Southend Away years ago. Some very p1ssed up Cobblers fan trying to read his programme whilst weeing into an overflowing trough urinal. Dropped his programme into the combined urine of a thousand Cobblers fans and watched it sink to the bottom.
Slurred “there’s only one thing for it” to which most people’s thoughts would be buy another one but no. Rolled his sleeve up, scooped it out and give it a good shake and wandered off trying to read the blurred words.

Boxing Day 1999- 2-2 draw made more bizarre by Buster Bloodvessel singing Lip Up Fatty on the pitch at half time next to a giant Shrimp.
Think Steve Howard was one of the scorers.

That season we had Corazzin, Howard, Forester and Wilson to choose from!

Uncle Albert was there that day too.

Grimsby away in our promotion season under Calderwood was quite special. Fans on the pitch, balloons released to celebrate promotion when they thought the final whistle had gone. Fans off the pitch, corner comes in, Cobblers score, Grimsby stay down  Grin
Wasn’t that funny outside afterwards 😉

Still think one of subs pinging balls at the Accy groundstaff at half time is up there

Groundsman gets narky, boots the ball over the open stand into the car park, losing a shoe in the process. Said shoe is retrieved by said sub and he launches it over the same stand, into the same car park to an immediate chorus of "Shoe Army!"

Maybe you had to be there....

They have to live there.

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

The chap in the wheelchair who joined in the pitch invasion was priceless.
From memory from my view in the north stand I remember a steward urging him to hurry up…..
Maybe I imagined that.
Top man anyway (the supporter not the steward)

This gets my vote. I can't remember anything funnier than when Gilligan scored. The icing on our promotion party.
As it turned out it didn't matter because Orient scored a winner at Oxford deep into injury time to take the third spot but they weren't to know that at the time.

A few of the above would have been on my list.
Singing "we're top and you dont know why" to Keith Curle at Carlisle in the Wilder year. Think even KT said he was laughing to it in the directors box.

I remember John Buchanan taking a throw-in with two balls, which, I seem to recall, resulted in two mini matches going on for five seconds or so before order was restored.

The Barnet player just randomly kicking our free-kick away when we hadn't touched the ball yet was pretty amusing.

Shamus not even fitting through the turnstiles at Sc***horpe was equally amusing.

For me its hands down Burton away in the FA Cup when they scored to make it 2-4 with about a minute of injury time to go and they put on their goal music which all of the Cobblers fans their simultaneously started to sing/dance to!  Grin

I remember an FA Cup replay against Telford in the early 1980s, one very wet evening in winter in Telford.

Before the game some Telford wannabee, dressed in all white Tachini, ran at us and tripped and fell in a large puddle. When he got up he was totally covered in brown mud..even his mates laughed at him..it was the first time I saw 'slunk away' in action..

Another time we played Brentford away in a night game, it might have been the league cup. I was living in London and met the Lumbertubs lot in London. After the game I said I knew the way to railway station..it was only when we got to start of M4 they realised I didn't..

I think they might have missed last train home..sorry Tim..
