bungle Posted 9 November, 2009 Share Posted 9 November, 2009 Still waiting to find out if the game gets moved for dreaded live coverage, or to the Sunday because of Kettering v Leeds. Not a particularly good place to go, as ground miles out of town on some leisure park, so no real pubs nearby. Annoying. Also, "Northampton's Best Kebab House" (actual name) is sh*t.

Michelle Posted 9 November, 2009 Share Posted 9 November, 2009 I'm flaming sick of drawing Northampton, would be quite happy to never go there again, however something is making me want to go to this game! Agree were looking safe for Saturday at 15:00. So... which of the restricted choice of drinking establishments shall we plump for...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt you should have just gone to Milleniums down the main road about 2 mins walk always remember it being good when I was ****ed. Pubs are ****e there only 2 by the ground both K but nothing special. This draw was ****e tho been there many times during uni and with Saints and with this sandwiched in between trips to Hartlepool and Walsall very crap.

bungle Posted 10 November, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 November, 2009 Hmm. I thought from Bath it would be straight to London and up, but it takes pretty much the same time to go to Birmingham and then back down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just booked my train ticket via Brum with £25 reduction from Taunton, but a 5.30am start to get it! Oh well, a chance to have good nose round Northampton.

Andy_Porter Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 9.30 train from soton central which came to £26. Quite looking forward to this as it's a new ground, sounds a bit like Reading away though shouldn't be too hard to find a pub near the station if there aren't any near the ground. Really hope we progress, watching the FA cup third round draw without Southampton in there would be depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 20 November, 2009 Share Posted 20 November, 2009 Didn't get a choice, but my ticket is behind the goal. Would they have sold this stand first? Yes. When I spoke to the ticket office when I bought mine they said they had instructions to sell block by block, one stand first, although the lady on the phone said she didn't know which stand they were starting with. The end behind the goal holds 800, side stand is 1800, it will be quite embarrassing after the fuss their fans made over us having more tickets if we only take 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I think we'll make that comfortably. If Northampton were better at football they would have more fans and a fuller ground and we wouldn't get so many tickets.

My postman is very unreliable. Things tend to not turn up or arrive already opened, so with almost £200 worth of tickets its not worth the risk.

My credit card is registered in Southampton, but i live in Bristol at moment and the club told me last time i ordered that they will not re-issue lost tickets if they are not posted to the registered card address.

I'm planning on getting there before lunchtime and will be hanging around the town centre util at least 2. The offer's there Nick,and I've got to pop down there anyway at some point this week.

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 25 November, 2009 Share Posted 25 November, 2009 I'm going with a couple of others. FA Cup games are a bit more relaxed than the league I find.

It's only £3 to park at the ground so you could park up jump on a 22 bus* and taxi or bus* back from the town centre. Sixfields is a piece of p to get to too, just follow the A43 under the M1 and it takes you right to it. *Number 22 at 14, 34 and 54 minutes past the hour from Sixfields into town and then 18, 38 and 58 minutes past big shopping centre in town back to Sixfields. A 10 minute journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted 26 November, 2009 Share Posted 26 November, 2009 I am going on the train, getting up there 11.30. Drinking in town, taxi to game, and a few extra pints in TGI's before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 26 November, 2009 Share Posted 26 November, 2009 driving down to ticket office from Bristol tomorow to pick 8 up. Well looking forward to this game You can order tickets and have them sent up with the travel club on the matchday. They will be available for collection as and when the coach arrives, typically about an hour before kick off. I did this for the Oldham match.
