Parking
There are 13 spaces in the VIP car park and 25 spaces specifically allocated to disabled spectators in the supporters' car park. Generally, the VIP spaces are usually reserved by disabled season ticket holders. All disabled parking bays have already been allocated to season ticket holders but Northampton can offer a drop-off pass to enable the driver to drop the disabled person next to the gates before parking in the normal car park. This must be done by pre-arrangement.

Facilities
Northampton Saints have very good facilities for all disabled supporters. When Franklins Gardens was redeveloped it made sure that disabled supporters and their carers were well catered for. There is ample seating at both pitch side and at a higher level within the stadium, as well as disabled parking and toilet facilities.



Seating
There are several disabled supporters' bays around the ground. However, some are already taken by disabled Northampton season ticket holders. Spaces in the Church's Stand are limited, but there is always availability in the ground level areas of the South and West Stands.


Church's Stand
Pitch level seating, including space for wheelchairs and seats for carers, is available. Tickets are offered at a concessionary price of £14. The carer of the disabled person is admitted free of charge. Spaces in this stand sell out very quickly.


South Stand
Pitch level seating, including space for wheelchairs and seats for carers, is available. Tickets are offered at a concessionary price of £14. The carer is admitted free of charge.
Tetley's Stand
High level seating for disabled supporters is offered in this stand. Access is via a lift in the main reception. There is space for wheelchairs and seats for carers. Concessionary tickets are offered at £14. The carer is admitted free of charge.

Sturtridge Pavilion
There is elevated patio seating for disabled supporters in this stand, including space for wheelchairs and seats for carers. Concessionary prices are the same as for the other stands - i.e. £14 with the carer admitted free of charge.
