Blackburn - advice required

[RupertsFlan]

I am in a quandry. I have customer meetings that I have cunningly arranged this week that will enable me to get to Blackburn on Tuesday night. I need to stop at Stoke on the way up for 10am and then head on to Blackburn and stay the night.

ON Wednesday morning I need to then get to York for 11am and once that is done, head home - all in the car.

I live outside Forest Row and am sitting in my home office wondering whether this trip is daft, doomed or I should get out there and just get on with it.

Any advice or thougts appreciated. Is the game likely to be on? Am I potentially going to get stranded in York as the weather seems to be getting worse in the north east this week.

Sorry to be a nuisance but I am in two minds. Stay or go?

It's not too bad in the North West at present, so GO.

Snowing in Manchester right now but temps just above freezing so not really sticking. Could be different case in Blackburn though.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Generally the roads are fine up here at the moment, especially the main ones so I think go for it..

Spoke 2 Blackburn police. They hv had snow overnight Blackburn fc confident game will go ahead. Updates via this medium and @OfficialBHAFC

Main roads are all fine. Forecast is cold and icy but no major snow. You have clearly plotted well to set this up, GO FOR IT!

a question only you can answer.....

 

[8ace]

Go for it Rupert.

 

[RupertsFlan]

I suppose it is a question only I can answer - but I am a terrible weed when it comes to things like this and do need the proverbial 'shove' from people who are going to make the journey.

I think i shall be going - clearly this is POTG

When we win in the last minute, you will have your answer.

I should have gone up north Sunday returning Tuesday. I cancelled due to snow but I was driving a large van. Spoken to northern lot this morning and they don't understand what all the fuss is about with us southern softies. Check Motorway Traffic Cameras - Live CCTV images and traffic news to check your journey. Motorways and A roads are fine but it is the minor roads you'll have trouble with

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I'm going so will think very little of those too wet and weedy to make the trip.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

do it!

 

[Hamilton]

My heart says yes, but my head says you might be mad.

Drove up this morning from Shoreham at 4.30am , lot of people staying at home i think so roads were reasonably clear of trafic , apart from a few motorway outside lanes which are covered in snow the two other lanes are fine as long as you drive at a reasonable speed. Birmingham seemed to be the worst of it and a bit further up near the Liverpool turn off , i came A24 - M25 - M40 - M42 - M6. The worst i had was turning into the service station where you do slide a little as no salt.

Hope the game is on now

 

[Best Foot Forward]

Same for me. I now need to be in Leeds tomorrow and Manchester on Wednesday, so planning a divert to Blackburn, assuming I can get out of my road in Sussex!!

Will be fine. Lots of people sat at home on Saturday whilst the rest of us drove to Birmingham in two and half hours on virtually empty and snow/ice free roads.

How many players do Blackburn have on the injury list ?
