When PATGOD first started up the relegation of the Cobblers would have been greeted with a cheer loud enough to remove the Pop side roof (again). We would have rushed out a special “See You Soon” anti-Cobblers edition of the fanzine. We’d have lit celebratory bonfires the entire length of the A43 and danced the night away around the fires in an orgy of semi-pagan worship.
It's different these days. Their relegation yesterday back to League Two (Division Four in old money) has been greeted by Poppies fans with, at best, complete indifference, and at worse sympathetic noises.
Has our hatred for the Diamonds become so all-encompassing that we cannot spare even a tiny morsel of vitriol for another failing county cousin? Seems so, yes. Mind you, don’t look too hard on this site for any congratulations being handed out to Corby for their promotion….
