Survive and Thrive? A Crucial Month For The Cobblers

“It’s going to be a new look Sixfields next season, we’ve just put in a planning application for the West Stand and the East Stand is being stripped out now. It’s all happening and it bodes well for the future of the club," said Cardoza.

His comments come as season ticket prices for next season have been announced with no reduction in place should Town lose their Football League status over the next few weeks.

With income from the league and associated sponsorship deals set to fall drastically should relegation happen Cardoza has argued that revenue from season tickets needs to be as high as possible to give the club a fighting chance of getting out of the Conference at the first opportunity.

One look at the Skrill Premier table, however, shows how difficult that will be, as past foes of the Cobblers such as Luton Town, Cambridge United, Grimsby Town, Hereford United and others have found over the past few years.

Survive this time and thrive in the future? That is the challenge facing Chris Wilder and his team over the coming month.
