I am trying to **** bring people together and all you get some certain people is **** abuse

Where was your post to Deepcut when he **** says he wouldn't contribute 1p **** penny to anything I was involved with?Huh???

Have a **** go at him first, what you your response be?  I have **** tried to include all and The Trust have given both you and Cobblerwatch time to air your views to move forward. But no the very 1st post I moan at someone you are both on here have a **** go at me saying I should work with these people FFS. WHAT THE **** DO YOU WANT BE SAY OR DO THAT WOULD MAKE ONE BLIND BIT OF DIFFERENCE TO THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE SO ENTRENCH IN THEIR VIEWS OF THE TRUST, THAT WOULD EVER CHANGE??

I have asked for help, your thoughts, what you want, blah **** blah, but nothing every comes back, you just sit there and **** pick holes on trying to move forward.

In the meantime we have owners who have been here 6 years and achieve absolutely **** all for us as a club, but not one single word against them or asking for better.

YES I AM **** ANNOYED.

the **** begins with F

You are on the board of the Trust. If it were me I would take the initiative and set the standard. It’s a suggestion, you don’t have to listen and are perfectly entitled to continue with the current strategy.

Maybe show a little more courtesy, humility and politeness in your public posts then maybe I won't feel the need to?

We had a perfectly civil exchange of views via PM the other day, so I struggle to understand why you are so volatile in public.

Not everyone that doesn't agree with you has a hidden agenda or is in KTs pocket!

Thanks BOTN, I am calmer now but as politely as I can say it, may I ask you and others to extend me the same courtesy

Basically Being told that i would not piss on you if your were on fire, when all i asked is would you help us (and I mean all the fans) move forward.

Again I note it is the same people saying the same thing, every opportunity. Yes don't post anything positive or forward thinking on this thread whatsoever.

I am trying (yes I know very trying  Grin)

You have my number, why not call me Huh?

Random.  I think you should maybe go back and read Deepcut's last 3/4 posts on this thread that were addressed to you.  The reason being is that I think he sums up perfectly how many people feel about the supporters trust, it's board and how people like you conduct themselves when trying to put your point across.  Because everything you have typed since then misrepresents everything he said.

He was asked a direct question and answered it in an honest way and provided lots of constructive feedback.  You have taken that personally, swearing, shouting and blaming a million other things.  Maybe you can need to take a breath and look at the way you are coming across and ask yourslef why he would feel that way.  I'm sad to say I don't think he's the only one thinking it.

Does it really ? because all i see is the same ones attacking me and the Trust whilst our club slips slowly towards non-league.

You only attack us, yet no one word against the current state of the club and the owners although you somehow claim not to be pro-KT.

The good news is this is my last post in reply to you, BOTN and Deepcut. Please refrain from commenting on my posts, they are not aimed at you, you clearly are not interested in anything I or the Trust do or say.

To you and others, the Trust in the past have been far too passive and compliant, now they are too aggressive and vocal, we can't win with some of you.

We are clearly held far more to accountable, judged far harsher than the people who are suppose to represent the fans - the owners, the Chairman, the CEO.

Forget all the politics around the Trust, one question to KT; WHEN WILL THE TALKING STOP AND THE WALKING START?Huh?

a) One month

b) One year

c) NEVER

I voted Never in Feb 2016, I haven't changed my mind since. Every passing week it's clearer to see, hence why the distraction attacks on myself and The Trust.

The Trust are trying to regroup, become more relevant again and put pressure on KT to answer your question above. You could always ask for a zoom meeting, there are all the rage these days.  Grin.

"The Haribo on sale at the club on matchdays is far too expensive."

I genuinely think you have some sort of problem.  It's like talking to a child.  I mean what adult has EVER said "HE STARTED IT".  Grin Grin

My heart sank when I heard you were on the Trust Board and within days you've well and truly lived down to all expectations.  If you are where the Trust is heading then heaven help them and us.  You probably don't need to be told but if you personally are involved in any way with an Infrastructure Foundation in the future then I also will never give that foundation a single penny.....I'm sure there are others that feel the same.

Finally I'll reply to whatever I like in the future but I will do you the courtesy of cirticising something about the club in my first sentence of any message aimed at you to make you feel more at ease and provide balance.

Just wanted to speak to the silent majority out there, I hope you are able to see that my only concern is to make NTFC better and move us forward away from owners whose only focus is land development.

The Council believe that the Trust is relevant, and as they hold the freehold to the development land, they are the important ones.

Others will mock and try to derail any progress for whatever their own personal reasons are - our owners have had 6 long years and we are going nowhere on the pitch and nowhere off it, they have had long enough.

Either build the East stand like you said, out of your own funds, or do a deal that involves others and move on. Stand first or Infrastructure Foundation, its up to you KT / DB.

Time for action, action that involves investment, hence why I am at least trying to come up with some ideas that will move the redevelopment forward.

I am proud to be involved with the Trust and I am proud to be one of those who are looking at the Infrastructure Foundation.

I was voted supporter of the Year, I have earned and save the club tens of thousands, I have helped many many supporters on matchdays in the past etc etc etc

I want a better NTFC and I do not apologise for that, and I won't let the naysayers win.

If anyone wants to speak with me directly, to either support or complain, then please PM and i will give you my number, be very happy to talk and listen.

This site is a hotbed for those ntfc supporters easily befriended by fine words who show an unhealthy love for short term, over staying, land obsessed Chairman such as Cardoza/Thomas, so dont let them get to you!
No sooner had the proverbial 5hite hit the fan with Cardoza,  they instantly crawled away to reattach themselves around Thomas's sphincter.
These folk must be either promised some of the bounty or just desperate to blindly befriend these Chairman types without any thought to the damage they could do to the long term future of our football club.
Unfortunately as soon as they collectively realise the error they may have made in  befriended one who isnt really there for the good of their club, they then just front it out to the bitter end.
Again we will see all the old diehard Cardozaites now flying the bedraggled Thomasian flag to its bitter conclusion.

I have no doubt with our strong dedicated Trust,
Northampton town will recover from these past 20 years of Cardoza/Thomas stagnation  and go on to being the thriving, united club our town deserves..
Thomas can't hang around for much longer.

Well said gentlemen, I do agree many here prefer long and well constructed sentences to a well constructed action plan.

I'm sure within The Trust, affiliates, friends, Romans and Northamptonians there are architects, engineers, procurement specialists, IT geeks, PR consultants, financial advisors (loads on here) builders, hospitality, publicans, media gurus, who else do we need?

Forget the east stand, let them continue their decade long saga and put together plans for a new north stand incorporating all the necessary facilities for the Trust and supporters. Make your list now.

Get some captivating plans out there with a positive and clear message with how to donate and contribute, you may be surprised who's out there. No one can block it and it will probably embarrass others into action when it gets to national press, "The supporters fed up with waiting so they're building a stand themselves"

Or continue to sit on your hands and argue over the owners, board members, peeling paint, land issues, the way forward forever? Fed up waiting? Do it yourself. We cant influence what happens around the stadium but we can influence the stadium itself.

I've openly said I would've donated a grand a year or more for such an initiative and I'm skint, there are many others out there in a better position than me. If we had started such a project ten years ago we would have £3m in the kitty now. Only need another 299 who feel the same as me.

I watched some of the Mufc v MCFC women’s game yesterday on bbc1. They played the game at Leigh Stadium which has a 12k capacity. Tidy ground and just how I think that Sixfields could be like. A nice big terrace behind one goal (North) and the other stands similar heights to feel enclosed and compact.
 The game against Sutton we were a bit late arriving and it was lashing down. Out of desperation for a beer we went into Carr’s Bar which I often avoid and normally go in the other pubs nearby.
 The tinpot nature is summed up in this place alone. Tiny bar, slow service etc etc.  I can never quite work out why you cant have more bar staff on a modest hourly rate generating higher sales and therefore covering the cost plus profit on the increased sales. Am I missing something?

Don’t doubt the Saints fans drink in the pubs on the Weedon Rd but I’d have little doubt they capture the vast majority of the beer and food takings on match days where as we are the complete opposite. These same facilities are the ones that are most likely generating them income across the year for various events.
 The club did get permission for a marquee behind the north but nothing happened.

If there was a dedicated fund to rebuild the North or similar I would donate a regular amount even if only modest.

There was a group set up a few months ago called "the new Hotel End" about expanding the North with facilities underneath. Now, because certain people accuse me of being anti NTFC, despite being a supporter for 60 years and a STH for 40 years, I have to stated that this is a rumour, and that the organisers of the said group approached NTFC and asked for a grant of less than a grand to get some drawings done but were turned down. Like I say this is a rumour that I heard, I cant say if it's true or not.

Well it had been started, with the 'new hotelend' social media/website stuff and it was gaining a bit of traction. Then the guys who were steering that initiative 'put it all on hold'.

I've no idea why, a real shame imo.

I don't post on this thread as I do not see it achieving anything, the board will do whatever they want when they want. The wasted man hours on this thread must be colossal, time better spent tending the allotment or polishing smart car (no I don't have one).

I've no idea why, a real shame imo.

They released a statement on Twitter a few days after the Trust announced they were withdrawing support for the development deal back in June.  I can't find it now but from memory it mentioned something along the lines of that in the current climate and the relationship between club and trust it felt it was not something they could look to pursue at that time in that environment.

I agree big shame as it sounded like a great idea, had indeed gained a lot of traction and most of all it was great to see people actually doing something rather than just talking about it.

These same facilities are the ones that are most likely generating them income across the year for various events.
 The club did get permission for a marquee behind the north but nothing happened.

If there was a dedicated fund to rebuild the North or similar I would donate a regular amount even if only modest.  

I was the last landlord of The Red Rover when under Scottish & Newcastle so I can confirm how much was to be made from The Saints.

When I ran the place I had free reign as it had been destined to an ill-fated redevelopment by upper management in Nottingham so therefore could run it as I wished. I separated the bar to Cobblers and the lounge to The Saints, we even sold programmes on match days. Sadly I only had Saints players come to visit me Paul Grayson, who left me his soiled shorts to put up, Tim Rodber, Harvey Thorneycroft and the like.

This had never been done previously and I posted record profits until its closure and ridiculous transformation into one of our then theme pubs, “Big Hand Mos” There is a story to all of this I simply cannot go into now!

My point, as mentioned above by MC, I did see the ideas submitted recently to make the north into a fans stand and I have huge admiration for whoever submitted this idea and gained some initial traction, so let that be the catalyst and off the back off this the Trust should finally make a huge statement of intent, show some balls.

I can’t even find what the Trust are truly about or their intentions even coming on here, so how on earth are the public going to understand them by hiding in darkened rooms?

I can only see one reason for The Trust to not take on such a project and that is fear of failure as it is certainly possible to raise the necessary finance and to make the north stand a viable and profitable enterprise for The trust and more importantly NTFC.
