I used to drive to home games until one game we went for a curry after and I found the train and plus bus was cheaper than petrol cost. Also the last few years the highways agency have been doing the a3/m25 junction which can add half an hour just to get through that junction. Combined with the higher crowds and parking I haven’t bothered with midweek home games for a few seasons now. Exceptions being Peterborough POSF and Leeds a few weeks ago.I must admit I admire those supporters who travel around the country by public transport - and all the potential hassle that involves.
Whilst attending almost all home matches and many away this season (and some of the latter really quite depressing) I admit I have the luxury of travelling by car and the advantage of going “door to door” and the only requirement being road conditions and where to park.
Occasionally, however, the temptation to stay in and watch on Sky has been too much (Hull on a Tuesday night for example).
Fair play to the other 1600 Yellows who I see regularly around the country - and who have travelled without the benefit of a car!
Even the Saturday 12:30 kick offs haven’t been that bad. Just like getting up early for an away game.
