We always said that nothing would be decided in the first leg on Saturday night and that is exactly where we are. Both teams will come in to this tie this evening looking to progress, the tie is finely balanced and it is all to play for this evening.

The first leg was a close, hard fought affair that swung one way and then another and that is what we are expecting again tonight. Your support in what will be a very tough match will be hugely appreciated. We took a big following to Mansfield on Saturday and you made yourselves heard all evening. Thank you for that support, we need all of that and more coming from three sides of Sixfields this evening!

Your support has been hugely influential all season, Having had to play a season behind closed doors last season really highlighted the impact your support has, and the superb backing we have received not just at Sixfields but up and down the country over the last ten months has been a vital part of our season. We need that support tonight as much as ever and I know you will be us every step of the way.

Together, we have much to be proud about this season. To finish with 80 points, just four points off the top of the table, to have won 23 league games and to have formed such a strong connection between players, the club and the supporters makes us all very proud. When we held a Fans Forum with the It’s All Cobblers To Me podcast at the start of the season, the one thing we promised was a team that gave everything and would hopefully make the supporters proud. I think we have achieved that and we have been lucky to have some fantastic support this season, both home and away. Thank you all for that support.

Congratulations to the Northampton Town Women who have achieved promotion and a league title win. It has been a fantastic season for the side and continues their progress from recent seasons. All of us at the club are very proud of the progress the female football programme continues to make here at Northampton Town.

Thank you to our sponsors this evening, Jackson Grundy, AM Water Services Ltd, Midland Scaffolding Services, J Sweeney Accountants, the Lane family and EasiServ.
