I bet other fans from other clubs come here occasionally, bask in the majesty of this thread for a moment or two and scuttle off again to their own turgid forums wishing that they were really Cobblers fans. Maybe not just football fans either, why stop there. Actually I will have to as my 50p is about to run out in the meter and I need to boil the kettle for my coco.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a fans forum this season

My Inbox on here. Also someone mentioned it to me on DM on Twitter.

I don't really see it as isn't the club pretty much breaking even. Or wasn't it?
It’s not breaking even, it’s losing s*** loads each month.

I don't think we are unique in that department...

Of course, there is an alternative view worth considering.

It might just be that every time we are struggling for results, or the club might be limping along a bit, it turns into a w@nkfest for some... I mean; I don't know.. I'm just putting it out there.

The club is being touted all over the place and the current board want out as soon as possible .
Nothing will happen with the stand as long as this continues .
I am more concerned about the welfare of the club .
The wages we are paying and the people we are paying off is not in proportion to our income .
There is a real air of despondency around the place and it’s worrying .
Has anyone seen KT at a game this season ?

I personally believe that until such a time you have the facts to hand, or that you are particularly proficient in what you are discussing, it's best not to say too much. Each time I remind people of this, I am told the very purpose of these forums and wider social media is to speculate. Or as we called it in the olden days... LIE.

If anybody actually knows what’s going on at the moment then post it.
Problem is the forum contains lots of guessers who like to come across as informed.
They are not

At the moment some of the guessers are saying we are close to a takeover.

Other guessers are saying we are entering administration

The trust haven’t a clue as they have been sidelined and so more guessers emerge.

Surely it’s time for the club to release a statement setting the record straight as to what is going on and who has guessed correctly.

The fact that no official statement is forthcoming in light of these guesses is a bit odd imo

The only fact I know is KT is in talks with someone/some people and trying to get a deal done. Not close enough to suggest it would be announced this week though.

Everything else is pure rumour/bollocks IMO.

If that is a fact, it is quite a substantial one towards the future of our club.
If it progresses the current perceived stagnation, I would be pleased but we have been the victims of too many false dawns to build up any positive hope.

What we do know

Our present owners are looking to sell the club

No progress has been made on the East Stand since the owners bought the club for £1.00 nearly 3 years ago

No plans have disclosed by our owners for the East Stand redevelopment or any wider plans

Our owners have shown no intention of developing Sixfields beyond paying lip service to completion of the East Stand but progressing nothing and blaming delays on the Council due to a boundary issue on 2 plots of land both of which are owned and controlled by our owners through NTFC & CDNL under long term leases

Front man KT has been silent for many months

The wage bill, if not the highest, is amongst the highest in League 2 and unsustainable by NTFC on present income.

That anyone considering taking over the club will have the cost of completing the East Stand to bear in addition to a big monthly wage bill to meet.



What we don’t know

The asking price of Ventures for its majority shares in NTFC

The identity of any buyers

The status of any negotiations

If the CDNL land is part of the sale

The truth behind the 5USport debacle.

How much money (if any) 5USport invested and to whom did it go

What has happened to that Chinese invested money (if any)

How much of their own money (i.e. non 5USport originated money) have Bower & Thomas actually invested in NTFC

Did our present owners come here with any eye on future profits from the redevelopment of the land behind the East Stand

Whether or not any redevelopment plans exist

What agreement has been made with Buckingham Group

If the club is heading towards Administration
