Northampton Town Chairman David Cardoza has admitted that new plans for the East Stand at Sixfields means there will be restricted view seats.
The Northampton Chronicle is reporting that supporters are not happy with the plans for the stadium which looks likely to be hosting Coventry City matches once more unless, there is a dramatic change in events or SISU take the offer to rent the Ricoh Arena for the next few years, made to them by campaign group Keep Cov In Cov.
“We fully appreciate and accept this is not ideal,” said Cardoza to the Northampton Chronicle's Jeremy Casey .
“Whereas the original plan generated enough money to have boxes running all down the side of the stand, the new plan doesn’t.
“So, while the middle part of the stand has the boxes and lounges, we have room for seating towards each end.
“The only way to change that is to build boxes all the way along, or to put seating above the boxes. Both have cost implications and as we do not have a limitless pot of money, either option is out of our reach without compromising somewhere else.
“They will be sold last, when the rest of the ground is sold out, and clearly sold as restricted view.
“There are a number of stadia that have the same situation, some of them modern international sports stadia.
“We believe it is better to be able to offer a restricted view seat than no seat at all.
“We appreciate the floating supporter may well be the ones to buy those seats, but then we believe it is better to have a restricted view seat to sell that supporter than no seat at all.”
