Crunch time for stadium plans


Northampton Town chairman David Cardoza has handed Cobblers fans a stark warning ahead of crunch meetings with the council in this weekend's match day programme.

Cardoza, writing in the notes for the Leyton Orient programme, said that the time is now for a decision to be made on Sixfields and that if it is not forthcoming it could threaten the veru future of the club.

The chairman writes, "As a club, we're determined to achieve our ambitions and make sure the town is not let down. But without the council on board there's no redevelopment and without the redevelopment there's no real future for Northampton Town Football Club; not that I can see anyway."

"It's now, or never. It's make or break time for the club and the council. It's cost me and my father £7 million to get to this stage over the last few years and we can't go on propping up the business without any hope of the club becoming self-sufficient through improved facilities."

"There's now no room left for further delays, no room left for warm words and yet no action," Cardoza continues, "We either jointly achieve something historic on behalf of the whole town, or we admit to the failure to achieve and suffer the consequences of that inaction."
