The lowest gate of the Bulls' Football League tenures saw a limp display as Northampton ran out comfortable 2-0 winners.
Two disallowed goals, the first given offside as the teams lined up for the restart, only papered over the gaping cracks of a side lacking in attacking ideas and with little confidence at the back. John Trewick showed the most fight of the Bulls on display, being sent to the stands for a number of vocal protests before aiming a kick at the woodwork in the Directors Box when another decision went against.
The paltry 1,266 gate, boosted by 102 Cobblers, had dropped well below that announced total by the time the game was concluded, with even the announcement of five minutes injury time at the end - a result of constant timewasting from the visitors - was booed far louder than the actual whistle.
