One thing most of the recent posts seem to be forgetting is that NBC have said that there is nothing stopping NTFC completing the East Stand, apart from KT & DB spending a bit to do it. Once that happens, they can redevelop the surrounding land, and get their money back from the NTFC share of the profits. Surely that is a win win for them, a club with a completed ground for when they want to sell and more money coming in from the completed stand whilst they are still here. If this is not the case I stand to be corrected
    My understanding is that this has been the situation before Covid, so have they missed the best opportunity to do it?

Spot on......for a long while now the Council have said the same thing.....even when the leasehold issues were to the fore....that never stopped the stand from being finished.

You're right though post-covid. There certainly is no business case in building up the stand now, as it will more than likely be empty for a good while yet. I'd guess that the bottom will have fallen out of the hospitality market, and again its difficult to provide hospitality and comply with social distancing requirements!
Furthermore, redevelop the surrounding land? For what? Again, hardly likely to be a queue of developers in the current climate.

The time for development was when the Cardozas were here, and look how that turned out! When KC and DB came along there was still the opportunity to do something, especially if it is the money spinner that it is often portrayed to be (i'm talking hospitality, boxes, conference facilities, hotel etc), but for whatever reason nothing happened.

The trust seems to come under more scrutiny than the owners. They're a group of volunteer supporters, doing their best for the club and therefore  their fellow fans. What's this evil motive people think they have? They waved through the last chairman who promised a new stand but didnt want to pay for it themselves. Remind me how that worked out?

This time they're asking questions and speaking to the council about their side of the story and getting nothing but flack and accusations of not representing the fanbase. It's a bit like when people sneered at the "we want answers" protests.

Remind me how that worked out?

I don’t think anyone has forgotten the in and outs of the whole miserable saga..

So we know the order in which KT & DB want to conduct business now. So if the council are ok with that, what has it got to do with anyone else? If they are not, they are big enough to say no.

Let’s all just let them get on with it... Please.

After years of just being a reader of this board, or in some cases the word 'bored' would be more apt, it just seems like everybody is going through the motions for the sake of it and getting nowhere slowly.
Some are asking if the Trust have the support or same goal as the wider fanbase, there's only one way to find out and that's ask.
On the subject of of the Trust, what happened during the meeting with KT? Have the trust board become a secret society, not trusting the members (like myself and many others on here) with either any information that was discussed, or just a summary.
In fact the club have not said anything either.
On the subject of the squad, and the early season critics, a lot on here have short memories of the title winning season under Chris Wilder. We didn't have the best of starts, the squad just pulled together as a team during the difficult times and gelled together like any football club in the world could ever dream of.

W e need a talisman to capture hearts and minds; at this stage of the season we have yet to find one. Oh! for a Holmes, JJOT or even a Goode!

That's very good news. Hopefully it marks the beginning of a more civil and fruitful relationship between both parties. It also appears to be without caveat or compromise on either side, so presumably KT & DB's plans aren't as heinous as some on here would make out.

Brilliant the Trust and the owners have been able to discuss and find a way of working together for the good of the club.

Amazing what can happen when people put the social media down and pick up the phone!

Good news, going forward as one.......

As above, the original proposal still saw the Council saying that the East Stand must be completed (with a £3m price cap) first before any further wider development commences.

The sticking point was around how the club/owners covered the outlay for the East Stand work...... it seems the Club and Trust have agreed on how this is achieved.

The ball is still in KT/DB's court......

This was how the "new deal" was originally reported.....

Thank you for the update GPC
It’s all very vague and I think a statement from the club regarding their intentions and plans is way overdue.
It’s all very well stating something has been agreed not to most supporters , the whole thing is very unclear .

This is great news all round, and in my opinion absolutely in keeping with what the support and the club want.

Let's hope this leads to further engagement between the Trust, it's members and the club. Well done to all.

You can’t make this stuff up.
