    From SAFC.com

    "Please be aware of the following information if you're travelling to Dean Court this weekend.

    From 6th September 2015 to 31st May 2016 the northern part of the A338 – the main route into Bournemouth from the north – between Ashley Heath Roundabout on the A31 and the Black Water Junction on the A338 for Christchurch and Bournemouth Airport will be reduced to a 40mph contraflow due to rebuilding work.

    Furthermore, there is no diversion route as there are no other suitable roads to divert traffic onto, and the alternative local roads have weight restrictions on them and are not suitable for coaches."

    Be careful out there people.

    I've got some traffic news for those getting out of Bournemouth - every road out of Bournemouth leads back into Bournemouth! If you're in the wrong lane it's impossible to escape the place and the road markings are as clear as mud! (was there a few years ago!!)

    Sounds a bit like Newcastle - that's an absolute nightmare if you don't know the one-way system! Thankfully it keeps the citizens in there as well :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Glasgow city centre is almost entirely one way.
    How the **** people drive around that town is beyond me.

    Choose one of the following to explain to Smug why you didn't get there in time;-

    Engineering works,
    Horses on the line,
    Wrong type of snow,
    No available driver,
    Immigrants on the line,
    Speed restrictions,
    High winds,
    Suspicious device,
    Person under train.

    For me it's M27 towards Southampton, onto the A337 to Lyndhurst, A35 to Christchurch then past Bournemouth General Hospital towards the ground.
