I any ATD'ers fancy meeting up and having a pre match pint before the Northampton game at Sixfields then drop me a PM. If any Pasoti lurkers want to meet up can you PM me on either of my accounts over there.

I have about a 1 in 4 chance of getting Cobblered on Saturday and wouldn't mind meeting up if I do.

It would be a pleasure SFD. I am driving up from Ipswich so a beer near the ground in the town are both options.

I never found a pub that sold good beer near the ground - or certainly not in walking distance! If you do, I shall be impressed.

This place is about a mile away but not a pub.

Looks like this one is a no no for me. Lots of complicated family stuff and insufficient places in not enough cars if I don't do my bit. I'll be there in spirit though.

Tempted to go though feeling a defeat is on the cards. We were in the same situation not so long ago, new manager and new players has a galvanising effect.

Parking is a pain in the arse at 6fields, train station miles away.

The last time I went to Northampton was when Luggy was in charge and they spanked us 3-2 in the FA Cup, im pretty sure Chris Hargreaves scored one of the Northampton goals that day. The away end was sold out, Argyle were cruising towards the Championship and I had to sit with the Cobblers fans..how times have changed.
I drove that day and to the best of my memory if you get their early enough there is plenty of parking in and around the retail outlets that surround the ground.
This Saturday i shall be attending as i am stuck up North with nothing to do, rather then driving this time i shall be catching the train,Ill take the hike to the ground and probably be camping in the bowling alley or TGI Fridays for a few jars before I go in and watch us get spanked.

I remember that game well. I was in the away end right in front of Asamoah's winning goal. Good atmosphere and great cup tie. Seem to recall we lost our unbeaten league run and knocked out of JP Trophy in the same week.

'Top of the league yer avin a laff !'

Also memorable for a few morons who spent the whole of one half verbally abusing the town goalkeeper, using disgusting language.

It was as embarrassing as it was shameful and the stewards did nothing despite complaints from several decent Argyle fans, self included.

I lived in Northampton for 20 plus years and the best pub is as follows [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
It's a bit of a hike to the ground (I estimate 30 minutes walk) but it does have a great selection of real ales and food and a real homely atmosphere. If walking is too much there are buses available from the town centre 5 minutes walk away or of course there are always taxis.
I am gutted that I won't be there as my grandson is the Argyle mascot on Saturday. He was hoping to walk out with Luke McCormick his favourite player but his injury has put a stop to that.
Our record at Northampton at Sixfields and before that at the County Ground is truly appalling so I don't expect anything other than a defeat on Saturday but even so I wish I was there to witness it.
Have a great day to all those that are.

Being in a central heated house and £ 21→ richer feels much more appealing to me right now.

If it's the same car-park I used to use, it's worse getting out of than Home Park's - though it's about 6 years since I was last there.

It was always interesting to walk past the memorial to Walter Tull to get into the ground.

Horrible, soul-less ground. I went there from time to time but usually chose to do the extra 30 miles or so to watch Rushden & Diamonds.
