I think it will affect the away attendance. Cobblers fans won’t be getting home till eleven-ish. Just noticed they have been allocated 300 seating tickets and 500 terrace tickets. I assume we can give more seats if needed but not sold out yet (maybe 50 remaining). Has the block behind the goal been available to buy tickets (currently none available for STs or Northampton) surely we arent leaving 2 blocks empty for segregation. The others are pretty much sold out now. |

Where’s it been said that Taylor’s not fit? When he’s played 2x 60 minutes. he's been coming back from surgery and hasnt played 90 yet, so a good chance he wont be risked on Saturday. I'd personally play a 90% fit taylor over Wilson. Havent seen enough of Forbes to comment Didn't Forbes spend the whole game on Saturday on the bench, if so, then it seems unlikely MT will then start him this Saturday? The worry is that he gave Wilson a full game to get him ready for Saturday! |

The worry is that he gave Wilson a full game to get him ready for Saturday! Taylor spent the whole game on the bench as well didn't he? It was a different team to the one that played Plymouth. Only the keeper and striker started both and that's mainly, because we didn't have other options for those positions. So I think it's hard to predict, what is Taylor's first choice team at the moment. |

I make it that out of the last 3 times out of 4 we didn't lose our opening fixture, Portsmouth, Sunderland & Wimbledon, the manager them failed to make it until the end of the season, JB, BG & PB!! Only DC managed it after drawing with Grimsby.
I wonder what MT is hoping we do on Saturday 🤔

Looks like half a block of the south stand, behind the goal nearest the away fans has just gone up for sale. Assume the Cobblers didnt request more seats.
Get them quick, not many.

Still plenty of tickets left on the terraces, can’t see us getting anywhere near 10k.

Cobblers squad hit by illness bug ahead of opening game according to the Northampton Chronicle Sounds like a preemptive media measure to soften the blow if they lose and big up the performance if the result is a win or a draw. Apart from their three known injury absentees I doubt whether their anticipated starting XI will be altered by the bug. |
