Go and speak to DC, he may be able to take the guesswork out of it...  Roll Eyes

I doubt it. By the time I get back from having the meeting with him, the developers would have found some more better ways of doing things and therefore making the content of our meeting null and void.

I can't see what all the fuss is about. I mean we're getting over 500 additional spaces and it's only costing 12 million. A bargain Tongue

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

The plan looks just odd - there appears to be up to six rows of extra seating with a massive hole in the centre - I am assuming that could be where to put the boxes?

What also does not make sense is that you can buy a season ticket in the away overflow section.

I've just read that every seat within the ground, fit for purpose or not, is going to be replaced with.....a seat.
WTF.......!!


Don't knock it. A nice new padded seat is the biggest benefit that most of us are going to get out of the £12m.

Everyone saying look at Hull, Swansea, Wigan etc etc ... How do you know it is the increased capacity that lead them to success and not the corporate facilities/boxes?

Also love the suggestion of safe standing to the North stand as this would increase the capacity by 1,000 with no extension needed. Stick on another 900 to the away end and you have your 10,000 capacity stadium.

It is also my understanding from when the loan was first confirmed that the sale of the homes will pay back the £12million loan thus meaning that as soon as all the homes are sold the club will be making profit on the facilities built with said loan - assuming they are booked and used.

They did both at the same time. This is the point trying to be made....

How much confidence do you have in the club to successfully sell all boxes for every game? Now be serious, this is NTFC we're talking about - the only side at the bottom not running any sort of "Let's fill the ground" style campaign for the last match(es) of the season

How many corporate / executive facilities do you think the vetch, Springfield park or booth ferry park had?
The examples of these teams being used is there attendances were low when they redeveloped so when they had their shiny big and corporate potential grounds they could grow as clubs. How will we grow with a capacity of 8 ish k?

Both at the same time would be fantastic but £12mill obviously only goes so far. If you don't have confidence in the club selling 12 boxes every game how do you expect the club to put use to 2,000 extra seats?

It was originally going to go as far as 10,000 and boxes.

A decent team sells itself, thankfully as the club won't do it

I love these pseudo intellectual debating threads; so much passion and Demosthenes type rhetoric - I mean some posters suddenly emerge after months of inactivity. Bȕgger the fact we are at deaths door - if only you lot were more concerned about the team than the in's and out's of Redev' we wouldn't be in the mess we are now in.

Cheesy ok Easty I concede to you the "constructive" award even if it was only two words Wink and I agree with your support for Kingsthorpe Cobbler.
Aw thanks Evers , your seal of approval has made my day.
I did write a paragraph or two earlier on in the thread but you probably missed it amongst all the other accumulated wisdom.

So if I paid more attention to the team and maybe shouted a bit more at games we would be higher up the table?
Don't understand this why be concerned about the redevelopment when the team are struggling. I seem to be managing to discuss Accrington, Wycombe, burton, Pompey matches even the up coming match with the daggers AND redevelopment plans.

Don't forget Deepcut. We are not battling with our own unrealistic expectations. We are dealing with the diminishing returns on the expectations we were given. Perhaps like many on here, my anger is less about all the failed promises and false dawns and probably more about me being gullible enough to believe he would do what he said for once.

And me probably but I have heard so many different versions of the rumours and guesswork saying what is and isn't happening I just want someone to verify and state exactly what is happening and what isn't against the original announcement to put this all to bed.
The unknown is being fuelled by people putting random one liners or guessed financial expenditures against the loaned £12m without a shred of solid evidence.  We have had boxes on stilts peering over the top of the East stand, even had padded seats quoted now, was that all from the boy in the club shop as well?  Huh?
