Didn't someone borrow some money from somebody else in mid January, to be paid back by the end of that month. Anyone know what happened?

Apology accepted, Ive been called far worse on this emotive subject by both those who had vast unconditional loyalty for David/ Tony Cardoza who also saved us from this awful 'oblivion' fate by paying a little bit of tax and a few weeks back pay to take control, and now by those like you who show great affection and loyalty to the latest incombents to the point you could actully be one of them or a family member which if the case is honourable imo. And heres the but.. I am a Northamptonian who wants the very best for my club NTFC but all I see is people making a case for our ambition to be that of a struggling 4th division club that spends the odd season being out classed in league 1. For me thats just not enough I want us to be a challenging league 1 club with the odd season in the championship which is why we need better infrastructure to attract better players, more supporters and sponsors etc to achieve it. Anyone who makes the claim to build a winning team with excellent individual players at Sixfields in its current poor state must also realise we will 100% lose those players after several months for a fraction of their worth to teams we should be competing against, and the merry go round, goes around again. Melbourne, I stand by my previous post as being the only viable way forward for this club based on the level of investment we can expect from this latest lot which after 2.5 years of waiting NBC to again hand over unconditional riches to a passing consortium, I hope they are kept waiting until we have as a club have some assurance that what we get is more than a few crumbs.
Again what’s the pitch to attract millions in investment?

But would YOU remortgage YOUR home to finance it?

Am I the only one that has heard its not going to happen , too much legal crap to sift through to make it viable
I thought all the legal stuff was close to being sorted out, just waiting for the Council's cabinet meeting. They have told the trust recently that all will be sorted by the end of March, at the latest.

No one needs to remortgage anything or even dig in their own pockets should they not wish too. Sell future seasons ticket in a debentures style where if you buy 3 or more years you get those tickets at good rate, free of inflation so giving great value to holders if this was taken up by just 1200 fans taking advantage and you have your 12 boxes, resturant and large supporters bar. The future shortfalls will be lost by a major sales campaign attracting fans to what will be a proper must visit stadium. Then you have 12 corperate boxes to sell and again you sell 3 season packages giving again holders a great deal so theres your first £300,000 towards building up the grounds pathetic capacity. Naming rights is the way too go, ie, Sixfields Bettingco.net staduim, 10 years high profile exposure on every tv channel and press everywhere has got to be worth £500,000. Maybe a long shot but the premier league do football stadia funding up to £750k so if they can be tapped up for another 500k you now have your 1st bank of 3000 conventional safe standing atmospheric terracing for our more vocal fans. Theres literally another dozen ways to gain the finances needed for some steady sustainable growth without putting our heads in a noose. From whats just been posted about free nbc land now not happening and the Chinese are here to work with our main sponsors NU and not going to be putting in vast sums into football, thats fine not a problem but it just means we now need to protect everyone's interests and getting a trust member on the board to allow the clubs supporters to work closely with all parties to not allow the club to further stagnate and return crashing back to the bottom tier. At this time divisions must be avoided.

Steer me in the right direction Beds but where has anyone said the Chinese (invisible I know) are here for the university? How much have they invested in the Uni? When replying please bear in mind that the official record of Northampton Town Ventures Ltd, the holding company fr NTFC, does not show any Chinese ownership or control. Very strange given the public announcements by KT and very questionable.

This is like the elephant in the room, what is that all about, all very odd and unconventional. The trust were given an insight into what is planned, if there is no news by the end of March they should reveal what's been said.

Well, it’s been nice chatting with you but I must be on my way, mind how you go.

Yep. He's had why this won't work explained to him numerous times over the course of this thread but it seems to go on one ear and out the other with very little resistance along the way. They say it's the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome, so being relatively sane I'm not going to bother trying to explain it again.

How about doing something pro active and helping Beds with his business plan? You could set up a weekly pre match shove ha’penny competition behind the east stand at a pound entrance fee. That should bring in about £15 less prize money. Or how about building a dry ski run down the middle of the west stand. We could have Frank in his lederhosen yodeling as the punters slalom past the directors box at £2 a time. Who knows if things go our way this time next year we will be able to buy the builder his high vis vest?

Desperate to show you've not been rattled you start throwing in what you constitute as humour? Ski slope in west stand and lederhosen..stop it now my sides hurt... I thought you were bowing out of this tread? Send my regards to Thomas when you face time him next😗 😂😂

Apologies VC I personally haven't got the foggiest as to whats happening at our club other than the lack of progress so Im just reading between the lines like everyone else on here. These are uncertain times for sure.

No rush, Im here all week Nope, look back through this thread if you are really interested. Maybe search for the phrase "cash flow" if you haven't got all day to trawl back through all 1000+ pages to find my previous attempts at explaining it.
