Winter Sports
“So, twelve home points out of twelve over the festive period and the club was flying up the table. My own team were also ‘pleased’ as we headed off for another night’s gritting!”
over the festive period and the club was flying up the table. My own team were also ‘pleased’ as we headed off for another night’s gritting! As I write this article on the
23rd January, Northampton have just moved into the third automatic promotion spot after winning 2-1 away at Aldershot.
The importance, from the club’s perspective, of getting both the Aldershot and Burton home games on was huge. Both games were played on a Saturday, where a larger attendance was received (than would have been for a re-arranged mid week game in February or March), there was no break in cash flow and, fortunately, the team capitalised on the momentum and got precious points in the bag. The team will hopefully also benefit from not having to play lots of additional games in the run in to the end of the season, when their rivals will.
It’s times like these when I
like to pay tribute to the club for trusting my judgements. Where purse strings remain tight, they listened and paid heed to my advice and spent the money required. There were around forty
fixtures cancelled in the Championship, League 1 and League 2 on those two Saturdays alone. Now, we have a small
break with the pitch and the thaw is on. Looking back, this has been a really tough period for us as we’ve had to juggle so many requirements with different clients for varying reasons. We always try and plan well in advance, and I think that’s been crucial in succeeding through this period of extreme weather.
At this point, I’m now really looking forward to, and ready for, spring!

Town. This was the start of a new era, Northampton Town Football Club moved to Sixfields Stadium and a capacity crowd on Saturday 15th October 1994 witnessed the first match at the new Stadium, a 1-1 draw with Barnet. The first player to score at the new stadium was Martin Aldridge.
The 2002-3 season was little over a month old when the club was forced to launch a ‘Save our Season’ campaign in a bid
to see out the remainder of the year. The SOS appeal was required after the collapse of ITV Digital. Supporters rallied and managed to raise over £230,000 to keep the club afloat with a string of fundraising events.
Today, the club play in Division 2 of the Football League and, at the time of writing, are in the third automatic promotion slot.
