Cycling to football

[Truth]

Hi Tomma,
I honestly didn't think it was sour grapes mate, I was just pointing out it wasn't all down to big money buys we got promoted and in fairness, even if it was, you still have to spend it wisely.
I think most clubs are involved in dodgy dealings to be honest, no matter at what level they are playing. I am sure our near neighbours Villa and Blues are under the watchful eye of the authorities now!
Back to cycling..... I have never cycled to a match and I think I can say conclusively that I never will .
Cheers

Ah never say never.

I'm waiting for Northern Ireland's 2020 qualifying group being drawn and seeing if there's any epic European cities I can partly ride to!

That would be fun !
Saw your lads lose 4-0 to us in a qualifier at Old Trafford many years ago. Your support was SUPERB and we had a good few beers with them after too !

For us, the return game was a major turning point and almost an unofficial public holiday. I still remember Davis chipping a poor Robinson clearance on the 74th minute to a just about onside Healy and... the rest is history! The party THAT night was something else altogether.

I tried to get tickets for the return game but had no luck ...... . We were going to meet up with some of your guys we met in Manchester...... never mind.

try it you might like it. its best to get a super cheapo 20 quid max BSO or even one pulled out of a skip (as i have done many times!) for these types of trips and then even if it gets nicked its no bother.

The rack at Celtic Park , and the overflow on the fence beside it usually has a few decent bikes on it. Quite reassuring , they'll nick them before mine....

Seriously , I've been cycling to all the home games for a couple of seasons and haven't heard of any problems with bikes or even lights, pumps etc getting pinched.

It's a very long time since I cycled to Ibrox.

I was still in the fire brigade so just left my bike in the local station.

After almost 18 months it was great to cycle to the football again last night.
I had to get my lights looked out and charged. It must be at least a year since I've needed them.

Football wasn't bad and I missed the rain !

Tottenham have a number of cycle parking sites around the ground that are well used.
I like to enjoy a few pre match pints so I leave the bike at home 😀🚴

I’ve considered cycling to Spurs, but what do you do with lights, tools etc?

I would suggest you contact the club and ask them.

I have recently started cycling to watch League Two Bristol Rovers, and am enjoying the experience. No traffic worries.

I take my lights in with me, along with a change of clothes.

Any tools I have are locked in a box mounted on the pannier.

They have 3 secure sites to leave bikes and it looks like people leave there saddle bags on the bikes. I have Dynamo lights so they are fixed but if not just unclip your lights and put in your pocket I imagine. They do have a bag drop at the corner of Park lane and Worchester avenue but that seems a bit of a faff if you want to get away early.
