'm off to church on this holy Easter day.

When your holy book tells you just how far you are allowed to go when beating your slaves or advocates stoning a ràpe victim to death because they didn't scream loudly enough for help then it kind of loses all moral authority.

Happy Eostre day!

We’ve had Hitler, I’m sure we’ve had religion but not many diggers in sight.
Maybe Moses can part the East Stand.

Enjoy your eggs everyone.

I agree with a fair bit of your redevelopment rhetoric but this is plain nonsense. We live by our own moral standards, we all know the difference between right and wrong, we don't need a questionable book to dictate and control our behaviour. As for your silly North Korea statement, there are plenty of secular countries, non religious doesn't lead to autocracy.
Here's some interesting reading for you.

No it aint. A lawless society is more likely, when there is more than one Deity involved.
"My invisible friend is better than yours" usually results in weapons being produced, and will continue to do so for a long time yet. At least until the first passing Vulcan spaceship detects Zefram Cochranes warp signature in 2063. At this juncture everybody calms down, and finally realises that the superior being has pointy ears. Or something like that.
