Northampton face a trip to Hartlepool United at Victoria Park on Friday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 19 out of 29 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2008, with Northampton inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Pools in a League One match.
