OTHER IMPORTANT INFO
- The Club requests that supporters refrain from standing at the side of the pitch during the training session to prevent congestion. Please watch this from your seat.
- Once the training session has finished, please remain in your seats until instructed to move pitchside for the signing session.
- As Franklin’s Gardens is a front-loading stadium, Northampton Saints asks supporters to avoid moving around the stadium while the training session is taking place to avoid blocking the view of your fellow supporters.
- Please note, with the recent UK terror threat level having increased to ‘severe’, there will be increased security measures around Franklin’s Gardens – please be patient and understanding with our staff if any additional checks are required.
