Once those boxes get fixed at the back of the East it will stop any future development in this area which makes sixfields null and void when looking at a ground that will properly serve us if we can achieve a couple of promotions.

One other thing that makes this even more ridiculous is that when the loan has all been spunked on poe in the sky directors boxes, we will have just 6000 odd seats to serve a town and county the size of Northampton, the seats squeezed in at one side will be in the away section.

Accrington Morecambe Dag red have as many home seats!

Defend that....

No wonder they have tried to hide this sh1te behind our relegation battle.
I'm with you about needing more seats but you do yourself no favours when you quote things like "Accrington, Morecambe Dag Red have as many home seats". Accrington have 2000 , Dagenham have 2200 and Morecambe 2173, those are total numbers of seats in their grounds not just home seats. If your going to quote things at least check them out .

This...

Lets just look at it this way, and I reckon Im being more than generous!

*500 Bolted on seats/6 new rows - Say 100k
*7500 New seats @ 20quid a pop which is generous = 150k
*16 boxes - 20k a box, fixtures & fittings - say 500k.
*Conference Centre - 200k.
*Bigger dressing rooms - 50k
*New bar - 100k
*Other bits - 400k

Total - 1.5million.

Whats it costing? 7.5million or something out of the 12 million loan (4.5million for the hotel)

Given that WE KNOW how much other stadiums are costing etc....admittedly this is total and utter guess work...what have I missed out?

I mean...how much can it possibly cost to install a row of boxes? ! A large conservatory extended to your house will cost you 10k...

I know f-all about building work costs...so someone who does and is not one bit slightly perplexed about all of this, explain what THEY THINK the costs would be and what they think we should be getting??

No bol lox of 'DC knows what he's doing etc'. Im certain he does. BUT this is a message board...Im asking a genuine question which Im entitled to do! Not accusing anyone of anything or even making implications. I just cannot understand where the 7.5 million quid is going.

Instead of coming up with stupid figures from guess work, let us wait until it's all completed (August time) and then maybe you will see where all the money has gone, because from what I believe the stadium will look totally different inside and out, and be a credit to this football club.

'Let's just look at it this way, and I reckon I'm talking shit' would be more accurate.

How about having this conversation on the completion of the work to IMPROVE the stadium, I for one would prefer a 7 day business income for the club to secure our future, instead of loads of seats and a ground with 4000 people in a 10000 capacity stadium. DC has informed us that the North & South stands can be increased if and when we need the extra capacity. So why oh why are people getting so upset about it, it's beyond me. Or, is it just a case of slagging off the chairman because certain people don't agree with him and think he's got some motive behind the change in plans  - ever thought that he may be the sensible one, and is only doing what is best for our club & for everyone that attends on matchdays.

Why all the fuss, the council who are loaning the money to dc are happy with the alterations to the plans and lets face facts we can't fill what we have. Based on that minor fact anything which increases the clubs income must be welcomed whether that be boxes or even coco the bleedin clown If/.When we climb the leagues the income from sell-outs and extra tv money will go some way to building up the north and south stands.

Well done: And here is your award for Most Ridiculous Post Of The Week Roll Eyes

Why hasn't anyone gone to see DC to express their view directly or to offer advice and/or assistance, rather than have your little cabal on here?
You may get the answers you desire rather than keep going around in circles stating the same rumours and supposition.

I thought you were bored with this. So why keep reading, eh?

Not if it's anywhere around the 8,500 capacity it won't be. It'll be a monument to ineptitude.

And let's not forget, when the loan was approved David Mackintosh stated that 'we have pushed for this because Northampton need stadium improvements and a 10,000 capacity, so they can prosper'.

I'm hoping the North and South stands are being left alone until safe standing is a viable option.

I've just read that every seat within the ground, fit for purpose or not, is going to be replaced with.....a seat.
WTF.......!!
On that theme, can we also have some stikers to replace the existing.... strikers?

I agree with you that the figures dont add up, and we may be underwhelmed by the end result, but, "other bits 400k"?
Where did you pluck that figure from? Grin

Shame the FL haven't approved rail-seats yet. That would help maximise potential capacity on the cheap.

Rail seats aren't cheap to install. I've just checked the current stadium plan, and currently we are getting 524 new seats. On the OS they say there may be a few more added. I'm expecting another 372 Wink
