Come and meet some of the Cobblers stars of the 1970s!
As part of our 30th anniversary celebrations, the Supporters Trust will be re-uniting some of the players who loyally represented the club in a memorable decade for English football.
It wasn't the most successful period in Cobblers history, but the Bill Dodgin team was pretty good !
But for those who were there and immersed in the sights and sounds of the old County Ground, the decade still produced some fantastic memories - and some very good footballers!
If you would like to attend the event, please email us at ntfctrust1992@gmail.com - please state if you are a Trust or Club 500 member.
We will reply with further details about the event and how to go about getting tickets.
Attendance numbers are limited so please get in touch as soon as possible.
Tickets are £5 for Trust and Club 500 members and £10 for non members, this price includes a buffet !!

With any luck for all concerned, Phil Neal won't turn up -  I met him once in the hospitality area at Anfield and he's one of the most miserable, grumpy people I've ever met. I asked him to sign my programme (which he grudgingly did) and tried to engage him in a conversation about the Cobblers; he didn't want to know and was really rude. Considering he was only there to be a "face" people could talk to I thought it was a bit unnecessary.

I told my mate about it and he laughed and said he'd had a similar (but worse) experience some weeks earlier. My mate asked if he got back to Northamptonshire much and he said "yes, I was there last weekend actually."
"Oh," said my friend. "Did you have a good time?"
"Not really, I buried my mother" said cheery Phil, before turning around and wandering off, leaving my mate feeling pretty shìt for asking...

Rather unkind, he seems very supportive and considerate to me.
