The Cobblers are making their third appearance in a play-off final. 1998 was their last time and they were unsuccessful.

The prospect of promotion to League One and games against Sheffield United, Bristol City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Coventry City and the mouth watering derby games with Peterborough United must be incentive enough.
