OldPaShrimper visited Sixfields on 15/05/2005
Game watched: Northampton Town 0-0 Southend United
A cagey affair in the first leg of the League Two playoffs - but one that could have possibly ended in a victory for the visitors with a braver header at the death by Luke Guttridge. Still, the draw was enough for Southend to edge through to a final in Cardiff thanks to a second leg penalty. Sixfields was packed for the occasion and the away end was vocal throughout. Being on a retail park, access to, and particularly away from, the stadium can be painfully slow.
