Where did the story of less seats originate from? I know the real money maker is suites not seats but the idea of an improved capacity was what got a lot of fans on side and writing letters and that. Bit poor if that's now being gone back on. But then again, dc always delivers

So the ground is having a £200,000 make over, so what the frick is the other £ 14,800,00 being spent on?

I would rather the council temporarily take back the offer until we get someone in place that understands what's required to promote the club within the town and redevelops the stadium to reflect the ambitions of our club.

The silence is deafening from Sixfields.
Just tell us what your doing, and why its in the clubs best interest!

I can except being temporality dumped out in the wilderness of non league football, but can not accept a golden opportunity missed due to extreme short-sightedness.

There is no way that the ground capacity will rise to 10000. Thats an additional 2400 seats.
If the East Stand is scaled back, where are they going?

6 additional rows of seats in the East is pretty much all thats been mentioned so far. A full row = 200 seats.....so even 6 full rows only equates to an additional 1200 seats.... and now its mentioned that it is only the wings that are being extended!! so thats what? 400-600 extra seats at best. Capacity rises to 8200, unless the boxes in the West neccisitate the removal of some seating there! Or, alternatively they could be super sized boxes each capable of holding up to 200 people!! That way we might just scrape an overall capacity of 10000!

I get the impression that the only changes to the East stand plans are to put off the conference centre which is to be built behind it until they know whether they can build it onto the West stand instead. There will still be an extra 10 rows totalling 2000 extra seats and boxes above that; the top 4 rows of seats of which reserved for now. A redeveloped west stand was always the original goal and by the sounds of it is still being planned.

Could be worth the trust getting clarification as to what is occurring? Surely DC will not want incorrect rumours circulating...

For once I agree with Drilling, some clarity would be nice. It's obviously still happening but there's lots of rumours floating around.

I have no doubt whatsoever, that at least one of his little sycophants is reading this.

I'm actually more p*ssed off about the way the club is being run off the field than on the field, unbelievably considering our position.

I'm just sick of the lack of transparency, constant lies, changes of plan and fúck all getting done.

Under this regime we've seen 2 (possibly soon to be 3) relegations and just 1 promotion.

Attendances have fallen. The football has mostly been dire. Battling relegation to non-league has become the norm. Managers and players have constantly turned over quicker than is healthy and there is no cohesive plan in place whatsoever.

The fans have been treated with very little respect and the worst part is it's all we've come to expect.

I'm at the point where I do not trust the board or anything they say anymore and I have grave concerns about how beneficial this £15m loan will end up being to the club.

There you go then....straight from the mouth of DC...capacity only up to around 8.5k max.

4-6 boxes in the West Stand and 10-12 boxes in the East Stand.

Capacity at the moment is 7600 so by my calculations that's just 900 extra seats for a £15,000,000 investment!!!

What do the council think on this matter, looks like Macintosh and tax payers of Northampton have very little return for their loan.

The Cricket club have just built a little stand at the CG, 980 seats for £600,000, that's 80 seats more than us but for £14,400,000 less Grin

I thought the loan was £12million?

Personally I think it makes a bit of sense, it's very easy to add on extra seats at not too much cost. It's not easy to add in boxes, conference centre and hotel without spending lots.

i think, as always, the main plan was the make the club a 7 day a week business, which they will still be doing.

the extra capacity isnt really needed in the skrill premier, or league 2.
