Redevelopment Closer Than Ever?

[Peter Frost]

Can we have signs as you leave the West Stand via the various stairs saying Thank You For Coming.

Buses here, have a panel that displays "Merci Beaucoup" if you give way to them perhaps that would make certain individuals feel more appreciated..............

[Peter Frost]

Come on now, Kettering are a club with, probably, less than 10 full time employees, how many do we have ? Our staffing costs for the year ending June 23 were £3.8M but Kettering have the man power to organise electronic boards for one match but we didn't, really ?

Roger, in isolation most of your comments are reasonable even if you are viewing it from the outside and don't always know if the full business case has actually been evaluated - however the reason you tend to get a negative response on here is whether true or not unfortunately  you are seen to represent a cohort whose sole objective is to comment on things the club hasn't done, could do better or have done it badly, whilst appearing to almost pathologically never able to praise any of the undoubted positive actions the club has made unless accompanied by a none to subtle barb. - I'm afraid it is this lack of balance and intransigence that has caused the regrettable impasse between club and trust.

Are they also about to complete a three level stand with multiple decisions having to be made about how to maximize commercial revenues from such a stand?

You fixate on the strangest things and refuse to take any explanation from people on here or the club about why the priorities are what they are.

That one game was Kettering's (relative) big pay day. We have added electronic advertising hoardings for big cup games in the past have we not? I don't know the exact details about why we didn't in the last round, but you are fixated on it, just like you were adamant that the club should be selling cans of lager bought at tesco, to away fans, Despite having been given a full explanation from the cub about why it isn't feasible at present.

I'm really not "fixated" on it, I think your getting mixed up with the people desperate to prove me wrong, but failing to do so.
      Just to put a bit of context around your last remark. It was Barnsley selling cans of beer at £5.50 per can at the last match of last season, I asked why don't we do something similar and was told that you only make 50p - £1 per drink. I then pointed out that the same cans that Barnsley sold were available from Tesco's for 80p per can, someone said you had to go through an wholesaler and when I checked they charged 90p per can. At no time did I say the club should sell lager from Tesco's, I used them as a price comparison.

And it was then pointed out to you, that one of our bigger club sponsors was Carlsberg, who may not be happy about such a scheme.

Most definitely, I'd say any fixation is theirs and not yours.

Please see the post above yours, it will correct your misunderstandings

No monkeys given what other clubs do...........

Following MCHammer's decision to post certain quotes from my PRIVATE message to him and subsequently being contacted by Kelvin Thomas via the Trust Chairman I have decided to cease posting on here and other social media on matters regarding NTFC with immediate effect.

I feel that despite my complaints of abuse and bullying by regular posters and mods of this board over the years, the skullduggery has now escalated to such a point that the lengths some will go to know no bounds.
 
This has reached the point now that people, including MCHammer, think it is acceptable to publish private responses despite it being a reply to a constant demand for "evidence" and even starting their reply with soft words like, it's not personal!  By any standards this is low conduct.
 
As many of you know, I suffer from a mental condition that means I "talk or type" too much, that I can't stay quiet when I feel there is unjust things being done and that I "overshare" and must win an argument.
 
I had the phone call a year or so ago from an Administrator of this site expressing his concern about my mental health, only for a week later for him to continue his ridicule and abuse, all of which has increase greatly over the last few months.
 
And now we are back round to this time of year when SOMEONE starts pushing their agenda of getting rid of the Trust board and here we are, surprise, surprise, with a senior poster on the board, by the way a professionally qualified person, goading me into a private message, so that it can be used against me by people with an agenda.
 
Upon reflection the whole situation has become totally toxic with ALL parties playing their part in it and it's something that has to stop NOW.
 
I don't want this to escalate further because if it does, then I too will be seeking claims against both THE and MCHammer on grounds, including but not limited to, of breaching my privacy and causing emotional distress.  If I am advised that MCHammer has breached his profession’s code of conduct I intend also to pursue a complaint against him.
 
But, as I say, perhaps this is time for everyone to pause, consider their actions, past and present and that includes Kelvin Thomas too because everyone keeps claiming they are all operating with the club's best interests, so should it really be this difficult to get on and help our club progress?
 
I wish everyone here the best and hope we can stay up to "enjoy" another season in L1.
 
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all

A very wise decision. All the best Derek.

Precisely.

I'm sorry if this reply seems harsh but from my perspective I'm sick of your lies and spurious legal threats.  If the genuine intention of the message was to de-escalate the situation then it would have been a good start by not writing a pack of lies and threatening legal action.

You portray yourself as an innocent victim of some kind of complex sting operation, orchestrated by myself.  YOU sent me a DM completely unsolicited.  After one short reply from myself YOU AGAIN COMPLETELY UNSOLICITED made the claims of illegal activity regarding our owners.  You are the first person in history to carry out a complex sting operation on yourself!!!!  All this while I consistently told you to put the information in the public domain for everyone to see.

I didn't goad or coerce you into anything.  I did the exact opposite and warned you about the risk you were placing on yourself and others, including me.  I've given you multiple opportunities both privately and then publicly to retract, alter or provide evidence to support your claims of illegal activity and you have chosen not to respond.  In fact the glaring omission from your statement above is any mention of the accusations you made of the owners which leaves me in the same legal position you put me in when you made the claims.  Meaning the next step will be addressing these claims directly through the Trust Board. 

Regarding your legal threats you've been badly advised.  Privacy is superceded by accusations of the type of illegality you have made.  While I have sympathy on a personal level for any emotional distress you may be under the evidence would demonstrate clearly the cause was of your own making.  You literally insitigated and escalated the whole situation.  As for professional conduct I'm completely comfortable with everything I have done.  In your role as a board member of the Supporters Trust and having witnessed your conduct I would question whether you are able to claim the same. 

As I said at the begininng I'm sick of having to defend myself against your lies so if it continues I'll just publish my DMs and everyone can then see for themselves.

Without making light of anything, given the symptoms stated half the forum is suffering from the same condition, myself included.

Looks like the painters have been busy in the South stand, white lines on the steps and gangways look very fresh, and the glazing in the East stand boxes looks like it's almost complete.

It’s really coming along nicely isn’t it?
When the sponsor boards go up and the giant club crests I reckon it’ll be fantastic.

They promised to complete it.
They have!

Having demanded it for so long you’d think certain people would be over the moon. All of a sudden for some inexplicable reason that general objective has been completely disregarded to the extent that it now seems to be portrayed as a negative by those same individuals. A cynical person might start to think it was never really about the stand in the first place. Surely that can’t be true?

What... No. The alternative must be that they simply have an insatiable agenda to stick it to the club, because they haven't got exactly what they want. To accommodate that view. We would have to assume that they are entitled, petty, jealous people. Who are furious because their failed attempts to have a stake in the running of the club has consistently failed.

SURELY NOT 🤔
