TRAVEL
Coach from Whte Street at 1pm.
By Car; From The South:Leave the M1 at Junction 15A and take the A43 towards Northampton and you will come to the ground on your right.
From The North:Leave the M1 at Junction 16 and take the A45 towards Northampton and you will come to the ground on your right.
There is a fair sized car park located at the ground, which costs £4. Make sure though that you arrive early as it has been known for it to get full for the more popular games. Parking in the nearby cinema and restaurant car parks is not allowed, and parking there will probably result in your car being given a £60 ticket, or worse still clamped! So make sure that you only use the official football parking provided at the ground.
By Train, Northampton train station is over two miles from the ground, so it is probably best getting a taxi. There is an hourly train service from Coventry.
There are engineering works http://www.londonmidland.com/download/83892.9/250813-cre-eus/
If you want to walk it: 'Come out of the main station entrance, go across the car park, up the steps and then turn right onto Black Lion Hill. Go over the railway bridge, and straight on along St James' Road. At the HSS Hire outlet (and the handily placed Thomas A. Beckett pub on the opposite corner) turn left onto St James' Mill Road. After about 400 yards turn right at the Fabric Warehouse (opposite Jewson) onto Harvey Reeves Road, which further on becomes Edgar Mobbs Way. After about a mile this road brings you out at Sixfields Stadium,
