Park and Ride

[Green Cross Code Man]

But there were a lot fewer cars around then - about 12m in 1970, about 30m now. If we had those levels of car ownership in the 60s and 70s, the Goldstone (and other stadiums) wouldn't be so readily accessible

Too right. I was a child in the 70's and so didn't drive then, but in the glory years, we arrived a couple of hours early to ensure a close space so even then close parking was in high demand.
