Northampton travel to take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 11 out of 15 times.
The last time the two teams met at Blackpool was just over four years ago, in January 2003, the Seasiders carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.
