Northampton Town

Directions

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.

The Sixfields stadium is well signposted around the area. There is a fair sized car park located at the ground, which costs £3. 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 resullt in your car being clamped! So you have been warned.

Pubs

There are two pubs by the ground, The Magic Tower (formerly called Chevys), which is for home supporters only and The Sixfields Tavern (no away colours). Steven Jones adds; a couple of other bars have opened recently opened on the Sixfields complex, both of which are better than Sixfields Tavern and the Magic Tower in terms of service, space, atmosphere etc. Old Orleans is one (restaurant / bar) and the Sports Bar is the other (bowling alleys, 9-ball tables, big screens for post-match scores round-ups etc, equally popular with home and away fans). There is also a bar in the T.G.I Fridays outlet at the back of the Main Stand. If you are coming into Northampton from the M1, via the A45, you will pass the Turnpike Pub, which is okay for away fans.

By Train

Northampton train station is over two miles from the ground, so it is probably best to hire a taxi. However if you feel like braving the 25-30 minute walk then Phil Spokes provides the following directions; 'Turn right from the station and follow the road past the express lift tower (you can't miss it, a tall tower that was once used for testing lifts), passing the Wickes store on the left. Continue down to the Leisure Centre, turn left down the path beside it and then turn right onto the road. You will see the stadium in the distance in front of you.

Liz Williams adds; 'From the railway station you can take the D2 bus towards Daventry, which also goes by the Sixfields retail park and stops about 200 yards from the stadium. The buses go from the bridge over the railway at the south end of the station. To return, get on at the same stop, but make sure to check which direction the bus is heading as the same stop serves both directions. The trip takes 10-20 mins depending on traffic (which can be heavy if there is a Saints rugby match on the same day)'.
