Trust update - September 2021

21st Sep 2021

Meeting with West Northamptonshire Council

Representatives from the Supporters Trust enjoyed a positive meeting with West Northamptonshire council leaders at a meeting earlier this month. Under discussion were the Trust’s concerns about Northampton Town FC owner David Bower’s plans for the East Stand and wider Sixfields land development. The Trust is still awaiting written answers to the 25 questions it asked about plans for the East Stand and wider Sixfields land development. The Trust has asked for answers in written form so they are clear, understood and on the record. A slide presentation has been sent to all councillors, the council’s executive team and West Northamptonshire MPs. The Trust discussed whether an infrastructure foundation, similar to one that has met with success at Scottish club Heart of Midlothian, was a potential way forward to improve the facilities at Sixfields stadium.
 

Football Conversation

The Trust will be engaging its members and other Cobblers supporters on this and other matters during a Football Conversation with fans next month. October has been earmarked for the presentation of the full report on football reform conducted by Tracey Crouch MP.

The Trust’s annual general meeting will take place in November, as is customary. Details will be sent to members in October – vacancies remain on the Trust board, any members interested in serving as a board member should contact board secretary Helen Hickman on ntfctrust1992@gmail.com Trust members should email the same address if they wish to attend a board meeting – the next meeting is scheduled, via Zoom, for Thursday 14 October at 7.15pm.
