Cheaper, but definitely not cheap!
I thought we would make light work of this allocation but I don't blame anyone who gives it a miss at £29.
£22! Cheaper than Sixfields!

Nearly all the cheap seats have gone (block behind goal that had to be sold first) got two from about the last five today.
That means the slightly higher, corner block will go on sale next - though at a higher price!

I don't think Goodluck Jonathan is making the starting XI at Derby anyway!
In respect to tickets being sold - complete red herring and completely wrong to think that is some indication! I bought Derby ticket weeks ago when they became available. Chap in ticket office made it clear then that it could be postponed - which had no bearing whatsoever on whether I purchased or not...I'm not really too scared of the dark!

Fuçking hell Hoskins is the new NHS, you can’t criticise him, he’s been garbage since he came back from injury, he’s doesn’t look fit to me and should have come off at half time.
You forgot virtue signalling Cobblers clapping him (not Thursdays) and getting their kids to put rainbow 🌈 pics in the front window thanking him for all his work!

I'm back in the squad tomorrow... But here's the thing I finish work at 3;30pm and will be at a loose end in Northampton until kick off- save for a quick visit to my parents (to park!). Any suggestions - bearing in mind I am driving.

Think we play them tomorrow?
So my preview. Blackpool play in orange but of course like everyone these days (to the annoyance of fans) will probably play in some light blue number!
Despite us winning that night at Blackpool (couldn't see it in a million years travelling up!) the Tangerines I still believe were one of the slickest teams we've faced.
Blackpool isn't as much of a sh*thole as it once was, but is hovering dangerously in the sh*tholes of the seaside zones...Lytham St Anne's very much aside. The referee tomorrow night is...sorry, no idea!
Cobblers 1 - 3 Blackpool. Att: 6,088 (677 Pool)

I think this could all be sorted out behind the bike sheds at lunchtime.
Only fourteen occasions in the last fifty years have issues been sorted out successfully behind the bike sheds. Jon Brady is currently 13.4% behind...zzzzzz

Everybody is allowed an opinion. On team, manager, chairman, etc, etc. But what you do is say what you "think" someone else is alluding to without ever having any proof whatsoever. I've asked you this before, yet to get an answer. What are these people you accuse supposed to gain? What are they after? You say they have an agenda, what is that agenda? What are they trying to achieve?
Your accusation that people were rejoicing at the Cobblers getting beaten at Peterborough is absolute drivel. No Cobblers supporter would do that, how could they because if they did, they wouldn't be a Cobblers supporter now would they?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are nothing but a s*** stirrer.
Hundreds of the fcukers to the left to be fair!

To be fair Rob some of the songs can be tiresome, but haven't they always been to someone ? I'm sure some of the stuff you sang in the 80s was not looked on favourable. Also when I joined in in the 70s with " You're gonna get you're f##king head kicked in "
"I was born under The Hotel End where knives were made for kniving guns were made to shot..."
and "You're going home in a f##king ambulance "
I'm sure they were frowned upon by the older generation. If a particular song is popular it will carry on, if not it will fade away.
You're going home in a...had some bite - as does everything from Fortune's always hiding to Fields of Green or even Chelsea, Chelsea... Adi adi adio belongs at a kindergarten birthday party ffs!

If I was a Charlton supporter I would have left the ground perplexed as to how we had not taken the 3 points. We had several chances to clear the ball before they scored their early goal but failed to do so and although Charlton were not that good they moved the ball around better than we did and we misplaced so many passes. Alfie May should have scored when he hit the woodwork and at least twice the ball came across our box and only needed a touch to increase their lead whereas we were creating nothing. The defence kept us in the game and after being gifted the equaliser we suddenly came to life. You have to remember that Charlton have conceded more goals than most this season and in 17 away games had only kept 1 clean sheet yet their defence barely broke sweat keeping us at bay. Simpson won very little ball and Bowie was not effective as he usually is. We were gifted the goal yesterday, we were gifted both goals at Burton and in the last 3 games we have only had a total of 7 shots on target. I think Hoskins has to be in the starting 11 at Peterborough with Bowie replacing Simpson down the middle, both times Hoskins has come off the bench he has been instrumental in winning us equalising goals.
I think this is a little harsh on us. You said their defence hardly broke sweat - I would say that Sherring, Brough and Guthrie, as well as Moulden dealt with anything they threw at us quite comfortably. I don't see how hitting the side netting is any different from Alfie May hitting the bar! Regarding Charlton's leaky defence throughout the season - quite clearly since Nathan (throw your team or anyone but yourself under the bus) Jones came in, Charlton are a very different proposition to even when we won there a month or so ago! Very even, end to end game in my book. I did say beforehand, could see a 1-1...though less so until the 80th minute yesterday!

Have thought all along that this has 1-1 written all over it. However, all season, if I can't get the usual seats at the very back of the West, have gone for row A - the very front! Had to sit at the front for Posh, Oxford Utd and Bristol Rovers. What do those three results have in common? I'm on row A for Charlton Athletic.

Or Brewery tap, good beer and a bit further away from ground so easier to get in.
The easy to get in or not has it appears gone over your head in respect to Charters... It's a grain barge moored on the Nene with a great array of ales. If any coming by train, the (Oakham) Brewery Tap is yes, convenient!

I like these reviews of what someone ate or didn't eat at half time...nothing mentioned on the experience of going for a piss! National Pub of the Year (again) Tamworth Tap was great...me and the other half managed to get in!
