One of my old girlfriends used to live in Northampton...and I have to admit I quite liked the place. It was a long time ago now, but I remember Abington being a decent part of town with some lovely Victorian architecture and a nice park.
It's also quite a large town (maybe slightly larger than Swindon). And given the size of the place, the only reason I could think of that the football team wasn't better supported was the presence of the rugby club just up the road.
Three points tonight please.

Population of Northampton is quite a bit bigger maybe 25-30,000 relative to Swindon, therefore their crowds should be quite a bit bigger. I wouldn't know if this was the case. As I don't take too much notice of The Cobblers. |

Shame about Vincent not making the starting line-up, but a consistent line up is good news again. |

Hope by that he hasn't swapped Smith to right back?

Anyone remember Northampton when they shared with the cricket ground ? The visitors seating was on a lorry trailer with seats in it and I recall down one side of the pitch there was wooden seating + the visitors terrace was below ground level ! Can't remember the score the year I went, as I went with the late lamented (and avid town fan) Cozy Powell in his Ferrari - so the match was always going to be an anti-climax  |

The old County Ground (Northampton) was a shit hole, the pitch used to get battered in bad weather with only having essentially 3 sides and that awful open terrace, I used to hate going there and never saw us win there in 3 attempts in the 80's.
I do not miss that place!

As long as he's fit for Yeovil. |

Wouldn't have been Sept 2001 been under Evans? He didn't go that early did he? |

Apparently King was back on 20 December 2001 (ready for his traditional first match against Notts County on 21st) |

Could have sworn it was King then in his first spell in charge, might be mistaken though  |
