FANCY A BEER WITH PAT GAVIN?


So then, it's nearly over and we are out the bottom two for first time since September thanks to the son of god and my new hero, Ivan Toney.


There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we as fans played a huge part in Saturdays result, because we were loud, we were boisterous and more importantly we were unified.

 
Everybody seems to think that the battle is over and whilst it looks better than it has done, it only takes us to lose to a side who have been top half most of the year and for Wycombe to beat a side who is bottom of the league and we're consigned to trips to the middle of nowhere on a Tuesday night.

In Dagenham we gave 110%, on Saturday we need to give a minimum of 150%. Yes it is possible before one of you smart arses pipe up.

So, here is the plan...

We start at 10am in the 'Moon on the Square'. This makes us visible to the rest of the teyn and people will realise that Northampton people do care about the football club. It also means we can sing about cobblestones while being on cobblestones, the madness.
 
 
 
Then at 11am we move on to the 'Sevens' (Red Rover) - hopefully if we pack it out we can get a Liverpool Street atmosphere going in there, nothing naughty and just some good old singing and support for the club we love.



Final stop is at 12pm and down to Carrs Bar for one final push, if you joined us in there for Portsmouth you'll know it takes only 8 people to make a noise in there, so imagine if we can get 50+ in there, it will be bloody raucous. 

 
At 3pm we go and sing our way to safety - we don't stop from 5 minutes before the game until the game has finished.

 
Two other things to mention....

Bring scarves, flags, beach towels, confetti the lot - ESPECIALLY SCARVES, a lot can be done with a scarf. You can swing it round your head and pretend you're a Spanish ultra, you can throw it in the air if Chris Wilder tells you to, you can throw it at your mate if Chris Wilder tells you to, you can even attempt suicide with it if we are relegated - (please don't try this at home etc)

BRING A SCARF. BRING A SCARF. BRING A SCARF. BRING A SCARF.

Finally, (and I'll say it quietly in case it doesnt happen) we may have got the man himself Pat Gavin to come down and have a beer with us. Seeing as we're using his name, lets not let him down with a poor turnout or a poor atmosphere. Let us show him how much we all appreciate his fantastic deriere.

 Hopefully we'll have done enough to retain our Football League status, whatever happens though I'll see you all in the Sixfields Tavern for a debrief and planning for next season - whatever division we are in. This movement does not stop.
