Maximum bus fare is only £2
Each way. That's £3 return on park and ride.
There’s usually a charge for P&R for pre-season friendlies isn’t there ?
I’ve no idea!

Still harsh to charge. We pay for this don't forget, regardless of if we use it. As someone who already drives 100 miles each way for a game because the train service is stressful, and third world quality in terms of reliability, the "free" park and ride is a nice touch. To charge for it would make me seriously consider what is already a huge outlay, as petrol + ticket works out at about £78 a game already without any of the other day out expenses considered.
If it was a case of just get the train to every game, that immediately rules out midweeks, 7pm+ evening KOs, and tbh most Sunday games and I personally would bin off my ST and just go once or twice a year instead.

Why no trains doesn't make sense, pride or no pride don't get it....
It’s not a league game so you’re not paying for it……

Friendlies have always been outside of the travel subsidy ? The train service has always been not free for them.
this is really setting the hares racing. There’s been charges for transport to friendlies and cup games since the Amex opened. And although it’s being reviewed (it’s been tweaked several times since introduced) - i doubt the year zero option - “it’s gets withdrawn” is on the cards or that this friendly is an indicator of anything really.

That only applies on scheduled routes though, the P & R buses are essentially charters arranged by the Football club. so they can charge whatever they think fit.

Whatever they pitch the charge at will probably still be a convenient bargain for the crafty walk-ons
Was taking it as a possible indication of the price *IF* the travel subsidy was withdrawn. Thought it was mildly interesting and of note given all the wild speculation previously in this thread, that’s all. No hares being raced by me.

Of course but the club haven't floated this - just a suggestion that the travel scheme is being reviewed. (not ditched !!)
