Cardoza has already said there has been a change. At first they didn't think they could improve the West Stand AS WELL as the East. Now apparently they can, at least they hope to if the planning permission comes through.

This is actually good news.

Lack of transparency on this is making the club look very amateurish and a bit like they're making it up as they go along.

It would be good to see a robust project summary of what is being done, where and when.

Last we heard from DC was that itd be sorted before the start of next season.

Cardoza has an interview on the club website TODAY about the redevelopment, that's the LATEST news.

They are selling tickets for the extra 6 rows in the East Stand for next season so I assume they still plan to have that work completed. So maybe work has begun, maybe it hasn't. But it's definitely a change of plan either way.

Guessing here but I presume the back four rows of the "new" east stand would be for the "new" corporate guests so would not be available for general sale or am I just looking at this in a far too positive way.

General sale as I understand. The number of boxes have been reduced in anticipation of having some put in the West. But in reality who knows?

I just hope, for the good of the people of Northampton, they get it all finished in time to give as many of us as possible the opportunity to see us storming to the Blue Square Bet title next season. 10,000 ain't gonna be enough.

The ground will be helmed in on all sides with extra new houses, making it look like Kenilworth rd Luton.

Not mentioned for a while, but Saints ground redevelopment will be more suited to Championship ambitions?

The club tweeted a picture of the work being done on the changing rooms, a huge improvement in terms of size.

The interview with DC on the official site clearly states that the planning application is currently in for the West Stand and the East Stand is in the process of being stripped out - what don't people understand?

A definitive final issue lay out, a few sections and elevation drawings.

Its our once in a life time,  wind fall from the Council so not to much to ask!
But we're all stressing that it will turn into a not fit for purpose shiite sandwich.

Wasn't the ground itself a once in a lifetime council handout

[/quoteIts been a while since I was at Kenilworth rd but Sixfields resembling Luton, surely not?
So, a serious question because I'm not clear about this. Where exactly are these new houses going to be built?

Yeah can understand it would be good to see the final plans - who is to say we won't see those once the planning permission is granted?

If you want to see 'Fantastic' look up what Brentford are achieving as their new ground on a plot of land surrounded by buildings.
What's going on now sounds exactly like any progress this club has ever made since I have supported them. Another unprofessional piecemeal attempt at doing the job properly. We have always been a joke of a club and I can't see anything changing soon.

I don't get this attitude. At first it was going to be just a redevelopment of the East Stand. Now we've found the resources not only to do that but also revamp the West Stand. What's not to like about that?

We'll end up with one of the best grounds in League 2 and if the worse was to happen the best ground in the Conference.

Piecemeal developments never produce a truly cohesive design that works on both the eye and in practice.
Piecemeal is how this club has been run since I've supported them. We are forever being disappointed by those at the top.
