    I mean, we haven't won there in our last 25 attempts, or since the 1920's.

    I thought I'd look at our record away to Northampton:

    Played 13, won 1, drawn 2, lost 10.

    Err not much better.

    So a draw tonight then would be a fantastic result, a win would be a freak of nature

    Not sure any of current squad were around 90 years ago so I never take note of these stats and more they are brought up more it must play on players minds (a little)

    I find it fascinating that certain clubs can't win at certain grounds no matter how many different teams and managers they may have. There is literally nothing intimidating about a half-empty Ricoh Arena, a 7,000 seater toilet like Sixfields, and I never went to Highfield Road but can't imagine it being more intimidating than any other ground. It's just not explainable.

    I went to highfield road in the premier league season and I can confirm it was a very intimidating place to go.... Mostly outside after the game though.

    My first away game as well.
