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?

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.

I always drive up the hill, there's another car park at the top which is emptier.

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)

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.

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!

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.
