Don't forget it's a 2pm kick-off tomorrow.

Don't want anyone turning up a 2:45pm only to have missed the first half.

On recent form, turning up at 2:45 might not be a bad thing Les.

I seem to recall it's to do with a Northampton rugby match, to avoid congestion!

Correct. Northampton Saints play Sale tomorrow in a 3pm kick-off.

No idea how far apart the 2 grounds are from each other though.

Think its a mile between the two grounds , , , ,

And anyone living in the Town knows to stay away if both are playing on the same day - obviously if your going to either park up further away or walk!

I'd just arranged to pick my son and grandson up nice and early, in order to get there at 1;30. Thankfully I decided to have a look at the fishy!

2pm is not much use really - rugby fans arrive early because there are lots of bars and a big fanzone, with home and away fans mixing. Footie fans tend to arrive late because the facilities in the ground are usually sh1te especially for away fans.

Works pretty well tbh - the footy finishes while the Egg chasers are still playing - leaving the footy traffic to head off without clogging up the town
