History of the Torquay United v Northampton Town fixture

Northampton face a trip to Torquay United at Plainmoor on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a (Associate Members) match.
