History of the Northampton Town v Bury fixture

Bury face a trip to Northampton Town at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Shakers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2010, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
