CLUB COACHES
Around 50 coaches will be departing from Franklin’s Gardens from 8 o’clock on Saturday morning. It is anticipated that it will take no more than 90 minutes for the coaches to be loaded and to leave Northampton, so supporters are advised not to leave it too late to get to the stadium.
Car parking is in Car Park D (Edgar Mobbs Way), which opens at 7am. Car parks will remain open until midnight, although they will be opened between 11am and 1pm on Sunday for supporters who leave their cars overnight.
Coaches will begin to leave Twickenham approximately 30 minutes after the trophy presentation ceremony has finished.
Supporters who still have to collect their coach tickets from the Saints Ticket Office are reminded that they MUST do so by close of business on Friday. The Saints Ticket Office is open between 12 and 7 on Thursday and between 9 and 5 on Friday.
