Sunday January 13th 2002

The Cobblers 2-2 QPR
After Roy Hunter was dismissed in the 6th minute and the visitors lead 2-0 in the 22nd minute, a hammering looked on the cards. An amazing comeback happened with 13 minutes to go, Derek Asamoah scored yet another brilliant goal and Sam Parking snatched a point with two minutes left.

The Cobblers 1-0 Bury
Who would have thought that Bury would have attracted the biggest Sixifelds crowd of the season? A James Hunt goal in the second half, wins another thrilling six pointer and keeps the Cobblers out of danger for the time being. Three days later it's a different performance at promotion chasing Reading, a backs to the wall 0-0.
Saturday 6th April 2002
The Cobblers 4-1 Wycombe Wanderers
Usually a tight fixture, but a second half rampage including two Chris Hargreaves goals, gibe Town another massive victory. Another three points would ensure safety.
Saturday 13th April 2002
Bury 1-3 Colchester United
Whilst the Cobblers were getting hammered at Wigan, Colchester United done us a massive favour. You make your own luck in football and this compensated for the amount of games this season where Northampton Town won more friends than points.
Every credit goes to the players and not least Kevan Broadhusrt for this fantastic achivement. Sky Sports said that the team that is bottom of the Premiership never survives! It must be harder in the Nationwide League and Northampton Town done it with a game to spare.
One game to go - let's enjoy it!
See you at Sixfields on Saturday!
