Scientists believe 780,000 years ago, the north and south poles reversed and swapped position. It may be about to happen again, with devastating effects on the club's plans to expand the east stand.
Many facets of Cobblers fan's lives depend on the Earth’s magnetic field, anchored by the North and South poles, from the electrical grid that powers their computers allowing them to watch buffering footage of the club in action on I follow to the satellites many of them are looking forward to use to tune in to GB News. A polar switch may be about to happen again, some scientists believe, with potentially disastrous results for the 2020 league two playoff winners.
A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged (not to be confused with geographic north and geographic south). The Earth's field has alternated between periods of normal polarity, in which the predominant direction of the field was the same as the present direction, and reverse polarity, in which it was the opposite. These periods are called chrons (not to be confused with the local Northampton newspaper whose reporters apparently had no idea what was going on behind the scenes when the original land deal to redevelop the East stand went awry).
Professor of pole-ology at PTS academy university and retired NASA scientist Chad Huckle explained; "We are literally looking at a scenario where north becomes south and south becomes north. This would cause chaos as the North Stand would become the away end and South the home. Best to put things on hold even more with the East stand until things are a bit clearer as in a post covid world this could lead to confusion as the lads in the South corner of the west stand would be spending the entire game chanting and gesturing to their fellow cobblers in the south stand, I mean north. Come on lads we're all Cobblers!"
There is also the question that if the North and South poles were to swap, would Northampton Town football club become Southampton town football club and play in the Premier league and would the South coast outfit be prepared to up sticks and play in League One?
In more positive news, fan favourite Nicky Adam's would likely return to the club as he'd feel more at home playing in the club's new more northern setting. (But only if the club were relegated to league two).
Other problems the polar switch could create such as the destruction of the ozone layer and the world's satellite system, environmental catastrophe and mass extinction are being debated by a committee made up of experts from the University of Columbia, NASA scientists, the United Nations and the Shoe Army Facebook group.
