Time to slag me off ladies and gents.

What a boring and uninspiring design that is. I guess I should have seen that coming with my old buddy Mr Cardoza in charge and what I've grown used to when it comes to anything NTFC, uninspiring.

As you were.
Agreed

I've just seen the details of the development and it offers the football and commercial community quality facilities equating to a Championship sized club. It is pleasing to see the upgrade of the west stand included as well.
Very well done to Mr Cardoza in overcoming all his off-field battles to get to this stage. I look forward to seeing the results in less than 12 months.
Now let's get the first team players fit and scoring goals so we start climbing the league (s)!!!!!
But also agreed!

What would have you liked? Is there a stand at another club that would have been a good example. Bit late now but curious.
Not having a go at all as good design shouldn't necessarily equate to higher costs. Or does it? The architects amongst us could possibly advise?

Everyone who comes on this site should have a look at the presentation to the Chamber of Commerce that is presently running on the official site. It explains a lot about the club and how the new facilities are going to be used both on and off matchdays.

If it all comes off I think it will be a major step forward for the club and maybe, just maybe, make some of the cynics on here have to find something else to moan about.  Kiss

I think it makes the ground look pretty decent and with the most important part, the 365 days a year commercial buildings in place, it certainly looks like the spring board we've been waiting for.
Well done those concerned in getting it this far.

The town has a high proportion of morons so the club will always suffer because of that.

When the work is complete, the ground will be a bit odd.  Firstly, all the corporate facilities will be on the east side of the stadium which is undoubtedly the worst side to spectate from because it's right in the sune when it's shining and very open to the westerly elements on a wet and windy day - hardly the obvious side to have the highest paying spectators seated.  I know some will counter that there will be boxes for them to sit inside, but I much prefer to sit outside a corporate box any day.  Secondly, all that corporate and hospitality gubbins will be on the opposite side of the ground from the players and player facilities (there doesn't appear to be a tunnel in the new East Stand.  I can't think of many grounds where the two are on opposite sides of the pitch; surely the corporates and their guests will want to mingle with players after a game?  It looks a bit odd to me.

Odd but only a minor problem in the bigger picture!
Just build the bl**dy thing.
Well done to DC for being the person who has walked the walk.

Too many people seem to be missing the point here. The rebuilding of the East Stand is primarily to create additional sources of revenue throughout the year. Whilst it will add approx. 2500 extra seats we all know that in the short term they are unlikely to be used. The main focus was always going to be the Executive boxes and the facilities away from pitchside. What did people expect?

In respect of the boxes being on the opposite side to the Tunnel and players - Wycombe, Torquay, Leyton Orient, P*sh, Fulham, Forest, Watford, Luton. All of these spring readily to mind

Someone asked about the sun issue at a recent forum and DC said they're putting a big roof on it. As someone who has sponsored games regularly I can tell you the players don't hang around after a game. Quite often if you blink you miss them!

I can recall one occasion when Johnson led the players out from the East Stand.

This was the final confirmation that he had lost the plot and was really clutching at straws. AB should try the coming out of the club shop corner.

Given what we've seen on the pitch recently, will they even have windows?

Yes there will be windows. Apparenty they will be facing towards town and the people in the box's will get a free pair of Binocluars so they can watch the Saints.

The front will look like there's windows, but the will be angled such that they can blind the opposition goalie should the sun shine and /or be able to melt a few of the away fans in the south stand.  Grin
