Contrary to popular belief, not everyone likes watching live football or even any football at all.
Those in and around Northampton that do, either make an effort and come and watch the Cobblers or, if you stand on Castle Station on any match day, you can see the rest that travel (an hour is not far in this day and age) to watch top flight football or even a level equal to or above our own. We do not have a monopoly on football watchers in Northampton (shire).
Agree with all of this. The whole Northamptonshire thing is nonsense too.... the likes of Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby all live much closer to Leicester (via public transport), than they do to Northampton.
