Hi Everyone,

I am undertaking my dissertation on football fan violence of NTFC (or the lack of it) and your help would be much appreciated.

I would like to know, in your opinion, why there is such little fan violence amongst the supporters of The Cobblers, amongst each other and also with other team supporters?

Has there even been an issue with it, or is there just a good community vibe that follows the team? whatever it is that you think, please I'd like to know!

Many thanks Smiley

Strange choice of wording in 'why so little violence' as if it's something that's supposed to happen. In fact I had a debate last night with someone about police and social attitudes towards football supporters based on what happened 30 or 40 years ago, rather than three or four years back.

Really? I've never felt any attitude from police or socially for me being a football fan.

Police in the main treat football supporters as criminals in waiting. You only need to see the public reaction to a minor disturbance/problem to know that generally, society is stuck in the 80s with the police with regards to attitudes.

i agree you only have to see how when either  Burnley & Blackburn play the other away the away fans are made to travel in a bubble to & from the ground regardless where they live,

Tyler- to explain myself, what I meant (without going in to detail) is that through research it has been suggested that violence in lower leagues is becoming more common and frequent than of premiership league for example, however this is not the case with Northampton- do you have an opinion on this?

Similar reaction to a minor disturbance on a night out/music festival etc etc. Maybe I'm just used to a police presence! Personally I've never felt any issue with policing and especially never experienced any social attitudes.

Probably best to contact PC Nick Price who is the county officer for NORTHANTS. He has his own Twitter account too which is accessed on a daily basis.

Could maybe include Coventry City too as they now use Sixfields Stadium for home games. I know if in the interest for parties and the Police, the Police can take an observer (yourself) around with them on duties to see what action or their job role in entails etc

Would the authorities look kindly on a group of thousands of football fans gathering in a local park before a football match and marching to the game singing the teams "fight songs"? only in the U.S.A.  http://www.soundersfc.com/Matchday/March-to-the-Match.aspx

I can't remember the last time I saw any trouble at a game home or away.  Having said that, we've been that bored sh1tless with the style of "football" NTFC have been playing for the past 4 years that by the time it's finished we're too lack lustre to even taunt another fan.

If we win 4-0 tomorrow and feel a little jovial, perhaps we'll have a dance off with Plymouth fans in the burnt out carcass of the Washington Square.

When Wembley was out of action with the building works some years back, England played Northern Ireland at Old Trafford and before that game the Norn Iron fans marched out from the City centre to the ground. I'd guess about 2000 involved. Have some pictures from that somewhere but it was very good natured and Police were fine too. Even though we were thumped 4-0 the same good vibes continued after the game

what are people's views on Coventry City's new share of Sixfields stadium for a three year contract? do people think this was a good/ bad move? Have Coventry and Northampton fans had a good relationship in the past?

Coventry fans should be grateful that they have a ground to play in at all considering their situation but of course as they see themselves as a billy big balls club then they resent having to play in a smaller ground than they are used to. The relationship thing is that we haven't crossed paths that much in the past except for the time when we beat them in a cup game at the county ground, things got a bit lively on that occasion but I suspect that they have forgotten that now.
Was it a good or bad move then the answer is good for both clubs, we get some extra income and they get a ground to play in what could be bad about that?

Just because the arrest figures are relatively low it doesn't mean that it doesn't go on. Surely the better firms don't get themselves arrested?

I'd suggest you do some research on the NAT but I'm not going to tell you how to go about it.

Pop in a bookshop and take a look at Cardiffs Soul Crew book and see reference to Northampton. A bit of hooli porn.
