The change of ground did not change the club's fortunes and they finished 17th, with Ian Atkins taking over as manager from John Barnwell halfway through the 1994–95 season. After two more seasons, in the club's centenary season 1996–97, Atkins lead the \u003ci\u003eCobblers\u003c\/i\u003e to Wembley for the first time in 100 years, where they beat Swansea City 1–0 in the Third Division play-off final, John Frain scoring the winning goal from a twice-taken free kick deep into injury time. The following season Northampton made the Second Division play-off final, but lost 1–0 to Grimsby Town in front of a then-record 62,998 crowd, with the Northampton support greater than 40,000 fans also a then-record for the most supporters taken to Wembley by one team. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eNorthampton were not able to progress from the previous year's success because of long-term injuries to 16 of their players during the 1998–99 season. The team was relegated to Division Three, despite being unbeaten in the last nine games of the season. However, there were some promising results such as a 2–1 aggregate win over West Ham United in the League Cup. The 1999–2000 season saw the club bounce back to Division Two, finishing in the third automatic promotion spot. Ian Atkins left the club in October following a poor start to the season; his assistant, Kevin Wilson and coach Kevan Broadhurst took joint charge for the rest of the month. Former Chelsea player Wilson was appointed manager at the start of November, going on to win two manager of the month awards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48547361358042,"sku":"37133","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0188\/0122\/files\/20260901_133743.jpg?v=1788514327","url":"https:\/\/classic11.com\/products\/1997-98-northampton-town-home-football-shirt-youth","provider":"Classic11 Football Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
