We need to be looking at increasing capacity by a minimum 4000 if we have any ambition to ever play in the Championship, while there is no money in the pot, we need to look at doing it quickly and on the cheap. 2000 standing terraces built up behind the North and South stands. Keeping them as basic as possible, foundations, supporting steel sections with pre formed terrace sections, the roof to be metal sheets on supporting purlins and supported by 2 large supports as opposed to a more expensive cantilevered roof. Erect a supporting scaffold behind the East stand to hold 12 corporate / sponsor boxes. supporters bar and sponsor lounges can be created by use of temporary mobile type structures, hired or purchased 2nd hand and tarted up. These could be Hired out and used be used 7 days a week?
This would leave us with one of the best looking/ quirky little stadiums in the land.
As for the enabling works, flog the land around sixfields such as the North car park, prime land for a hotel and retail etc and use a little of funds raised to up grade the Stadium on the cheap.
Its got to be a better option and more manageable than anything proposed over these past 10 years! I doubt anyone would object to this happening at Sixfields?
OMG.....and the main contractor for all this? Trotter Independant Traders aka Delboy I hate to think what an extension to your house would look like

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c***’... me!

i understand building works are beginning w/e 17th March. The new East Stand will be ready for the Barnet game, and the corners will also be filled in by then as well. A new feature of the new seats is a pipe centrally positioned in the seat, linked into a network of further pipework leading to Carrs Bar. This will allow, with minimal effort, a high pressure real ale colonic irrigation whilst you watch the game. Designated drivers and non-drinkers have a choice of hot tea or masala sauce (sponsored by Taste of Spice, Duston) as alternatives to be siphoned directly up your rear end.
The small print says the system has a design capacity to meet the anal demands of around 6000 fans, any attendees over this figure run the risk of having compressed air (potentially with metal filings left over from the installation) unfortunately piped into them due to a design fault.
The ticket office advises all fans to arrive early, a one way system will be in operation due to a clash with a half time w@nking competition.
