A very youthful 49. Father brought me to matches as a child when he finished playing himself.
Only came occasionaly for many years, but now the mortgage has finished, the kids are grown up, and the hospital let me out unattended, I have had a season ticket for the last four years.

42 and three quarters.  First game against Brighton & Hove Albion in at the start of the season when we got promoted to Division 3 after THAT Championship winning season - band wagon jumper.  Tricky Trevor Morley scored.  Eddie ran down the wing a lot and Rambo used to kick people.

I've never had a season ticket, but have only lived full time in The Rose of the Shires for five years of the twenty six year that I have been going to games.  I have been to Sixfields this season (JP Trophy game) which is quite a rarity for me.

Going to Rotherham on Saturday.

Favouritest ever player - Larry.

I'm 47. My first ever game was the last game of the 75/6 promotion season - a 4-0 thumping of Stockport with goals from Don Martin and a Paul Stratford hat trick.
I went with my uncle Alan and stood on the Spion Kop and went sporadically until the 86/7 championship year and have been to almost all home games since.
My daughter who is now 14 started coming with me aged about 5 and is also a  diehard claret Cheesy

I'm 67, unfortunately I now live down Sarf so don't get to many home games but get to games at Gillingham, Barnet, Dagenham, Southend, Wombles no problem. Also, it's easy to keep up with all the news on here and NTFC web site, Player etc. I obviously grew up watching Cobblers win most games as they went through Div. 4 to 1, then I left N'pton and they obviously couldn't do without my support.  Grin
Best memory though is still 10,000 going to P*sh at London Road in our div. 3 promotion year and walloping them 4-0. Kiernan running rings around George Eastham at Highbury wasn't bad either.

54.

My first game was Feb 1972, lost 2-3 to Lincoln City, my best mates dad took us, he was a season ticket holder at the time.

Was on and off according to circumstances (and how well Cobblers were doing tbh) until Christmas 1992 and have hardly missed a home game since and been a ST holder since we moved to Sixfields. (Not sure whether to add a smiley or sad face here.)

I was surprised that Everbrite is so mature, I'd had him down as enthusiastic youth - late teens.

Yes, although it wasn't the ground it is today. Held about 40,000.

I was fifteen at the time. Went on the train from Wolverton for free as my dad worked for the railway at the time.  Always remember it as Bobby Charlton was my all time hero and scored a hatrick.

I also have seen all 4 games against Man Utd, went to Old Trafford on a coach from Wollaston.

I've been supporting the Cobblers since around the age of 8 years old. Had a 10th birthday party at the club and now I'm 21, still a Cobbler!

54. First games brought by friend of neighbour called Steve Riches on back of his m/bike – so I thank him or not?!!  Regular fan for few seasons then travelled world with military. Too busy playing the game to watch and completely missed Carr era! Returned to town 1996 (what timing!) and been STH ever since. Now work at club for past few months in Group Tickets organising kids / youth football (Penalty shoot-outs, pre-match tournos at Goals, etc - see “Who’s Who” post). Maybe best job in world?

27, been a Cobbler since around the age of 15-16. Before that, I mistakenly did what a lot of youngsters do and followed a prem team (Liverpool, god knows why). Saw the light when I went to my first Cobblers game, which I think was against somebody like Grimsby, although im not entirely sure!

Luckily, ive managed to brainwash my 6 year old already. He thinks Bayo is the greatest player in the world, and if he had the choice of Sixfields or Old Trafford, it would be Sixfields every time :-)
