Cobblers Past

History Never Forgotten

REWIND – Stockport 2 Northampton 2

We go to Edgeley Park for the first time since 2011 on Saturday, last time we was there we drew 2-2 and here’s what the BBC said about the match on the day;

Guillem Bauza put the visitors ahead from close range, before Paul Rodgers knocked a cross into his own net. Shaun Harrad hit the post for the Cobblers, before scoring from the penalty spot after Andy Halls had tripped Bauza in the area.

Greg Tansey fired in a magnificent effort from 35 yards to equalise. Stockport remain six points off safety with an inferior goal difference than sides around them.

Barring a landslide of goals and results going for them in the final two games, they will drop out of the Football League for the first time in their 106-year history.

Northampton, who are now 18 games without a win, are a point clear of the relegation zone with two games left to play.
Stockport County manager Ray Mathias said after the game “Just absolutely gutted for all of the fans here as if we’d had on won the game 5-2 it wouldn’t have been an injustice.”

Northampton Town manager Gary Johnson said “Stockport knew they had to get a win so I was really pleased when we went one up. They came back into it as we lost our game a bit. I thought our back four played well but we didn’t dictate the midfield enough.”
