Northampton cruise at empty WembleyIn this extraordinary football season another piece of history was made on Monday when the 90,000-seat Wembley stadium hosted its first-ever competitive game played behind closed doors. Curle, who in his playing days was a decent centre-half for Manchester City and England, conceded it was a "surreal atmosphere" at the deserted Wembley stadium. At the final whistle, there was no customary walk up the Wembley steps to receive medals from some dignitary. There was reportedly one London-based Northampton supporter standing outside Wembley, listening to the game on the radio. However, a 3-0 win in the return leg was enough to give Northampton their date at Wembley.
