Sixfields Stadium will continue to have a similar appearance

Northampton Town's plans for redevelopment around their Sixfields ground have been dealt a blow.

Northampton Borough Council says it is unlikely that any retail development for the area will be agreed.

Anthony Collet from the Supporters' Trust believes it will be the fans that suffer as the redevelopment would have brought in new revenue to the club.

"It will mean more cost cutting and the people to lose out will be the supporters," he told BBC Northampton.

The ground has been Northampton's home since 1994, when they moved from the County Ground - which they shared with the Northants county cricket team.
