This whole walking, cycling thing etc is discriminatory against older people who can't, of which there are so many now, (ageing population etc) and physically restricted people. It stinks. The 'liberal' leaders in our councils don't care about these people, they prefer to ignore them in their political agendas Something not being possible for everyone to do doesn't mean it shouldn't be enabled for the majority that can. And maintaining levels of physical activity in younger and middle aged people will mean fewer older people with mobility problems... So that’s the majority sorted. Do the minority have to walk, cycle or scoot too?

Do the minority have to walk, cycle or scoot too? No. Where did I say they did? Of course there should be provision for the less mobile. But you seemed to be arguing that because some (the minority) of people wouldn't be able to benefit from active travel, it shouldn't be a priority. Forgive me if I misinterpreted your meaning.

Don't Wycombe do something similar for their out of the way ground? They do indeed and Stevenage also I believed I paid £1 for the shuttle buses back to the train station. Good service and worked well

Further to the shuttle bus idea, you could stack the buses up on the railway bridge. They could U turn there too if needs be.

Derby County do the same. Lost count of the amount of buses and coaches lined up outside Pride Park with area names on them. Suppose with 25k+ crowds it’s necessary.

Well on the subject of a Tram no doubt a few of us have hopped on and off when going to see the Mighty U`s at Sheffield Wednesday.....Just a shame it gets caught up with the car traffic at Hillsborough as basically has to share the road with other vehicles, alas no dedicated tramline corridor.
As mentioned way back on here previously, always fun to go to Pompey away and use the Hovercraft to from Isle of Wight when making a weekend of it down there !
Seriously though we really do need to go with more Park and Ride shuttles in the future.

I've said it many times before. A shuttle from P&R to the Abbey on a loop. Drop off at the Abbey,turn right into Ditton Walk through a bus gate where it's blocked off to normal traffic, along Wadloes Road, turn left at the roundabout and back to the P&R.

Coldham Lane loop would be better. Ditton Walk is a narrow road with lots of cars parked, would cause traffic chaos trying to drive buses down there before and after a game.
