Cobblers staff and players took over a corner of the Grosvenor Centre this afternoon as they got suited and booted ready to walk out at Wembley.

The first team squad, coaches and staff got measured up by staff at Skopes, based in House of Fraser, ready to walk out on the hallowed turf before the big match on Saturday in a smart charcoal suit.

Cobblers manager Aidy Boothroyd and his staff were among the first to be measured up and kitted out, with the players then filing through one after another.

Speaking after his fitting, Mr Boothroyd said he felt it was important to share the success of the team with businesses around the town.

He said: “It is really important to get everyone involved in it. The rugby team have been doing great, the cricket team are picking up under David Ripley and we are doing our part to put Northampton on the map.

“We want to get local businesses involved and Skopes have very kindly kitted us out for the occasion.

“It is very important for us to look the part.”

Star striker, Adebayo Akinfenwa, was on hand to model the suits for members of the press and admitted afterwards he was concerned about getting his thighs into the suit trousers.

He said: “I think it is decent. I was worried about the thighs getting into it, but it is decent. It is all part of the excitement but I will look forward to when this is all over and we can just look forward to the game.”
