Cobblers clear £20m debt through land sale near stadium
Summary

Northampton Town cleared £20 million in debt by selling land adjacent to their stadium. Former chairman Kelvin Thomas revealed the land was acquired by Neneside, a GRS Group company, after Sports Alpha Capital took over the club. The Brazilian investor group did not buy the development land but benefited from the transaction, which enabled the club to be debt free. Thomas noted that the land sale was part of a complex deal initially too complicated for the new owners. Planning permission for the development had been granted earlier this year.
