I have a programme dated 25th December 1944. However the Northampton history book I am using doesn't seem to record the game in the results. There is one for 23rd December but says the Cobblers were at home.
Does anyone know what happened with this game. Was it played, when, what was the score & attendance? Is the book I have slightly wrong or has the game been completely omitted.
Any help would be appreciated. _________________ Big city lights don't bother me, Northampton Town I'm proud to be.

Thanks for your help. Just looked at other records from the time and the temperature didn't get above 0 degress C around Christmas 1944. _________________ Big city lights don't bother me, Northampton Town I'm proud to be.
