The better solution might be to improve Fratton station and do a park and ride on the trains, but I can't think of anywhere with car parks other than Gunwharf/town and back to Fratton.
Public transport is a lottery. And that's just from Cosham. It's a risk just getting the train that will get you there in the most reasonable time as when it's late then you're fecked. As for the return, as I've said before many times, at the weekends, the first couple of trains are 2 or 4 carriage trains so its everyone for themselves. With night games, there are just a couple of trains available and I often get open after 11pm. Gone are the days that BR used to rustle up a 12 carriage train out from the depot to get rid of the fans as quickly as possible. I used to from ground to home in 30 minutes.
