I guess the cost of a main stand would be significantly higher because of all the additions that come with knocking it down and rebuilding. The structure that we currently have (whilst being crap and extremely limiting) is already paid for, so no cost of the steel structure or demolition of an...

Completely agree. Although our attendances have never really pushed capacity on a week to week basis we can easily sell out for the bigger games. We should have a big catchment area as the surrounding big towns like Kettering / Wellingborough / Rushden no longer have any sort of professional...

Not sure sadly, dont think it has been announced yet but imagine it will come out at some point / the accounts will make it clear eventually. Ah ok makes sense. Still a way away from building up capacity then? Tbf its one game I always get to is Pompey away as im from the IOW and go and see...

Yeah cant disagree with that. Out of curiosity why has yours been so much? Due to the poor state it was in prior to the works or is that the amount needed annually for up keep? We have been running at around 90% attendance capacity this season. The new stand definitely helps us in getting to...

Not really fussed about Saturday, just want to avoid any crazy injuries on the last game of the season. Would be nice to finish mid table but honestly im not overly fussed. Do you get more money for finishing higher up the table? I know you do in the premier league but not sure if the same...

So we finally have some concrete plans for the embarrassment that is our East Stand. https://www.ntfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/east-stand_cgis_plans/ Its way better than we have now (which is basically nothing) and looks professional, definitely helps us generate more revenue, its still...

With one game left?! Is there an obvious candidate who is going to help them out from within the club? I didnt realise they were in danger of missing the playoffs. Lucky for them we have nothing to play for so are very much there for the taking Curious as to whether they appoint someone...

Which 4 of your squad would you currently say is championship quality? Seems a bold claim for a side coming from League 2.

Yeah I dont think its unreasonable to think that a promoted team can hold their own here, ourselves, Orient and Stevenage being prime examples. Looking at us we kept the vast majority of our squad from our L2 campaign and still have had a very successful season. I think utilising the loan...

I mean I guess its good news right? More money for the clubs in the EFL and greater exposure which is way overdue. It was pathetic the level of coverage L1 & 2 got, non league had way more televised action on TNT. The only concern is what time slots they provide seeing as the 3pm blackout...

Im very much in agreement on Appere. Only reason I think he will stay is that with Simpson and Bowie going back and Hylton being out of contract it would leave us with no strikers on the books. He mentioned he was in talks with the club so think he will end up staying, we need at least 2 new...

Going to get sick of writing this but for the majority of this the decision is going to come down to, can you stay fit for more than 5 games at a time. So many players have been injury prone that its meant we have a lot of players in defence in particular, a lot of tough decisions for Brady...

I think you will scrape over the line. Conditions were terrible on Saturday for our game against Carlisle but there did not appear to be a huge amount of urgency or fight in the team. I mean they were all but down anyway, but still it appears it may just be a case of limping their way to the end...

I was shocked by how bad Burton were when we went to there place a fair few weeks ago. I think they had only recently appointed Paterson at that point but it was incredible how poor they looked. Their pitch was dreadful as well but they were just absolute hoofing it aimlessly with no real...

Unbelievably the main issue, what happened to all the money and the legal ramifications from it all being misappropriated is still 'ongoing' as far as I am aware. The issue around the MP was resolved recently, he was found not guilty of failing to disclose the source of political donations. Its...
