Title: Northampton away Post by: janaage on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 11:38:32 Just wondering what time people are leaving for Northampton next week?
Me and a few mates are planning on going up, subject to Saturday's level of performance, but can't take much time off work. Multimap says 1hr 59 mins, is the ground easy to get to/near the centre? Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 11:46:58 Piece of piss to get to, although the gravel car park is a nightmare to get out of. Ground is on the outskirts. Takes just over an hour from swindon.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: janaage on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 11:51:08 Cheers Sippy!
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 12:46:47 Piece of piss to get to, although the gravel car park is a nightmare to get out of. I always drive up the hill, there's another car park at the top which is emptier. Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: pumbaa on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 12:47:33 Piss easy. A420, A34 Northbound, M40 Northbound for one junction, then A43 into Northampton (past Brackley and Silverstone). All dual carriageway once you reach the A34.
As you reach Northampton, you go under the M1, straight on at the next roundabout and the ground is right in front of you. Factor traffic in as the A34 up to the M40 can often be a nightmare in rush hour. 2 hours should be plenty (a good run should be < 90 minutes easily) Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Luci on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 12:54:24 I'm debating this now.....hmmmmm
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: janaage on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 12:55:46 It's all down to the Hereford game for us, a decent performance and I'll be there, a Hartlepool/Cheltenham shower of sh, and I'll give it a miss.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, March 20, 2009, 19:27:10 i'm going to this. northampton away in 03 was my first ever away game when kingy had a bust up on the touchline.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, March 21, 2009, 01:03:40 Not sure if I'm going or not. If I can get hold of my Mum's car and some people to go with me I expect I'll be there!
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Saturday, March 21, 2009, 10:26:03 anyone want to pick me up from the train station?
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, March 21, 2009, 13:20:18 anyone want to pick me up from the train station? It would seem not!Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Saturday, March 21, 2009, 21:36:10 Got our tickets this afternoon.
FWIW, it took just over an hour from Swindon tonight, to get to the roundabout just before sixfields. I'm guessing it will take a bit longer on a Tuesday night. Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Luci on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 09:17:42 It's all down to the Hereford game for us, a decent performance and I'll be there, a Hartlepool/Cheltenham shower of sh, and I'll give it a miss. Expect to see Jan there Tuesday then! :D Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: janaage on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 10:06:45 I'll be there, haven't been away this season and after that performance yesterday I've got a good feelling about Tuesday!
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Luci on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 10:08:28 The fact Northampton scored 4 yesterday worries me slightly however heres to hoping theyre as inconsistent as we are/were!
I don't think I can get the afternoon off work :( Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: swindon_chick on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 10:57:25 Would love to have gone to this but I've already booked two half days one on the Wednesday and One of the Friday so I won't be able to get the time off to go which kinda sucks as I can't go to Yeovil on Saturday either :(
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 12:13:31 you should be able to get there in time for kick-off if you finish work at 5? can't imagine it'd take more than 2 hours.
my first away game since warsaw before xmas, i'm quite excited :-) Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: nochee on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 12:25:11 Should be able to make it in 2 hours. The A34 can be a bit of a mare tho, especially at rush hour times.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: janaage on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 13:38:49 4 o clock e.t.d. for us on Tuesday, so anyone know of any decent pubs nearby?
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: axs on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 13:54:29 TGI fridays by the ground.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 17:17:29 As long as they don't run out of beer again.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: eddiet on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 17:30:25 As long as they don't run out of beer again. highly likely with axs going in there Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 17:47:00 True. I'll be helping too.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: axs on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 18:23:11 As long as they don't run out of beer again. highly likely with axs going in there oi! Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 18:37:38 TGI fridays by the ground. It's strange that there was a sizeable gathering of TEFers in there for the game last season....because it seems like ages ago. I suppose it's what happens when a game is at the beginning of one season and the end of the next. Stonking hot day then. Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: axs on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 18:45:08 It was indeed baking that day, over 18 months ago that. Hopefully we can pick up at least a point again.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 18:48:47 It was indeed baking that day, over 18 months ago that. Hopefully we can pick up at least a point again. A lot has changed in that time, both at the club and for various TEFers. Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Sippo on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 19:49:12 Was it really over 18 months ago?!!?
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: THE FLASH on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 19:54:56 Im going .....Mad Max and Chilly (Ron Jeremy) at Calne, then pick up the Southmoors massive at 4pm.....tickets in hand :D
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 19:55:41 I'm assuming tickets for the original postponed fixture are still valid?
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, March 22, 2009, 20:19:01 oh, shit yeah - tickets... i presume you can get them on the day?
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Monday, March 23, 2009, 08:13:11 Still undecided on whether to go, have an expensive week coming up with Yeovil and then piss up & football in Cardiff next Wednesday
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Luci on Monday, March 23, 2009, 08:47:33 Definitely won't be able to get half day, how rubbish, suppose it will do me a favour this month finance wise though :(
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Monday, March 23, 2009, 08:59:37 does anybody want to pick me up and drop me back in brighton will py petrol :)
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: janaage on Monday, March 23, 2009, 09:15:03 oh, shit yeah - tickets... i presume you can get them on the day? I was told in the ticket office that tickets would be available on the door for the Northampton game (and at Yeovil). Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Panda Paws on Monday, March 23, 2009, 13:15:08 does anybody want to pick me up and drop me back in brighton will py petrol :) If I didn't have a law exam on Wednesday I actually would! Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, March 23, 2009, 14:22:05 I was told in the ticket office that tickets would be available on the door for the Northampton game (and at Yeovil). thanks jan! Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: DV on Monday, March 23, 2009, 16:02:43 tickets available on the door and they've already sent the Northampton tickets back
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: axs on Monday, March 23, 2009, 16:45:26 as I just discovered.
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: DV on Monday, March 23, 2009, 16:47:37 as did I after thinking walking there was a good idea as well and it rained and the ticket I was going to get wasnt even for me...
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, March 23, 2009, 17:03:14 How many tickets sold?????
Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: michael on Monday, March 23, 2009, 17:54:10 I predict that c.500 Swindon fans make the journey north.
We at least have to beat the 360 that they brought here. Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:12:31 I'm assuming tickets for the original postponed fixture are still valid? Yeah, we bought tickets on Saturday and they have the original date on them. Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: flammableBen on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:16:57 I predict that c.500 Swindon fans make the journey north. Were there Swindon fans then and how are they travelling 1500 years forward in time? Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, March 23, 2009, 19:19:48 Yeah, we bought tickets on Saturday and they have the original date on them. Cheers! Title: Re: Northampton away Post by: STFC_Gazza on Monday, March 23, 2009, 22:20:26 I only have £11.00 to spend on beer tomorrow GRRRR Oh well... suppose thats a round... just about! :D
