Could be something to get in touch with the fans forum and the new bods at the club in general about. With the location (by the canal and surrounded by cycle paths) there’s no reason why there shouldn’t be. And better facilities may encourage more people to cycle there. I should be moving to Stone soon and plan on walking to games when it’s nice so anything to encourage more sustainable methods of getting to the game is great. There was talk of boat taxis at the new Goods Yard that's under construction. I wonder if that's still happening. I once went to the Brit on boat. I joked to my uncle to ask someone going past for a lift, and my uncle only went and asked.

I know they’re not quick but they still overtake you when you’re walking the canal and from there it’s about an half hour walk so if it could be cut down to 15 mins that could be a useful way to get a decent number of folk to the ground if done properly.

I cycle on the towpath pretty frequently. What annoys me is people telling me off for not having a bell when I have quite audibly said, “excuse me please” instead.

I’m the fittest I’ve been in about 10 years 🤣👍 I just walk slowly 🤣but I can walk far. A 23 mile charity walk got me back into regular exercise. And wasn’t specifically health related but I did need to lose a few stone and I did

I’ve thought about it myself, but like vibe says you’d never get away after the game. I suppose you could wait around for the people to disperse about but the canal would be rammed The fan zone will no be an option after games, you can have 6 pints and cycle home down the canal. What could possibly go wrong?

Reducing the traffic issues around the ground on a match day would be greatly beneficial too. I park in Heron Cross and walk 15 minutes to the ground so doesn't affect me but people parking on the official car parks and on that estate suffer badly. Same. I’m never going to do it myself but still think cycling to the game is something that should be an option and could be facilitated pretty cheaply.

There are a few spaces behind the boothen/main stand corner - i've attached an image from google failing that, i would be surprised if there wasn't any at the gym/power league nearby you could use ![](//storage.proboards.com/800541/thumbnailer/vjlClQ0bXAVJGVKh0CbG.png)

As long as whoever cycles has a little more thought and consideration than that pratt who rides along the canal ringing his bell towards Trentham - we’ve had a few stand-offs with him. If he rings the bell you should get out of his way. What actually happens? why should you ? , it’s not a cycle path , pedestrians have just as much right as the cyclist

When We played at FC Thun, there was a bike rack that stretched the length of the Stadium with hundreds of bikes in in, and none of them locked!

Like caravans, bikes shouldn't be allowed on the road.
And people shouldn't be allowed to have more than 2 kids and kids shouldn't be allowed in supermarkets.

Thanks for the replies everyone - much appreciated.
I'll have a good look round at what's there on August 10th and decide that it's probably easier to drive! Good point about the Power League, I'll pursue that as well. It's not just about having a secure place to leave a bike, ideally there'd be somewhere you could leave a rucksack/cycling shoes.
I think I'll raise this with the Fans' Forum too, as it should be something that the club should be encouraging, both for traffic and fitness.
