[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 370003, member: 12332"] Sainsburys actually. They've ironically just been approved an extension at their Weedon road site no more then 500 yards up the road. It a complete farce: - The NBC don't want developments that aren't directly in the town centre - Legal and General run roughshot over the town because they effectively own the Grovesnor Centre but are refusing the re-development (a project which has so far been dragged out for 15 years) - The NBC won't give any indication if the development will be approved but insist that the club put forward the application (which will cost almost a million pounds) - Despite that, they are adamant that Asda won't be approved - Instead of selling the land to Asda for the funding, the NBC insist that Saints should take a loan out to pay for the extension Copy paste all of that for the Cobblers, exchanging "Franklins Gardens" for "Sixfields" and "Asda" for "garden centre". Absolute ******* wankers. The best part is they're ignoring the £1.5m the local economy will miss out on come the Ulster game because they stonewalled the issue over 18 months ago. The development was originally due to be completed by Halloween last year. [/QUOTE]
