I see fans have to pay £5 to park and get bus tickets.

Have a feeling this will catch people out on Saturday, as loads of folk who live near Mill Road simply hop on the busses.

That said, don't know how strict the stewards will be.

Have they done this before for the "transport not included" Cup games?

Do all the bus drivers and train stations get briefings on 'transport not included' ?

Would they even know it was paper tickets only and query someone waving their season ticket??

To be clear, I'm talking about the park 'n' ride busses.

When you book your car (£5) you have to give your reg number AND print a ticket for each bus passenger.

That's quite a lot of faff if it's not going to be enforced.

How do the club get away with this for cup matches, as I understood that planning approval for the stadium, was approved on condition Park and Ride was available for all games not just league games

Well that's the norm now for cup games is it not?

The letter s is like a London bus. You wait for one to turn up in the plural noun and then two turn up at once.

Yes obviously, but where is it advertised that park and ride is available at a cost
There is no mention of it on my ticket

Thanks for that
Would have helped if that information was on the ticket, I wrongly assumed that park and ride was not available

I wonder if they have thought about printing a book of travel tickets for such situations.
