Just a few little tips about Sixfields that might prove useful on Saturday:
- There is a KFC and a McDonalds opposite the main stand, and many other reastaurants and eateries can be found on the Sixfields site- go in one of these before the game as the food served in the ground is crap. If you get there a bit early and need something to pass the time there's a bowling place on site with some amusements in, and if you get there very very very early there's a cinema.
- There are two large gravel car parks on that site holding several hundred cars each, so parking isn't a problem, but it does cost £3 to get into one of said car parks. Don't be tempted to park in the car parks of the restaurants mentioned above because you WILL get fined.
- There aren't any "pubs" as such near the ground because it's located in a leisure park on the edge of town but the outlet of TGI Friday's has a bar and is the designated away bar. If you want to go to a traditional pub you'll need to go into the town centre.
- Tickets are £19 for adults, £6 for Under 16's and free for under-7s. There are NO student discounts.
- Also, if you have any cash left after the ticket, the KFC and the beer, buy one of our programmes- "The Cobbler" was voted league one programme of the year last season ahead of the likes of Leicester's and Leeds', and content-wise is better than anything I've seen on my travels in League Two this season- there'll be plenty of Shrimps-related stuff in there as well. Costs £3.
Look forward to seeing you in the South Stand on Saturday, hopefully we'll get the three points and to be honest I expect us to with our current run of form, but I know you're in the top half as well so it could be a tight game and I reckon there'll only be a one goal margin between us. Who should we look out for on Saturday?

Up_The_Cobblers wrote:Oh by the way I forgot to mention our half time game. A Cobblers fan and an away fan, each with blindfolds on, and the guidance of a friend who isn't wearing a blindfold, have to score a goal starting with the ball in the centre circle- whoever scores first wins. Always fucking hilarious. They'll need two Morecambe fans to volunteer for this so if you are up for it ask one of the stewards about it when you get in the ground.

If you want a proper pub then you would have to a bit further but if you come by train then you would walk past a few. Thomas A Beckett, The Foundry and The Red Rover are all fine. With no stops it is about a 15-20 minute walk from the station to the ground.
Enjoy the day and don't buy food in the ground it's crap and exensive.
