    Denis Smith. The G-Force. Just under 30k for Northampton at Roker Park. Wasn't all bad, but I really don't want to go there again. How many remember it? Home defeat to Chester was as bad as it gets for me, as I grew up there and had a season ticket at Sealand Road back in the day. ****...

    I wasn’t actually alive during the stint in division three, my dad used to go still though with his brother, he says he doubts as many people will support the club through it this time though.

    The reason for that though is although the players were s hite then they tried their hardest now the kunts couldn't give a toss the rich stinking f ucking bastards.

    I was there when we were relegated in the playoff against Gillingham. We lost 3 2 away and won 4 3 at home making it 7 all on aggrgate. I think we are the only team to ever get relegated on away goals.

    I was at that game, and left thinking we had survived,<doh>, even so it was not too bad as the team bounced straight back up, it wont be a given this time round I fear, and attendances might be embarrassing in comparison to our neighbours up the road. Dark days indeed.

    I don't think it was that season but I might be wrong.
    I do remember going to Brentford, Aldershot, Fulham, Southend, Brighton some great goals from Marco and Gatesy in the days when we could actually win games.
