Wembley...Ten Years ago today!



Ten Years ago today we were packing up our lunches, pulling on the “Lotto” sponsored shirts and heading for the Twin Towers! To everyone that was a part of that incredible day, Happy Anniversary!

It’s strange how time passes so quickly without you knowing it. In the last ten years we’ve been on a roller coaster of emotions in the bottom two leagues of English football, battled against administration, been taken over after an SOS appeal and gone through endless debates about the future redevelopment of Sixfields Stadium.

Since Wembley there’s been ten different men at the helm (including caretaker managers). We’ve played 467 league games since that day, including playoffs, winning 173, drawing 123 and losing 171.

So today is a day for looking back and celebrating arguably the greatest day in the club’s history and looking at the photos that have been put up on the Cobblers’ official website today still gives me goose bumps, as does watching that winning goal over and over again!

Who knows if and when we will grace Wembley with our presence again but today I’m feeling very thankful that I got the chance to see us not only play there twice but to see us win there as well. Today is a chance to remember but to be honest, it will never, ever be forgotten!
