Early Cobblers Preview

By Scott Hilsden
April 16 2002

Saturday sees The U’s take on our friends Northampton in the last game of the season, and with the Cobblers having their second division status confirmed for next season and United already down some might say the game means nothing, others may disagree...

This game might mean nothing to most but as well as being a local derby, United will be looking to avoid the tittle of the only club in England and Scotland without picking up an away win in the league for the complete season.
