Our esteemed chairman is busy setting another County Company - County Cemetries along with Simon Patnick.

Google Simon Patnick and in February he announced a new business venture low cost Jewish burials under the County banner.

What a great way to make money from the pitch 7 days a week. Ay yay yay!

It's going to cost less a year to join the scheme than my recently renewed season ticket. Mind you, things could change.

I particularly like the line that their will be 15000 burial plots.

I wonder if that capacity will be reduced to under 10000.

I have had a reply from the club and they say 'I am not sure where the idea of boxes on stilts comes from, the boxes will be fully integrated in the West Stand and will most certainly be facing the pitch rather than any car park!'

Also...

'The East Stand is being redeveloped over the close season, with Executive Boxes and extra seating installed, as well as improved facilities for supporters. It will look close to the artist’s impression that has been released – the problem we have is that the plans are constantly being amended as we and our developers find improved ways to do things and it is impossible to get a drawing of every possible amendment! There won’t be any boxes on stilts in the East Stand the hotel will  now go on the West side, with the Conference Centre that is adjoined to the West Stand.'

Close to the artists impression might be good enough Smiley
Any mention of how many seats?

No mention of numbers. The reply also included that 'Very soon the external work will begin and supporters will see the work taking place so their won’t be any requirement for an artist’s impression.'

Sounds like good news that the East will, hopefully, be pretty much as planned just smaller in rows though!

Yet more inconsistency of communication. Whilst it sounds promising, until I see things in concrete its going to be very hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure that as you look at the "new" East stand from the West stand it will look as it does in the pictures ......... it will be the bit behind it that you cant see from the West that will look different as it wont have a conf centre or hotel.

I not sure but I "think" you can put in a planning application and build "less" than you have permission for,  you just cant do more.   So the current east plans might not need to be formally amended

We lost 2000 seats but gained a pointless  directors box in the west stand! No artist impressions required as its just a row of boxes on top with a couple of rows.

If it was totally straight forward why doesnt he just come out in the press and publish what the new stadium will look like?

FFS the architects dont even have a website, where are the CGI's plans etc?Huh?

This is yet another boken promise, his reputation with the fans is at an all time low.

David just tell us the long suffering fans what the hell is going on!

Just ask for a personal audience with him to discuss the point - I'm sure he would agree but would you?

Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Big Dave's slip two weeks ago, wherein he blurted out about 'now only having a capacity of 8,500', we'd be none the wiser about the capacity having been reduced, would we?
We've waited years to see the capacity of Sixfields expanded and upgraded. The club should be using every medium available to 'grow' interest in the project, and yet we are being told next to nothing.
The silence from the club is damning.
As it stands the East will resemble the artists impression, but with one major difference. Less seats!
We, the fans, did not ask for a 10,000 capacity stadium. But we were promised one. Actually we were promised 15,000-25,000. Whichever way you cut it, and regardless of boxes, conferencing etc, a capacity of 8,500 will place us among the Morecombes, Accringtons, Burtons of this world.
We need to expand the ground now, while the funds are available.
Portsmouth sold out in five days for the game at our place; I wonder what the crowd might have been with additional capacity?

Good points and one I raised when the original sixfield plan was downgraded to only 4.5k - actually my point to yellowboy7 was personal - he being author of fairly vile rants at Cardoza and whilst I think big mistakes have been made I object to people calling the chairman and indeed certain players c***s from the aminimity of a keyboard.........

http://planning.northamptonboroughcouncil.com/Planning/StreamDocPage/obj.pdf?DocNo=4185364&PageNo=1&content=obj.pdf

Here is the plan - looks to me like the boxes are on stilts and extend over the back of the West Stand.

None of the plans show the top section of seats - it shows 2 rows of seats roughly where the directors seating currently is.  I am imaging that there must the current rows of seats behind it still there.

Given there is a kitchen behind it - how can the boxes overlook the pitch!

The chairman said the capacity was going to be between 8-8500 so that's 8000 then, just 400 extra seats!

The change in plans were to accommodate a fat arsed directors box! Cant they use the east stand boxes and deliver what was promised and is desperately needed, a ground expansion.

I think with a suitable stadium capacity, the crowd on Saturday would've been around 8,500 as Portsmouth would almost certainly have sold 1,500 more tickets.

I personally reckon its 8500. I bought my ST in the new Upper Tier of the East Stand. The guy in the ticket office showed me the 6 new rows that he could sell on his PC. Assuming each row is 200 seats long (as they are at present in the East & West stands) that gives us another 1200 additional seats in the East. The old figure of 7653 has long been downgraded and I believe Sixfields current capacity is nearer 7300. 7300 + 1200 = 8500.
