*currently fact-checking based on probability you have them confused with Norwich or someone*

Please can you fact check if Venky's own Blackburn Rovers? Finger's crossed I have got that one wrong too.

In theory an 'easier' fixture, but and it is a big but we have seemingly dropped most of our points against the struggling teams.

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

I expect Dack and whoever is upfront to score a bagfull on Saturday... Northampton concede plenty it seems, although they score plenty as well to be fair.

Having a look at their last couple of results they lost 32-15 away and 43-32 at home so it should be a decent ... ... oh wait, no... erm... that's the rugby team.

 

(Sorry Philipl, couldn't resist!  )

Very good!

Are we split across two stands in this one again, I have just purchased my tickets and they appear to be in a different section to the 'away end'?

[Mattyblue]

We are behind the goal and down one of the sides.

When I got mine I was given the option of buying them in the Family Stand. I presume it is this.

I hate this! But hopefully the line to get beer will be shorter.... that is if they serve it....

They've got a thread for the game up here but not for the one on Saturday. Some great 'jokes' about Gas Lights though

[benhben]

Graham deserves a start after two goals in two games and give some hold up play up front. Samuel to use his pace in the second half. 

                            Raya

Nyambe Downing Mulgrew Williams

               Smallwood Tomlinson

 Conway                Dack               Antonsson

                             Graham

It's a bit rich when it comes from a club known as the cobblers. Maybe our gas lights will make them feel at home.

It is but someone somewhere is going to get a hiding when we actually do play well for more than 20 minutes!

The stand behind the goal holds 800, so just over 600 will be in the side stand.

Sorry to be a pain, but I don't suppose anyone knows of any spare tickets for the game? went to buy them online this morning but apparently, the online allocation had sold out? Thanks in advance!

Contact the club shop asap tomorrow and ask them to put you on a waiting list incase anyone returns their tickets, I'd say that there's a good chance you will get one.

Posted earlier in this thread that you can register on the Northampton club’s site, order tickets in their West Stand with collection on the day of the game.

It's s nice change to read about fans having a buzz again coupled with the Fleetwood game selling out also.

I agree with that even though I'm less than convinced by a couple of those. Problem is the possible replacements aren't shining either.

Strange not to have a mid week fixture, for the first time since start of November.

Obviously would love a win, but keep picking up points.

4 festive fixtures (Northampton away, Rochdale home, Scunthorpe home, Rotherham away)

12 points - Dream land

10 points - Super Return

9 points - Good Return

8 points - Minimum requirement if we're hoping for top 2 finish

7 points - Disappointing but not fatal

6 points - Very disappointing, but maybe playoffs

<5 points - Very poor

0 points - Disastrous.......darling

[JHRover]

Win the next 3 and then I'll shake hands on a point at Rotherham.

[philipl]

A thumping win would perk up interest for fans going to the Boxing Day game.

There are 3 ex-Rovers, a current Dingle filth bag and an ex-Accy player in the Cobblers squad. Can you name them without cheating?

I know Marc Richards is there, wouldn't have a clue of the others though without looking it up.
