Happened to be walking through Canterbury at the weekend (Sunday to be precise) and saw a chap in the new home kit walking along. Certainly not where I expected to see a Cobblers fan, and it got me wondering if anyone has seen or met a fellow supporter in a far flung corner of the world?
Besides the bloke at the weekend I can boast meeting one or two fellow Cobblers whilst I was at university in Sheffield.

Theres a Turkish and Brazilian NTFC twitter pages, but they could almost certainly be one man jobs.

My old man lives near there, comes up most home games, not sure if he has the new shirt though so must be more cobblers fans down there.

I was at a beach bar in Goa after a rave at about 5am and a man in a toga (yoga teacher) walked past and to my surprise came up and said "f*** off is that a Northampto n town shirt". He hadn't been back in 15 years but grew up in Duston 🤣😂🤣😂

I saw a guy wearing a Cobblers shirt on a beach in West Cork, Ireland a few years back, he told me his brother lived in Northampton.

It's not quite on topic, but close enough I reckon!
I met a Bristol Rovers fan in a hostel in Goa in 2013 and we bonded over lower league fandom. Bumped into the same bloke in Bangkok 3 months later and lent him some money as he'd just had his wallet nicked.
Three years later, during Euro 2016, I was in a bar on a campsite near Saint-Étienne. This same guy approaches out of nowhere and puts a beer in front of me to pay me back!

Was in Shanghai about 2 years ago and was proudly wearing my Cobblers shirt when I literally bumped into another wearing exactly the same attire. We both pointed at each other, laughed, and then went for a beer together in the nearest bar!! He was from Duston but living in Shanghai working for a British bank who had a branch there. My son who also lives in Shanghai told me that he had spotted a Cobblers shirt being worn in Beijing when he went there.

Not quite a fan as such but, back in 97 whilst on holiday in Florence, saw a Cobblers pennant hanging outside the entrance of a bar - along with other clubs to be fair. Of course entered, to discover it was the Torino FC Firenze branch of their supporters club - my two clubs! Kinda regret though, swapping the iconic 97 Cobbs Lotto shirt (which he hung up in the bar) for a Torino scarf!
Having returned some years later to Florence, couldn't find the bar again - so no idea if it's still around!

I recall being in NYC. I was actually in Time Square, with my Cobblers shirt on. Some bloke came up to me, and couldn't believe it...turned out he also lived in Rushden. Season ticket holder.
I've also had the pleasure of meeting our Sri Lankan Cobblers fan whilst on holiday there, and presenting him with a signed shirt. Totally surreal moment.
I was also once on holiday in Lanzarote when my step son came running up to the table with the news he had spotted a lad with a Cobblers shirt on in our hotel. Of course I had to go and have a chat with him lol.
Were here, were there...were...

Was he short bald and poor? It may have been me.

Plenty of us here in MK, so often see a few shirts around town.
Did see another guy with a Cobblers shirt in Antalya last year but didn't manage to go and have a chat with him.

I live in Camden, travel back for every home game (only 1 hour train and 1 stop from Euston!) and make 50% if not more of the away games!
