    Excellent idea.

    Now if you can just get everyone else to walk it'll be a breeze for me to get there in my car and park within stumbling distance from the ground.

    Age, mobility, time aside, yes you have a point but expecting people to walk from Bingley is stretching it a bit. I’d have to set off on Thursday!;)

    OH gives me and our son and occasionally 1 or 2 of his friends a lift to VP and back. He doesn't follow football and is our chauffeur so no parking issues.
    I am now the proud owner of a senior citizen free bus pass. On the occasions when our son gets the train from Bingley or he isn't going, I shall be on the bus there and back.

    When I don’t need to wear a stab vest then I may consider taking a bus - would also be a nice touch if they could get rid of the smell of piss as well.

    I bought new Samsung 4k TV the other day for £50. The volume button didn't work but for that price you can't turn it down.

    VP is within an hour walking distance from as far as Bingley, Baildon, Thornton, Clayton, Odsal, and everywhere within.

    There’s ample regular public transport to Bradford city centre from pretty much anywhere in the Bradford district, and from there it’s a 10-20 minute walk depending on how fit / pissed you are.

    There shouldn’t really be that many people insisting on driving, causing further congestion and headache to all in surrounding areas.

    And I can tell you the walk after the game up Kings road to Morrison’s at 5 lane ends needs Sherpa support, I thought it was tough going up Bolton road and then down to where Ring of Bells used to be. But then again, I’m not 20 anymore.

    I often walk from Wilsden (top end) if beers after are involved. Takes about 90 minutes over Sandy Lane, through Chellow Dene, Jackie Beck, down Thornton Road and onto City Road. Final destination used to be NBH but now likely to be either The Fighting *@?$ or The Rose & Crown. Just shy of five miles.

    If no beers are involved I take the horse and stable it during the match.

    I've not renewed my parking space in Burlington Street Car Park this coming season. So a space available in there for £395.00 for someone

    I was mortified when son, daughter and I didn’t renew after years and years of ownership and attending. They ended up with other interests and jobs and the 400 mile round trip became just too much when work involved many hours and manager on call-duties.

    It hasn’t stopped me watching, going to occasional away games and still being a life long fan.

    Happy days Tony.

    I imagined it. It's £2.00 per journey/ £5.50 per day cap.

    Depending on parking restriction on the site you might have to pop out and move it at half time

    Here you go. Some sites worth investigating. Apparently on Canal Road https://ospreycharging.co.uk/

    No excuse for not attending games!
