Phil's match preview states that Town have never previously played at Sixfields. Now forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% certain that I've watched us play in a friendly there, so I can only assume that he means in a league or cup match. I'm not sure what year it was although I don't think the stadium had been built very long, maybe somebody with a better memory than me can shed some light? |  |

I had a feeling we might have played them in a friendly when I wrote that but couldn't recollect precisely when. I'll amend to competitive match! |  | | |

I’ve seen competitive match there.
Northampton v Exeter in the late 90s. The highlight was a half-time competition where a fan had to try and kick a ball into the boot of hatchback parked by the corner flag from the centre spot.
Fan stepped up and pinged it straight in to win the car. |  |

I vaguely recall seeing highlights on Anglia TV of us winning at their old (cricket?) ground sometime in the late 80s in the league cup. Graham Harbey era. |  |

Little open terrace in front of the remains of a main stand, got soaking wet, surreal looking across to a cricket pavilion in semi darkness beyond the far touchline. | | | |

I was there that night in the side stand. Unfortunately due to the stand next to it you couldn't see the bottom corner of the pitch. Mitch Davray scored a couple that night. | | | |

It was a great atmosphere from what I remember around about 8 or 9000 in the ground which for Northampton was a decent crowd. Trevor Morley scored early days for them with Harbey equalizing in the 2nd half. I seemed to remember we steam rollered them in extra time | | | |

If however get the chance the current cricket ground is delightful.
Got free tickets for England v South Africa A a couple of years ago and thought it was a charming place to watch cricket.
Tempted to go and watch the match tonigjt, there is a spot where you can see into about 3 quarters of the ground from outside the stadium but given the likelihood of us actually scoring in non existent it doesnt seem worth it. |  |

I don't think they ever found the missing £10m associated with the Sixfields development. The dodgy developers, Cardoza & Grossman, approached my local tennis club around that time with a redevelopment scheme involving indoor courts and some associated sheltered housing development. We did a little investigation & quickly showed them the door. |  |

They didn't.... Not sure if things have now ground to a halt there but there was some sort of attempt at a trial. No explanation as to where the money went though....in someone s pocket is about as close as they got | |

I was there too, sat in that marquee they had set up. A rope along the touchline with standing supporters lined up against it. It was truly 'unique' place to watch football. |  |

Many a time I have run round to the County Tavern to catch last orders, as I used to live about 3 minutes away for 2 years when I was there at college. Would often sneak in to catch the latter parts of some of their evening games too. I never saw Town play there though. |  |

Doubt that you thought ITFC would play a league game there |  |
