PREVIEW – Northampton Town v Stevenage: New Year, New Decade, New Hope? (01 January 2020)

New Year, New Decade, New Hope?

We’re starting a brand-new year at the bottom of the table – so things can actually only get better. Like, they can’t get worse per se. There’s nowhere below us to go. Sure, things could stay the same. And, in a way, that’s as bad as getting worse. If we’re …

Really Wild Show

Northampton Town: The Really Wilder Show

After the quick-fire turnaround of two games in four days last weekend thanks to the extended Easter weekend, Stevenage FC are in pretty much the same situation this weekend. But don’t be getting your hopes up – it’s not another Bank Holiday festival, just a Saturday/Tuesday combo that has the potential to …
