Synopsis "The Year of the Cobbler: Reflections on a Lifetime and a Season supporting Northampton Town FC"
November 2015. As police and the national press investigated the 'missing millions' loaned by local government - for an unfinished stand - and the borough council understandably demanded their money back, things were looking bleak at Northampton Town Football Club. With staff unpaid and fans demanding answers in vain, HMRC's winding-up order threatened to send the club into administration or even oblivion. Against a backdrop more fitting for a soap opera, there emerged a unique, almost surreal story of solidarity and success. Five months later - shattering a host of club records in the process - the Cobblers were champions before any other League club had even sealed promotion. The Year of the Cobbler reflects upon life as a lower division football fan and, more specifically, a season which both nightmares and sweet dreams are made of... 'Forget Leicester - Northampton Town are English football's story of the season.' (The Sun)Contributors include journalists Jefferson Lake, Tom Reed, James Heneghan, Jeremy Casey, Phil Agius, Joe Townsend, Tom Rostance, and NTFC's Head of Media Gareth Willsher.Same contents as other edition.
