The Cobblers fight to remain a League One club
Northampton Town have experienced the full spectrum of Football League life, from a single season in the top flight in 1965-66 to spells in the basement division and even near-extinction off the pitch. Their current League One status represents a sweet spot that supporters are desperate to maintain, with the club punching above its weight against better-resourced rivals. Every season of third-tier football is cherished at Sixfields, where the supporters know from painful experience how quickly things can unravel.
