Cobblers vs K*ttering

[oliv272]

Agreed I was very jealous, the game doesn't really have the same historical meaning for K*ttering as it would if it was us. As for Harborough bit of a stinky draw but a chance to get into the 2nd round, the income for both clubs must be so lucrative from these runs - it still pains me how badly we played against Newark in our 2nd round defeat

Not been a supporter as long as most, but what historical meaning would it have if it was us.

Cobblers were playing K*ttering years before R & D were formed.

True I was more just thinking that we were football league rivals (and arguably rivals for being the biggest team in Northants for a bit) and K*ttering never had that.

Not in the league they weren't - the Ploppies have always been non-league and hopefully always will be!! What historical meaning you say? Have a look at at this and tell me there would be no meaning



Gutted that the Ploppies won, I despise that club and its fans, but they were the better side on the day and deserved it - NTFC were woeful, it surprised me just how bad they were.

As much as I hate to admit, K*ttering were the better side, and deserved it. Cobblers were pathetic.

Definitely, Cobblers had injuries, but for a professional side were a shambles, I did wonder whether the fact it was a local derby might help their motivation, but clearly not, a classic case of the underdogs wanting it more and deservedly winning.

Probably made over 100k from their cup run now. At least that will cover the wage bill for a couple of months! Maybe!

Seen lots of headlines about what happened yesterday evening but not one along the lines of “former armed robber holds up the Cobblers”

Plus an increase in attendance for a while with all the positive media attention, I suppose the local lad coming off the bench as well will stir the kettrin massive into a state of rapture.
However, a few trips to splat park and most will remember why they stopped going in the first place.

Wonder what Doncaster will make of Burton

Well done to both K*ttering Town and Harborough Town on reaching the 2nd round. It is something we would love and are missing out on. It's a great crowd booster and obviously financially rewarding. Every lower league club wants the kind of FA Cup run that those two local team have had.

i agree with this and what Pigman says. I wanted Cobblers to win, but a shock was always on, with the form of both teams. I think the lack of a replay worked to K*ttering's advantage. Fair play to K*ttering and Harborough, brilliant runs from both. I'm sure the national TV audience will enjoy the sights of a field in Burton, after the almost-but-never-quite-finished Sixfields this weekend!
