Saints have been drawn at home to Northampton Town in the first round of the Carling Cup.

Northampton, managed by former Saints boss Stuart Gray, were relegated from League One on the final day of last season.

The game will be played during the week commencing 10th August, most likely on Tuesday 11th, and will be the first time we have played Northampton at home since September 1964 in the old Third Division South.

The two sides have met just once in the League Cup, back in 2004 when Steve Wigley’s side won 3-0 at Sixfields Stadium thanks to goals from Kevin Phillips, David Prutton and Neil McCann.
