East Kent Saint Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 Good luck to our traveling fans safe journey , hope you get rewarded with a win esp after the 6 nations disaster yesterday which I had to watch in odd 5 mins bursts to avoid a meltdown.

lordswoodsaints Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 I tried but at an average speed of 40mph it would’ve taken to long, got as far as the a34.... Good luck and stay safe to all those that make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 Wigan marathon postponed apparently. Pitch inspection at about 10:30 but doubt that'll be a problem from what I've heard. Good luck to everyone on the roads. Hopefully they can at least push KO an hour or two back to give everyone more time to arrive but no doubt they can't due to TV and people complaining about missing trains home. I suspect we may be missing a quite a few of the 4000 with tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 People being advised to avoid the m62 pal, it'll probably be shut anyway. I've just driven back from Leeds to harrogate, no idea how i got back unscathed. Couldn't get up a hill, so turned round, nearly slid into two parked cars at different times, I'm really not sure how i didn't crash. Not sure whether to bother now. Roads in Huddersfield aren't great and my mate who has our tickets isn't leaving London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 Has snowed in Shropshire but roads clear. M6 was bad Knutsfotd to Macclesfield, but improving. Trains up here seem fine. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 We've had 3 or 4 inches of snow overnight here in Sheffield and similar in other parts of the north by all accounts. All the cross pennine routes will be closed and I saw a news item warning people to avoid the M62 today. I reckon there's a good chance the game will get postponed.

trousers Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 At Stafford services. Well, that was fun. Took me half an hour to get up the hill near my house. The M3 and M25 were OK but the M40 was dodgy in places. Roads much clearer after the M6 Toll road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can make it safely (and good luck) then there is hope yet for man kind. Keep us posted. I am thinking twice about driving to Winchester to watch it at a mate’s house. That’s how intrepid I am.

Noodles34 Posted 18 March, 2018 Share Posted 18 March, 2018 left home at 7-30, up the road, slid into a tree, quite a bang without being serious, aside from smashed front bumper, smashed fog light etc. Soon realised though that the car did not feel right, steering wheel turning to 10 o clock to be straight and the traction control had gone faulty. Turned back at winchester, gutted, think would have been okay aside from that. Been to every round but not this one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
