Be a Cobbler in the crowd at the play offs!

Now you can be ‘virtually’ inside the PTS Academy Stadium for the proposed play off semi final first leg against Cheltenham Town with our Cobbler in the Crowd promotion!

As of today it looks like the play offs are going to happen and we’re delighted to have qualified, but we will miss the physical presence of the Shoe Army who, due to the current Covid 19 restrictions, will not be allowed inside the stadium to watch the play off games.

We know the Shoe Army will be with us in spirit and now you can guarantee your presence at the game by purchasing a Cobbler in the Crowd Cut Out and be ‘virtually’ there as the Cobblers take on Cheltenham Town to win a place in the play off final, and for the winners of that, a spot in League 1 next season, at stake!

As a Cobbler in the Crowd you can arrange to have your own face in the stand or alternatively this would make a fantastic Father’s Day gift, a birthday present for a loved one or even a tribute to someone no longer with us who used to enjoy Northampton Town games.

The package includes your (or a loved one’s) head and shoulders photo on a Foamex ‘cut-out’ and positioned on a seat in the stand. The cut outs will be signed by a player or a member of the coaching staff before supporters can collect them when it is safe to do so.

To be a Cobbler in the Crowd costs just £25 and to take part please visit ntfcdirect.co.uk/match-tickets.aspx Once you have placed your order via ntfcdirect.co.uk you will receive a confirmation email (remember to check your spam folders!)

This email will contain your booking reference number. Please then email your photo, name and address along with your booking reference number in the title of the email tocobblersinthecrowd@ntfc.co.uk. The closing date for orders and photos is 5pm on 14th June 2020.

We need a good quality head and shoulders photo to be able to create your cut-out. Please take your picture using the camera on your phone. Take it as a portrait (camera pointing up). Make sure you’re in a light place and have a plain background for best results. You need to be in the centre of the picture. If you are sending in a photo of someone else, please try and send a good quality photo with the head and shoulders looking straight on in the middle of the photo. Email your pictures to cobblersinthecrowd@ntfc.co.uk along with your full name and address and order number from ntfcdirect.co.uk Please try and ensure the pictures supplied are no smaller than 3500 pixels in height, of a suitable resolution and that each file is named after the person in the photo. That will allow us to produce the cut outs quickly and easily.

We also want your video messages of good luck for the players too! We’ll add these videos together and share the montage on social media, on the big screen and in the dressing room. You can speak, shout or sing the words, hold up a sign, be in your shirt, your scarf – the choice is yours! Please film in landscape and keep the video to 5 seconds duration (no longer please) Please adhere to current Government guidelines when filming & keep to social distancing rules. To submit your video, please email matthew.derrig@ntfc.co.uk – the closing date is noon two days before the first leg.
