ACV position
The Supporters Trust has outlined its plan for the Asset of Community Value (ACV) land behind the East Stand at Sixfields Stadium.
The plan will yield up to £250,000 per annum investment benefit for infrastructure projects from a commercial development – the site can be flexed to be used as a fanzone on match days.
A more detailed plan – produced in conjunction with our joint venture business partner, a respected and established Northampton company – will be presented to first members and then the wider fanbase later this month.
The Trust has until 3 September to make a bid for the land to the freeholder, West Northamptonshire Council. Representatives recently met with the council chief executive, leader and senior officers to outline the Trust’s position.
