I remember going into Asda the afternoon before the Autowindscreens final to find they had sold out of bread because everyone was taking pack up for the next day. 25 years ago ? Where did all those years go. Happy days UTM Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Fantastic times, think there was about 6weeks between the two matches. I was on a coach arranged by Bryant's Carpets ( brother in law worked there). I remember the six (or was it 4) minutes of added on time for the Northampton game, never been so nervous in my life!

Incredible Day ....... The play off final was far too stressful to enjoy untill that final whistle finally went

I think we took 28500 for the Bournemouth game and just over 20k for the cobblers game. I remember being outnumbered 2 to 1 against Northampton and there was quite a gap behind our goal for auto final.  I’ll gladly stand corrected if anyone can put any actual figures of the 2 games.

Yes we took a about 20k to playoff final and where outnumbered 2 to 1.
