Seating is a little tight though for an ex player. Northampton Saints for matches. The itself holds around 10,000 & is often full. There are numerous food & drink outlets scattered around the spectator village serving quality & reasonably priced items. The many Stewards are helpful to newbies & visiting fans. Friendly stadium, very welcoming, rugby, stewards and a range of food. Plenty of parking short walk away. A day out. What a stadium. atmosphere, and helpful stewards, and a place to rugby. Very well organised throughout and made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. First at a match. The thing that struck me was sizes. Watching a lot of on TV warps the scale of things. We were 3 rows from the pitch and 3 seats away from the players. On the pitch they look normal size, on the screen huge up close huge. The village with live band was and loved how both teams had mingling socially in the same area. An amazing experience for kids. Only issue is the seats are super tight. 4 normal men struggle to sit shoulder to shoulder and lift a beer. Toilets are accessible with one way systems in place. A experience. The pre match set up is very with F&B offerings and not a lot of queuing at the bars. The itself is very (but it could be argued that the seats in the East stand are rather narrow and the leg room limited) with views. A crowd who create an amazing atmosphere ... it's rare as an away fan to find yourself singing along to the home chants but some of the Saints stuff is very good. If I had one complaint it would be the rubbish pyrotechnics just before kick off. All they seem to do is fill the East stand with acrid smoke and obscure the pitch. It was so bad that the Saints fly half kicked off short of the 10m as he couldnt see the line! Friendly and lively. family environment and entertainment. Went for a match today. I really enjoyed the experience. Well organized and would love to go there again. There were stalls for food and drinks.There was parking near by. It is located just before Mercury bingo. place to although the quality cant be guaranteed. Easy bookable parking. Shirt walk to the stadium, ticket access worked well. Plenty of toilets. fan zone for before and at half time. Plenty of food and drink options. An facility. Ok so when the team wins 90 - 0 for a short it's the best place on earth but that aside it is a venue. The staff are second to none getting in and out is easy and not far from the train station. It's a so I know there's not a lot to compare with or much of a bar really. I can say the food was 👌 Guinness nice and the company preferable! A and a atmosphere. As a visiting fan it is always good. Only criticism is that it's expensive compared to other premiership grounds. Busy WRWC2025 double header Ireland vs Japan amd South Africa vs Brazil. The vibe was excellent, the crowd energetic. The food selection was outstanding and access excellent. However, parking is a joke. It's a 20 minute walk, no busses. There is virtually no leg room in the seating. Also, cops chased away street vendors who where hawking game day scarfs. That soured the experience. Fantastic day out watching women's Loughborough Lightnings at Franklin Gardens. There are plenty of carparks, of course they all require a bit of a walk and getting out can take a while. Some of the seats are now cushioned however most are so I would recommend taking some padding to sit on. COME ON YOU SAINTS! I have epic memories visiting Franklin Gardens and watching my team: Northants Saints play. Every I have been here to them, I have been fortunate to meet one or two of the star players. The atmosphere is epic if you’re sitting outside or in a VIP box. A day out. Don’t forget to purchase your memorabilia! Such a respectable game to live. size where you don’t feel too far from the pitch. For the WRWC matches we watched there was only Asahi beer. Friendly staff and security easy to access seats. It was a long slog round the outside of the to find the right gate to get in if you going more than once you would know which way to walk. day out watching the double header in the Women's world cup. seat, ground, easy parking and really friendly volunteers . The big tower at the back is the National absailing centre and yes you can absail down from 418ft. If you really want to. Looking at it was enough for me. Went to Northampton VS Bath, game of with the Saints making a and horrible atmosphere at the same time. The chants were sung loud and proud by the Saints supporters however as soon as the referee made a bad decision the booed and whistled. A penalty was given to Bath for a decision the Saints didn’t agree with, so they booed and whistled even when Finn Russell was taking a kick for Bath and the Saints guy who is on the speakers did not say anything about it. I’ve been to the Saints many times and this is the first they didn’t tell anyone off. One someone didn’t respect the kicker and got told off. Utter nonsense, huge disgrace and disrespectful upon both the club, and as a sport. Seemed more like a football match via the supporters. The food also was a bit bad and the description was kind of a lie. At half I went to get some food and saw ‘BBQ Pulled Pork’ with ‘Grilled Cheese’ in the description. As soon as I asked the woman serving food she was really confused and said to her what it said and she replied by saying that they serve pulled pork or chilli with wedges. Not very service and for the team who won the premiership. that gets you close to the action. Supporters well mannered and the ability to get close to the players after the game is a way of engaging more followers into Spain vs Ireland in the Womens RWC 25. Great game, atmosphere and all around facilities. place to take all the family. Visit regularly to saints always a day out for everyone young or old for family as well Went to see England's Red Roses take on Italy's women in the six nations and had a at the stadium. Terrace D (standing) had a view of the pitch and the facilities were great. Lots of food and drink choices on offer, clean bathrooms, water filling stations and just an all round experience (helped by the score line, I'm sure).
