I've been contacted by a fellow Cobblers supporter who asked me if I have any record of this game. I don't. As Coventry weren't in our division that season, the timing of the game and the price of the ticket would all lead me to believe it was maybe a testimonial? Anybody recall the game?  |
It's all about balance.

Status Quo played there in May 1995, but there is no mention of a match between the 2 clubs on the date on the ticket

Strange timing for a testimonial too. Reserve friendly? |

At £5 entrance and the date in the season, it would appear to be a friendly in between the Saturday away games at Bury and Barnet...

Could just be my aging brain playing tricks on me, but was this the fixture that was arranged for the official opening of the stadium (even though that was months before!)?

No, that was Nottingham Forest. The official opening was conducted by "Tricky Dicky" from Eastenders  |

Think it was a preseason friendly, my only memory was that we broke Steve Ogrizovic‘s leg.

In April! was it a pre closed season type of game? |

Didn't see the small date which is different to the larger one above.  |

Didn't see the small date which is different to the larger one above. No, I didn't the larger date! I think Manny is correct - remember in the early days of Sixfields, Coventry City played a friendly and Steve Ogrizovic broke his leg! |

I went to the game. If I remember correctly it was billed as a thank you the fans. Someone must have thought Coventry would be a big draw.
In reality it was just a way of the club getting some extra cash.
