Anyone know what the prize money is for our 3rd place finish? I have heard that each player will get unlimited supply of 7up and driveway of their dreams made out of the finest coble stone.hehe

Doesn't make sense to me. If you are a supporter of any team and a football fan, you have to be able to grasp that if you are already down and will lose most of the players that let your club down, there is no choice but to play the kids and the genuine older heads to give you a chance of coming back up. Its easy to say as the Gas are up, but its just the way it is. Someone said on here somewhere, look at how not one player did any stupid celebration's but picked the ball out of the net immediately to re start the game asap. There are few teams in any league that would be able to hold back that desire to score File it Northampton fans, and take a leaf out of Scunthorpe's book and concentrate on building a team for the next game and the future where ever that happens to be. You're not 100% correct there, I distinctly remember Anderson celebrating his goal! That was me, on the uploaded videos thread. Agree the seventh was celebrated, but I was referring Mainly to the first few goals where there was a real “this goal means nothing unless we score another x goals” attitude and a focus to crack on with the job. By the seventh, at that time x=0 and so I think it was permissible . 😀

It's similar to our situation last season, who would you choose to play last season, a team of tobacco smoking people stealing a living as footballers of the likes of Martinez? I can't remember anybody complaining about the teams we were putting out last season. That is a bit uncalled for, and downright wrong. You should issue an apology.I can guarantee you Pablo does not and has never smoked, (or used "Snus" which is akin to chewing tobacco). He is one of the most dedicated footballers I have ever looked after. When he came on against Oxford, just like all the younger players, worked his balls off, and looked what happened. Like any other player, if the manager chooses to play them out of position, then it takes game time to adjust, unfortunately he has never been afforded that game time. Ops, sorry I meant to type "or the likes", not "of the likes", Martinez was clearly one of the youngsters we were playing instead of the chewers. It's never really been made clear why he fell out of favour with JB given that he raved about his performance last season.

Anyone know what the prize money is for our 3rd place finish? I've always found it strange how you don't get a trophy for finishing second or third but if you win the play offs you do.

Overall I get the Cobblers sentiment. But they are going disrespectfully far with it. For instance- there bemoaning a keeper that saved 1/2 the shots on target. Saying he looked sh**, actually the lad had an alright game. By contrast it looks like the Barnet keeper saved nowt. 4 shots on target and 3 goals? There were a couple of duffers. But until half time they were in the mood to spoil the party. Dribbling the ball away for freekicks and the keeper almost got booked for time-wasting. They wanted to wreck it. We just knew 7 might be enough so that's what we did. We were always likely to get 5-7 goals because we knew we had to. If they had fielded (Strongest) players who had got them relegated through the season , Rovers would have had 7 by half time. Given how poor they were when we played them away, I don’t disagree with that. It was a travesty that we only won that 3-2 as we played them off the park until we inexplicably got the wobbles late on. Having Pitman and Clarke on the field at the same time admittedly didn’t help!

How we didn't score 7 that night I'll never know, was a weird night all round, you enter through a supermarket car park, should have scored a hat full but nearly ended up dropping points and did anyone else get frisked by an elderly tranny? Lovely bloke mind, apparently they're talking of building a new ground but that one seemed perfect for them and must be one of the easiest grounds to get to with a massive car park too.

Think Exeter did get a trophy for finishing second, so 1st, 2nd & one of 4th to 7th get one but 3rd don't - go figure!

The play-offs is a mini end of season cup competition where the prize is promotion. You have a final at Wembley, you need a trophy to lift

Just read some of the cobblers forum.Blimey,the keepers getting some terrible stick,the only goal he might have done better with was Aaron Collins first but to blame him for the Evans free kick goal is mental,no keeper is saving that and it’s not the first time Evans has scored a goal like that so those opposing keepers must have been children as well according to Northampton logic.

About time they started worrying about Saturday.

Lovely bloke mind, apparently they're talking of building a new ground but that one seemed perfect for them and must be one of the easiest grounds to get to with a massive car park too. We were with the home supporters, purely because my son is young and I thought it’s a bit safer/less intimidating to start with as it can be hostile the reception you get from home fans. We’ve done that for all the away games we’ve gone to but he’s desperate to go in the away end next time we see the Gas, though because of the scenes he’s witnessed! We will do from now. We were sat right by the tunnel/Rovers dugout and it was great. We stayed behind afterwards and clapped the players off and spoke to a few of them. Nicholson was particularly nice with my son and it was funny to think that just after that he went into the dressing room and got a rollicking from this teammates (as confirmed by Barton post-match) about not closing down a cross that led to one of their goals! I agree about the ground. Although it’s a bit of a bizarre setting, it’s perfect for what they need and I don’t see why they need to move.

Jesus, they’re still going on. One of them just said the play-offs should be suspended until an investigation has taken place 😂
