The Ground
Griffin Park remains completely unchanged from the Cobblers recent visits over the past few years, although the away terrace sometimes swaps end. Cobblers fans were housed in an open terrace behind the goal called the Ealing Road Terrace. Some seats were available in the main stand to the left hand side of the terrace. On the opposite side of the ground is a single tier all seated stand for home fans. Behind the goal at the opposite end is a two teir stand, with terrace at the bootm and seats above. The ground is quite traditional in part and has been up dates in parts, it is quite compact providing adequate views for supporter.

Parking
Street parking is good (although we got there at 1pm). There is a large car park close by too.

Pubs
So many to choose from! We opted for the Royal Oak, this was one of four pubs on each corner of the ground. It had a massive Glasgow Celtic bias, but was extremely friendly and welcomed away fans. After the game they showed the England game and wasn't too packed to see the tv.

Atmoshphere
Very low key! I don't think they were excited about playing us and we weren't very excited about playing us. The 950 or so Cobblers fans were quite quiet throughout.

Programme
£2.50 for an average programme.  The centre was laid out in the design of an old fashioned programme which was a little different.
