Cheaper tickets
It is cheapest to buy a Virgin Value Advance ticket from York-Birmingham. Tickets are very cheap if you book far in advance.
Then buy a Cheap Day Return from Birmingham-Northampton (can be bought on the day and valid on any train between Birmingham and Northampton).
This is much cheaper than buying a through ticket on the day.
Directions from the station to the ground
Northampton station is around 25 minutes walk from the ground: Turn right from the station and follow the road past the express lift tower (you can't miss it, a tall tower that was once used for testing lifts). Carry on past the tower keeping on the same road. Passing the Wickes store on the left. Carry on down to the Leisure Centre, turn left down the path beside it and then turn right onto the road. You will see the stadium in the distance in front of you.
