This is nothiig that I didn't already know - but to actually see it in print..! How can he live with himself All this "we nearly lost Portsmouth.... the FL worked and.. sleepless nights" bullshit is incredible. Please - aybody going to Sixfields on Sunday can you reconsider. We are in the...

Garry Thompson brace v WHU league cup semi Mark Hateley in 4-0 v Man City Ooh - and Tommo v Man City in 4-3 win

There will be a load of police at the station to intercept any potential fools, and keep people away from the town (miind you it is dead on Sunday anyway, so why bother). In the meantime those of us who live in the town are waiting for the backlash from locals when a few idiots decide to start...

Gibbo hatrick v Liverpool Peter Bodak chip at Maine rd in FA Cup (think it was goal of the season in 81/82) Robbie Keane v Arsenal (or his debut goals v Derby) Huckerby hatrick v Forest in 99 (?) Maybe a few Oggy saves thrown in Moldavan at Villa Whelan at Leicester in cup (left foot chip...

Old man came over from Dublin when he was 17 in 1948 and started going to see Cov. Watched them through til 88 when he died. Born and lived in Radford til I was 8 and left for some backwater called Northamptonshire. Still Cov through and through as are my Northampton born kids and nephew (and...

If we get a big cup draw then the locals will snap up the tickets. Northampton is full of Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs/Utd/Liverpool "fans" Ironic is Cov fans decided to go as a one off and couldn't get a ticket.

Milne - first one I remember and great footballing ethic regarding how we played (see semi final with WHU in 81), and Snoz for similar reasons, mainly team and work ethic though. Outside: Clough

The locals won't show any interest in this - most people in Northampton support the "big clubs" so will watch the Charity Shield down the pub. Cobblers have a smallish but loyal support, and these folk want no part of this fiasco. By the way I live in the town and know of only one Cov fan who is...

Agreed - anything at Sixfields is pointless unless it is properly organised with the support of Cobblers fans and with appropriate pre arranged media involvement - this is the job of the trust to organsie

A fair point - but difficul at the moment of ex pats to get our heads around it - you may well be right, but the key point really is that we have to demostrate a united front s it were. so if a new club was formed with best intentions I would support it I suppose. Incidentally - I lived in...

soz for the typos - a bit emotional at the moment

Agreed - if it transpires that we go out of business, then that is time to start a new club. At the moment we are still there so we have to deal with it one way or another - for those of us who don't live in Cov and haven't since the 70's in my case, CCFC is the only link with the city (which is...

Damn - wish I wore jamas - some spillage onthe sheets

Her's a thought - why not strike up some kind of accord with the Cobblers fans (they do have a Trust) and have some kind of protest with them against the whole set up. Otherwise we will all get braned as hoolies, and don't you think the police will have this covered at the train station and the...

I live 3 miles from Sixfields and know loads of Cobblers fans - I get the impression that NTFC is pretty much on the mark with the general view. It isn't their fans fault at all, as much as our plight isn't down to us. Also their Chairman doesn't appear to be universally popular wit the support...

The game in 77 was a proper game until the 80th minute when our state of the art score board flashed up the Sunderland result from Goodison. I had this crap on the youboysingreen Irish fans forum at the start of the year. By all accounts he is a decent enough guy, and he left it when I pointed...

Anyone pointed the linnk in the direction of Pat Murphy at the BBC yet? Midlands football correspondent who seems happy to ask the right questions. I am a non tweeter and can't find a direct email address.

Should be a fairly short snippet then.

First game 1-1 draw with Derby 1974/5. Willie Carr equalised a Roger Davies opener. Derby won the league that season. Moved from Cov the following week to dreary Northamptonshire. (Re Ginola when we beat Spurs 4-0 - dead right, best player on the pitch)

This now fully legitimises any bid by Haskell, as he can deal directly with the administrator; who have clearly told Sisu that they don't have leg to stand on. Ties up nicely with our owners suddenly deciding to publicise that they wish to now open negotiations about the Ricoh. Loong way to go...
