1. They known as the Cobblers and play at Sixfields where they moved to in 1994 from the County Ground

2. Pools defeated them 3-1 on May 11th 1991 to win promotion

3.They won Promotion from the old fourth division to the old first division in 5 seasons and were then relegated back to the old fourth division in 4 successive seasons. Meaning they went from the fourth division to the first and back in 9 seasons.

4. George Best scored 6 goals against them in an 8-2 FA Cup victory in 1970

5.They finished bottom of the League in 1993/94 season but avoided relegation because Kidderminster Harriers stadium did not come up to League standard.
