Booked a hotel and got the tickets which will be my childrens first away game.

Can't wait.

 

Does anyone know what colours we will be wearing as the car is going to be covered with it!

 

I've heard we're wearing the new bright pink latex away shirt, with the little rainbow flag on the back.

 

No need to thank me.

But dont Saints lose money if we dont sell 2,000 tickets ?

 

They have guaranteed 2000. I don't know what the spread home side/FA/away side is but say it's 40/20/40? We will have guaranteed to pay Northampton 40% of the money raised from sales of 2,000, probably around £12.5 to £13K. Hardly going to break the bank! We'll take over 2,000 anyway.

My tickets arrived today, Alwyn Hargrave stand, row B.

 

And Pilchards, as long as you remove the colours when you park you'll be fine.

When you're off to an away game in the motor, there's nothing better than seeing another car decked out in Saints colours.

I went to watch Northampton play at Aldershot last night.

 

They were a poor team, very slow and poor technically. Akinfenwa and Gutteridge looked like the only vaguely dangerous players.

 

Their right back Rogers is sketchy and Lallana should have a field day against him.

 

Can't see them posing much of a threat to Saints tbh, can't wait till sat!

and probably have broken windows for your journey back

 

How will driving up and taking your colours off 10 minutes before arriving near Northampton going to get my car smashed up?

 

And after the game a walk back to the hotel.

 

I often think that because you are at war with some of these difficult parts in the world that you believe it's everywhere including at a nice friendly cup tie.

 

 

Anyway enough of the -ve's.

 

So are we in the pink strip ;-)

Changing at Euston and meeting up with some mates who are getting on at Watford Junction. We are getting there about 11.30 and are heading into town centre in a cab I think.

I have Saints stickers on the rear window of my car, never had a problem yet...(fingers crossed) any idea of a good place to park near the ground, I notice on Google maps that there are a few big car parks nearby but I dont want to pay through the nose, or any other orifice..

My ticket hasnt arrived by post yet either, I bet there is a sad skate postman somewhere who collects Saints away tickets...same happened for Oldham and the tickets never arrived until about 5 minutes to kick off from the Saints travel club..:-(

I drove through Northampton the last time they were palying at home and parking for £1 was being advertised a short walk from the ground. Or the one outside the ground is £3.

I parked just outside the ground the last time we played them and it took me ages to get out of the car park. For away games I always try to get to the ground early, then drive the way I would be going after the game and after a mile park somewhere on the left. After the game it's only a 20 minute walk, the traffic's thinned out and then you're on your way. If I remember correctly, the Northampton ground is out of town and near the main road junction so my usual plan is not so easy.

The £1 car park was exactly where you want, on the left, heading south.

Just bought my ticket for this one. I've not been to Northampton before. I felt I should go because the club had shown faith in our fans by demanding the large allocation.

 

Come on everyone, its the FA Cup, win this one and we could get Poopey at home in the 3rd round, or a nice trip to the Emirates. (I've not been there either!).

Really? What about being sucked off by some blonde beauty whilst driving to said away game? Surely that's better than seeing another car with a scarf stuck in the window?

Largely agree, although the conditions were appalling. I thought Akinfenwa was a real handful – best player on the pitch by miles, although he seemed to be carrying a knock when he came off so don't know if he's fit for Saturday.

I was planning to walk, it's only 1.8 miles down a main road according to Google Maps. Apparently there's also a bus every 20 minutes from near the station to Sixfields, so you could go for that.

 

Anyway, I'm getting the train from Leicester, changing at Nuneaton.
