London Midland have released fares for this game.

There are numerous trains running at a price of £7.50 single before railcard discounts, trains taking normally 70 minutes.

A slight problem though is that it is rumoured we will only be receiving 800 tickets due to the size of the away end, nothing to do with squirrel face on this occasion making things difficult in obtaining a ticket!

Please be mindful that the station is about two miles from the ground.

    Make a weekend of it. CAFC fans can stay in my spare room for £70.

    No breakfast. £2 for a shower. Bring your own towels. Checkout 8am.

    If you want. As long as you all f*** off by 8am I don't care how deep you stack 'em.

    They've given an extra couple of blocks of seats on the side a few times this season. Pretty sure Millwall had this.

    We may get lucky with tickets as Coventry have been given just under 1500, hope so anyway as have booked train tickets already.

    Bought mine for £4.95 each way (with 16-25 railcard discount). Never been to Sixfields before. I don't tend to like stadiums out of town and in the middle of retail parks rather than residential areas, but I've heard fairly good things about this one so am looking forward to it.

    It's awful, you have been misled.

    I can sort out the latter for you Harold.

    Don't get the 9.54 train as you'd find a strange looking man wearing shorts whilst everybody else are shivering.

    But the man in shorts will have change in his pocket

    Haha! Oh no! Thanks for the warning though. The main recommendation was from a Man Utd fan (albeit one from Northampton), so I should have known better than to listen to him.

    If you have been to either Walsall or Northampton, it is a version of them.

    You are about two miles from the station, and the opposite way from the town centre.

    Rose and Crown is the man to ask should you want a decent pub to go to for a drink.

    I should have said Walsall or Scunthorpe.

    The two miles related to Northampton!

    Got match tickets earlier for seven of us. Lady on the phone said ours were the "last seven" in that stand , so I presume that's at least 1000 sold . Anyone know if that's right?

    I couldn't believe how long I spent on hold last Monday to try and get tickets. I assumed it was because they were selling fast. If a week later they've only just been sold then it probably says more about the incompetency of the ticket office than the popularity of the tickets.

    Was told Saturday we had sold about 1100
