BOOTHROYD DEMANDING STRONG FINISH

2012/13 SEASON TICKET INFORMATION

Cobblers boss Aidy Boothroyd wants to end the season with a victory in Saturday's trip to Rotherham.

"We want to finish on a high," he said.

"Rotherham are where they are on merit and they are a club with a new manager who are looking to build. I'm sure it will be a tough game but we want to win it.

"I had some opinions about the players two or three weeks ago and since we've become safe I've seen things that have put one or two doubts in my mind and have made me think a little bit more about what I'm going to do.

"The players are in next week for testing and appraisals and we know that because of where we are we have got an awful lot of work to do in the summer to give ourselves a chance of being a lot more competitive next year.

"The players will all be given summer programmes to keep to and they will have the option of coming in to the club three times a week. It's optional but whether they come in or not everybody has got to do it.

"I believe that to be successful you've got to start now and we know that we have got to take big, big strides forward.

"Our goal next year is to be competitive, we know what it takes to get out of this league and that is something we have got to be aware of.

"I've got a couple of players coming down next week for talks but nothing is done and dusted and I'd imagine that a lot of players will want to keep their options open.

"I'll give those players a timeline because we can't wait around for ever and then we will find out whether or not they want to be here. If they do then great but if not we just move onto other targets.

"I know that there's a budget to keep to but I want to make sure that I can get the best value for money.

"Shane Higgs is touch and go for the start of next season, he's worked really hard in the gym and credit to him for getting to a place where the surgeons and the physios think he could be fit for the start of the season.

"John Johnson has done really well and he has been made an offer.

"As soon as the weekend is out the way we'll be straight down to business and if he wants to sign it then great and if he doesn't then we'll have to move on."
