Cycling to football

[BrumJim]

I've cycled with my lads to games at Northampton Saints - there are places you can leave bikes near to the ticket office. No problem with taking any associated kit into the ground.

Yes, but then you have to watch Northampton.

Yes lots of people cycle to games at Shrewsbury (now known as The Montgomery Waters Meadow.....RIDICULOUS!!). It's very safe, with a number of bike racks to lock them to. Although it might be different when Hereford come to Town

That's a Gay name for a football stadium!

I've cycled to watch Moseley Rugby, only 2.5 miles, but not to watch Leicester Tigers, at 50 miles.

Happened in Glasgow and some of us really really enjoyed it.

Still like to remind them about it on a regular basis as well.

But if you cycled slowly enough to the Magic Roundabout you would have the benefit of missing the actual game !!

Reply from Aberdeen re cycle rack.
Took a while , but they have one.

No sure if I can cycle that far though.

I cycled back from the Dungannon v Linfield game at the weekend. 53 miles home after a 4-0 win!

Did you cycle 53 miles to get there ?

Nope. Got a lift down with a friend. There's no way I'd get enough 'leave' on a Saturday to do 100+ miles AND watch a match 50 miles away from home!

Man City , best way to get away avoiding huge queue for the tram. Cycling through the departing masses is like a computer game.

Where do you leave it at City, is it secure and is there someone with an eye on it?

Man city website says there are a number of racks around the stadium.

Doesn't specify where.

Another hassle free visit to Celtic Park.

Straight there. No delays. No looking for a parking space. No closed roads after the match ( security they say)
No "fees " to the local car watching mafia.

Home in under an hour.

I used to cycle to Accrington Stanley. The stewards let me chain my bike up outside the ground,the bit near to where i stood, so i could keep an eye on it. Like the OP's case,they were a bit funny about me taking my water bottle in,saying i could use it as a "missile". They didn't bother when i took my metal tea/coffee flask in though,when not cycling Now if i go there on my bike,i leave it at a friend's house across the road. It's safer there and it's easier to get away,after the match.

There's lots of racks around the peripheral road around the stadium, I always lock it of course and always seem to be plenty of orange jacketed folk around.
Never had a problem so far.......

Neymar and his PSG buddies were saying exactly the same thing .
