Town have not been in action on 24 December since 1955 but had a decent record in the six games they did play on the day before Christmas.
3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats produced a massive 30 goals, 8 of them coming against the Cobblers in a heavy defeat at the hands of Southampton in 1921.
Christmas Eve football looks to be a thing of the past in England (although a full SPL card takes place today) and that's maybe just as well given some of the journeys that teams undertook back in the day.
Torquay United and Brighton & Hove Albion both came to the County Ground while Northampton made long and fruitless trips to Brighton (0-4) and Southampton (0-8).
