Traffic Nightmare

[kalinski]

Please tell me the M4 reports are due to two London teams and the holiday traffic!!!

I am really nervous now thinking of leaving yesterday to get there on time

On Skysports news this morning, they said that the M4 is absolutley chocker. Two sets of London fans and Bank Holiday traffic.

The reporter said that there were West Ham and Palace scarves strewn all over the Motorway as fans opened windows "forgetting" that they had scarves hanging from them!

He also mentioned that there was the odd Brighton scarf as many Seagulls were making a weekend of it!

I've just been told that the team coach took 6hours yesterday.

On it all the time and yeah many supporters,but was at a stand still at mid-day yesterday at maidenhead due to 3 lanes into 2 grrrrrr.

talking to some cardiff based bt staff yesterday
they said it would be better just to go for a drink
or get something to eat after the game because
it can take 3 hrs to move 12 miles...

 

[Incredigull]

Should make it for half time then !!

 

[Hilton]

We're gonna leave at 5ish I think, much rather get there early than get stuck in traffic

Not as bad wycombe then, that was about three hours to move about 12yards!

Lush did text me to say the road works after the Severn Bridge were horrendous.

The warning is floating around on another thread somewhere.

I was called by a West Ham supporting mate just after 2pm and he was stationary on the M4 near Bristol and still miles from the Severn crossing - no chance of making the first half and marginal for the secon poor sod. It ain't likely to be much better tomorrow.

Avoiding M4 until I get Newport, I'm taking the longer but much quicker route Cambridge-Birmingham-M5-Monmouth-Cardiff

What time did he leave home this morning?

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

I'd leave at the crack of dawn if I were you. The radio reports of the traffic on the M4 have been really bad today.

No point in risking being stuck on the motorway just for the sake of an extra hours sleep. Get here nice and early, have something to eat, relax in the sunshine in the castle grounds and be ready for the pubs when they open.

Marvellous scenes!
