Good Morning!

Today would have been the last day of the season. With the rest of the family I would have been travelling down to Newport for my favourite game of the season, against my home town team, Northampton Town.
I would have engaged in friendly ( and some not so!) banter on the Cobblers message board and with Cobblers supporting friends.
I would have met and said hello with many acquaintances made over the years from Newport, sadly this year it’s not to be.
With a bit of self indulgence, I have written a short story, on what might have been if the virus hadn’t occurred.

Originally to put on a Cobblers thread on their message board I thought in this time of football drought, I would also share it here, so settle down and imagine you are at Rodney Parade on what would have been the last game of the season

A nice read that Phil. A reference to NGR as well.

Surely not 19th,we did have a awful last ten games to match the previous bad form.Even with that form,did Collins,Jeffries or Woodiwiss get any game time Phil,or did Flynny stick with the journeymen.

Last day? Hang on, it's the play offs next week.

Sorry! You better give us your version then!

It might cheer us up if we were involved!

We had another phenomenal end of season run and needed 3 points against the Cobblers

We won 2.0!!!

Cheltenham away 1st leg in the play offs.

Salford v Exeter in other.

Cheltenham eh? That could go either way. Just hope it doesn’t go to penalties after the second game like last year. My ticker couldn’t take it. Has anyone got a match report from yesterday’s game

If it does go to pens then rest assured that Robbie will be subbed a few minutes before the end like against Salford and Tranmere.

All I know is that Podge won man of the match and there is going to be uproar on here later.

What, again!! Was he the only one nominated, like one of the other times? Which mom poll do we look at? Will his points count towards the overall total? Still, he is a class player.
