About the Ground.

Crewe make the journey down to Northamptonshire and the Sixfields stadium in Northampton.
Sixfields opened in 1994 after the club had moved from the County Cricket Ground which was a weird set up.
The ground has 7,653 seats and has a 150 year lease in which they are looking to develop the ground more with a capacity of 15,000.

Where to Drink.

With the ground being on the outskirts of the town not many boozers are about. However there are two near to the ground these being Magic Tower and The Sixfield Tavern although the Magic Tower do not let away supporters in.
