NORTHAMPTON TOWN
Sixfields (capacity 7,798)
Having played for 97 years at the County Ground, the ‘Cobblers’ moved to their new home of Sixfields in 1994. This is an all-seater stadium on the outskirts of Northampton, which was temporarily shared with Coventry City back in 2005.
The covered, single tiered West Stand is the largest of the four, and contains the club offices and changing rooms. The Dave Bowen Stand, behind the goal, is named after the former player and manager who had success with the club in the 1960’s, though some children watch the game from the bank to the side of this North Stand.
Away fans visiting Sixfields are located in the Moulton College (South) Stand, with a typical allocation of around 900, although an additional 400 seats can be added in the East Stand if required.
