I remember 98 so well. I recall the ref showing AB 6 fingers at the end of the game and was gob smacked

Those 6 minutes were hellish at the time, but watching the game back I don't think Northampton would ever have scored as they were utter shit!

I was 5 at the time. I went to the first wembley trip and I can remember bits of it, we didn't go to the playoff final however. I remember the championship period after that pretty well and of course all of the failure since!


Now based in reading, do I class as an exile yet?

Obviously we have to win the league to guarantee promotion..... and the last time we won a league was season 79/80......thirty five years ago!


Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team.

05-06 I had the same cocksure attitude as 97-98 in that I just didn't see us not getting promoted.  


Same. That's what made it even more miserable.

Same here. I've been lucky enough to remember 6 promotion seasons, 1972 (just), 1979, 1980, 1990, 1991 and 1998.

Here's hoping I'll witness another one in 2015.

I feel for all our younger supporters who have only ever known us be pretty rubbish for most of the time.


6 Promotion seasons?!?!?! Fair play Les, , , a true Town fan. Whis one of the 6 is your fav?? was 1972 the last title win??

I was 7, but I vaguely remember a goal in extra-time hitting the side-netting and one side of Wembley going nuts thinking we'd won.

I'm 32 so had a few real decent seasons supporting Town and a few lets say disappointing seasons!  

We moved to Northampton in 1994 so going to school in Northampton during the 1997/1998 promotion season was pretty good!!!  

I do remember at school writing 1-0 to the Mariners on the whiteboard in our tutor classroom only to realise instead  of using the Whiteboard marker I had used a Permanent marker!!!  

Hoping this season we have another Promotion to celebrate and one thing Town fans are good at, ,  is celebrating!!!!

98 season was my first season as a town fan and being only young I can't remember much about it other than being in the kop end at Liverpool with loads of other town fans and seeing a young Michael Owen hat-trick and then can remember the amazing feeling when we won the play-off final and me wanting to stay inside Wembley forever to celebrate only for my dad to drag me out so we didn't miss our train

If we do go up then I cannot think of anything better to add to it other than those tw@ts from Tranmere getting relegated down to the Conference considering how they celebrated us getting relegated that day at Prenton Park.
