A new policy for tackling football related trouble is published, as twice the number of matches are staged in Northampton this season. Northampton Town are sharing their ground with Coventry City, who are playing their League One "home" matches at Sixfields.

The Crown Prosecution Service and the Association of Chief Police Officers can issue banning orders that stop you from attending any fixture for at least three years.

Cobblers fan David Linnell has followed Northampton Town for more than half a century and explains how his match-day experience has changed over the years, while Stuart talks to PC Nick Price, who oversees policing of football fans at Sixfields, and to former Northampton Town defender Clark Carlisle, who has been racially abused on twitter.
