A very youthful 49. Father brought me to matches as a child when he finished playing himself.

I read this as "playing with himself" the first time.

I'm 60 but you wouldn't think so  Grin First match was against Brentford in 1961 , won 5-0 and was a regular from the following season and have been ever since.Missed a few home matches in the early 70's when I was playing football but bought my first ST in the 70's.Ive seen the Cobblers play a competative match on over 120 grounds and tomorrow will take me to 91 League grounds ,only Brighton left to visit. I've done the "92" a couple of times but with new grounds and teams its a challange every year.
I've got every Cobblers home and away programme from 1961 to date but if anyone has any pre 1961 programmes for sale please let me know. I've also been running the Earls Barton Cobblers coaches for 22 years ,we've had some great days out  but some of them have been spoiled by the football !

60.  First match was v Arsenal on 25th August 1965 with my Dad. My Grandparents lived in Ashburnham Road and they could guess what the score was from the the crowd noise! All down hill since then! I've always lived down south (Essex man!) so only manage 3/4 games a season, mainly away, usually at Southend and Dagenham at the moment.

I wouldn't worry. I only managed 3/4 of the game at Chesterfield.

Anyone want to own up to being Steve? Northampton Town fan, resident of Kent, and quite a bit better off.

I watched the last 20 minutes or so and realised he was a Cobblers fans when one question was "Watford gap was the 1st type of what in the UK?" He replied "I know this as I drive past Watford gap a lot following Northampton Town, the answer is motorway service station!"

He won the £10,000 jackpot and all 3 prizes. At the end Ben Shepard said that the money will help with the cost of following Northampton Town around the country
