The Cobblers are traditionally one of the few teams who have played away in a competitive fixture to all of the other Premier League and Football League clubs. This is no longer true at the start of the 2021/22 season as the Cobblers have never played either Harrogate Town or league newboys Sutton United in any fixture at all. It has been quite a while since we visited some of the current league clubs, all the details are below along with highlights from the more recent visits.
