Sixfields era section is too long?

Should it not be subdivided as 29 years is too long for one section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Disintegration1989 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A note on British English

British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 16:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1965-66 season

I am surprised that so little is said in the article about Town's solitary season in the top flight, and the preceding promotion season. Surely this was an important (not to mention exciting) time in the club's history. Daemonic Kangaroo 07:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Current squad section

Any reason why this section doesn't follow the Manual of Style? Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 11:04, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2023/24 season - mint green third kit needs adding

On Saturday 26th August 2023, a mint-green third kit from Puma for the 2023/24 Northampton Town F.C. season was released. This requires adding to the kit images section within the infobox.

Many thanks. 2A02:C7C:E365:7A00:314F:3B1E:CD61:8BF9 (talk) 18:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lowest crowd.

Re my recent edit on the subject the figure of 942 for Northampton 0 Chester City 2 in the 1988/9. This may be Northampton's only attendance in the League of less than 1,000 but is certainly not the lowest League attendance elsewhere.. https://the1888letter.com/thames-afc-and-the-football-leagues-lowest-ever-attendance/ cites two lower attendances: one was 588 for Rochdale v Cambridge United in 1973/4, this being a midweek afternoon match because of threatened power cuts and the other being 469 for Thames v Luton in 1930/1, probably the lowest league crowd. There must have been several other crowds less than a thousand especially in view of the fact that floodlights only became common in even the First Division in the late 1950s and may not have been used in the third and fourth divisions until the 1960s. The number of League and FA Cup matches must have been fairly constant and day light midweek games would have been required in the winter. Spinney Hill (talk) 13:41, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
