The view
Two names on one corner
The 2025 club map labels Metcalf and Jackson Grundy along the north-eastern arc, and the commissioned access survey treats them as one seating area. This corner gives a changing angle from the straight northern bank, with open tiered seating looking into the ground. Compare your row with Lynn Wilson before choosing a viewpoint.
Front-row route
AccessAble describes level access to front-row seating and designated wheelchair positions at both ends, with companions beside the visitor. The surveyed view is clear, and higher rows require steps. Book the position and space your group needs with Northamptonshire. A ground entrance being step-free does not establish that an elevated seat is suitable, so ask about the named row rather than selecting one solely from a general seat map.
Shelter and facilities
The seating bank has no roof. Its north-eastern position can catch the afternoon sun, so keep a hat and water in the day’s plan and consider weather protection for a longer county visit. The Lynn Wilson Centre is the important nearby building for Changing Places and adapted facilities, but ask staff for the actual route from your seat. Nearby private rooms need their own booking.

The adapted and Changing Places facilities in Lynn Wilson Centre should be discussed with the club if they are essential to your visit.
Who it suits
Metcalf and Jackson Grundy is worth comparing if you enjoy an open corner view or need the surveyed level front-row spaces. It gives a different angle from straight northern seating without a private-room booking.
