There's one thing that can be said about DC ... He always delivers.

I'll take a bet there won't be 9000 seats after this development.

That's better, a bit of confirmed clarification.  Well done the Trust.
Hopefully this stops all of the blood vessel bursting arguments, rumours and made up guesswork that has dominated this thread over the past couple of days/weeks!  But then again, I am realistic...  Cool

Agree with 'bri77' & 'Deepcut Cobbler'

Everything answered well and has given me hope for this club. Onwards and upwards

I'm disappointed that padded seats didn't make the Q&A  Tongue
Hopefully the hotel application flies through. It sounds as though the whole area around the ground may be a built of a building site next season.

On a side note. Does anyone know if they are still building next to the cinema? Maybe they scrapped the Nandos when Bayo left. There were plans for a precinct all the way down the left as you look from the front.
That area is a gold mine for the right business.

Good to hear some clarification from DC on the matter. Let's hope everything goes to plan and we can get what he says he will deliver.

I have one area of concern though!! Initially it was said that the housing/retail would pay back the loan. Now DC says it will produce 'at least £5m'....so that leaves a 7.5 million amount outstanding. He also says that he doesn't want to saddle the club with that loan for long and that the business plan is in place....I hope that plan is watertight and guaranteed to produce the required income. £7.5 million is a lot to have to pay back whilst also attempting to make money to strengthen the team.

It clears everything up and makes perfect sense.

Not sure why there is still need to question it or moan?

East Stand will be 3,500 capacity, West Stand is about that isn't it? North and South are 950 each? So there is your 9k capacity?

I bet there won't be more than 8,993 seats. Any takers?

"I am hoping it will be nearer 9,000" Lets wait and see!!!!

Why take out 1000 seats, really dont understand that???

It costs about a £1000 per seat so its peanuts in the toatal scope of the project.

Surely a more Balanced East Stand ( 4000 seats) with the west would look better and be a lasting Legacy for you David?Huh?

Glad to meet as I said PM me

The line that the ground capacity could be very quickly and easily increased when the time comes by adding to the North and South stands does sound entirely plausible.

I don't trust him Dunc, that's why. Maybe he'll turn me round one day but I doubt he's that concerned just like you shouldn't be seeing's as you are content with our brand new 8993 capacity stadium.
I hope my seat isn't one of the twenty.

Just read through the link to the ntfc site.  I'm quite happy that the club are moving forward with it all.   My only remaining questions though are.

Will the new seats by padded like most new stands and stadiums in the country?

DC says that the club shop is staying where it is for the foreseeable future, yet the submitted plans show it in the west stand and much larger.  Why has this changed and what is going in the west stand instead.

Now my main concern.  How close will he build the retail/housing development behind the east stand.  Will this prevent any further expansion of the east many years down the line if needed?

By then you'll be grown up, with kids and a mortgage and you'll care a lot less than you do now. If not you'll be a sad old sod without a life.

Padded seats would bring my knees even closer to the seat in front!  Tongue

Well I'm actually already grown up with a child and a mortgage.  I just happen to follow my local football team and want to see it grow and succeed.

The saints made the same mistake a few years ago when it passed up the chance of purchasing some land behind the saints from express lifts.  They now can't expand one of their stands as the housing estate is too close to the stand.

Good luck then. It's what I wanted. I'm 73 now and am a Recovering Addict. It no longer ruins my weekend and I've deliberately forgotten the 40,000+ that went to Wembley and will fill the new, greatly expanded stadium of your dreams. I feel better for it.
