So the most cobblers thing to do in this game would be to put in the performance of the season and win right.

Perhaps JB should have a word the Sutton manager who only lost 0-1 to Brum yesterday (again Leonard did not get on the pitch).
Looking at Brum's league results this season they have not scored more than 3 goals in a game until ........

I was going to this but can't now as I haven't a ticket. I'm not too upset though, truth is at my age, I was never going to complete the full set of seeing the Cobblers at every other League club. Maybe one of you youngsters will manage it?

It's all about balance.

We have only every played Birmingham 4 times in our history surprisingly. So this is only the 3rd opportunity for Cobblers fans to visit St. Andrews, which is one of the reasons I am going to tick it off and secure the 79th ground I have seen the Cobblers play a competitive fixture at.
Last time we played there was in 1989 when Bobby Barnes made his debut for us IIRC, in a 4-0 defeat, ironically a few weeks before we played Kettering in the cup! I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a similar scoreline this week.

I was there, it was standing at the other end of the ground. |

Bobby Barnes made his debut at an away friendly at Petersfield which was part of the deal that brought Darren Collins to us. I had a good chat with him in the bar after the match. |

*Competitive debut then* Why were we playing a friendly at that time of the season? Collins signed in January 1989, Barnes in October 1989. |

I was there for the Boxing Day fixture 1966 - 2nd division on the way back down. I was 11 and all I remember was Trevor Hockey. |

I was there too. I think Frank Large made one of his many debuts! |

I've only been to St Andrews once before, I was in the Southampton end for a 0-0 draw that saw Brum relegated and Saints finish second to Loserpool in 1984. The pitch invasion afterwards got a 'bit fruity' |

I don't know. Managing minutes, keeping players sharp during an international break, because they promised? Not sure really, but they did and I was one of two Cobblers faithful there if we discount the coach driver. |

Any sensible pub suggestions on the walk from New Street to St Andrews?

I think someone should just take this city of Peterborough and just... just flush it down the f***in' toilet

About ten doors down from my house! I’ll have to ask him when I see him next.
