marko Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I think Cobblers is a good nickname, after all isn’t there a Swedish club called the Blacksmiths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely any marketing or promotional organisation would consider adopting “Cobblers given the slang phrase “load of cobblers” used to express strong disbelief, contempt, or to dismiss something as utter nonsense, rubbish, or a lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadster Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 The Northampton rugby team are known as the Saints so that might have local appeal and has a speedway pedigree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 If they want to be The Saints I'd hope someone has spoken to the Rugby team and if they were in agreement Make the team colours the same and offer reduced price entry for the Rugby clubs ST/Membership holders all season in an attempt to get numbers through the doors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Maybe their logo could be of a few disgarded canisters, or some teenagers laughing. Personally I think it's a terrible nickname for a speedway team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with that is the car park would be rammed full with Range Rovers and Jags, and most of them would leave after heat 11 if Northampton are losing. They'd also have to provide prawn sarnies and prosecco. Bit of a sifferent demographic, methinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I'm hearing that other clubs will be offering a special offer with their season ticket deal. For an additional payment (actual amount to be set by each club individually), it will include entry to all Northampton 2026 home meetings - except playoff matches - thus creating doubling-up amongst supporters in order to create the impression that Northampton has a supporters base. I'm sure that as an idea, it will catch on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
