Northampton face a trip to Macclesfield Town at Moss Rose on Saturday evening, determined to keep up their impressive record at the venue, having come through the challenge on 2 of the previous 3 occassions.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, where Northampton annihilated the Cobblers 0 - 4 in a League Division Three match.
