Great (and inevitable) signing by Gaz - his archetypal player. Good luck to both!

There is an answer to this one - don't drive through the centre of Cambridge. The Newmarket Road Park and Ride is free to park at and about 15 minutes walk from the ground. Traffic lights to get out of the car park, leave in the Newmarket direction, it is in the opposite direction to Wycombe but two roundabouts and you can be on the A14 heading west. Would be very surprised if you couldn't be on the M11 within 30 mins of the final whistle.

I know both areas pretty well and Cambridge is much easier than Wycombe for access to the football ground and unfortunately I can't think of an easy way to disperse a large crowd from Adams Park.

When a student in Manchester in the mid 60's when leaving Old Trafford there were say 30 buses queuing up to go to the city. If we were to really push bus use we should have 5 or 6, not just one.

We have a town in a narrow valley 7 miles long half a mile wide. In the late 50's there was talk about moving the club so that the hospital could expand. I thought then Hazlemere would be good but it was reserved for housing. It is very difficult to think of any spare space large enough for a stadium and decent parking. Any possible sites, say Cressex, have been used for other things. It is difficult to think of anywhere except on top of the surrounding hills large enough. Then there is the problem of the Heathrow flight paths and floodlights!

I have not been able to think of anywhere which is large enough and close enough to the town centre. Perhaps the Brighton example of out of town and plenty of free/cheap transport from the city centre is the way to go?

I echo the above comments. It is very easy to find free street parking within 5 mins walk of Bristol Rovers, Cambridge, and Exeter's grounds. I'm normally on a main road out of those places within 15 mins of the full time whistle. Orient and Charlton are 5 mins walk from TfL stations. Lincoln is also in the middle of the city, 10 mins walk from the train station and plenty of car parks.

Admittedly I've only done Stockport on the supporter's coach, but it seemed like there would likely be plenty of parking on the residential streets around the ground

Keep them up Wheels!

Strange how experiences can differ. When we played at Cambridge recently I had a designated parking spot at the ground, waited 20 minutes after the final whistle and it still took me 45 minutes to get out of the city.

Everyone keeps forgetting that everything is being done to improve Kazakhstan football.

I doubt the Hillbottom Road is part of the plan. But who knows?

The squad we have at the moment is a golden opportunity not seen since the O'Neill era to get a new generation hooked like so many of us were in the early 90s. I'm too young to remember how much marketing had to be done, the coverage we had in the BFP sold it to me when I managed to get the paper off the old man when he had finished with it. These days the local media landscape is more like a wasteland and kids would know as much about newspapers as I would about washboards and mangles.

We have to work so much harder to get the attention of youngsters these days, with the financial backing provided by Lomtadze we should at least be able to provide more football in the community-type initiatives to get our name out there and have a few more cheap ticket deals for families to come along and get the bug.

Any new stadium would be further from the town centre - a ground in the town centre is the stuff of fantasy; I just can't see a remotely viable location - which wouldn't be a bad thing with the right infrastructure. Brighton have done it pretty well, haven't they?

I’m an hour north not far but you have to get to the sands area at least an hour earlier to have a chance of parking so i rarely bother now especially as there are so many games on sky .If the stadium was maybe as it should have been at handy cross I would travel far more . Going back to the 90’s the crowds were 5-7000 on most games people just got sick of the parking issues with traffic wardens being very active in those days .
