Off Topic Travel time for Monday

Just a word of warning given that the M62 seems to be collapsing westbound give yourselves an extra hour to get to Preston, not sure whether the sink hole in the motorway will be fixed but it will delay you if it has not been filled in. Also given the rain we've had bring a canoe. And if we play like we did yesterday you will stroll home with the points.

 

Good info. i'm not going.
Lets hope Patty has a stream for this...

 

What's your view on the likelihood this game will go ahead?

Football aside, the weather is being a right **** on that side of the country at the mo and I genuinely feel for the poor buggers caught up in it.

 

Won't be a problem, no rain expected for most of today and tomorrow is a decent forecast, pitch is in good nick and by the time you arrive the floods will have gone down, so expect it to be on.
Yes football is secondary for some people at the moment, but there is not a lot you can do when it has not stopped raining for two months and then you get the deluge which lasted for 36 hours, life goes on though and folks on this side of the border are level headed and will get on with rebuilding their lives.

 

I'd be tempted to use the A59. The M62 won't be fixed anytime soon.

 

When I saw the header I thought of the TARDIS for some reason

 

Think they repaired the hole in the M62 late yesterday .

 

Going across this afternoon and will post if any problems with M62 later.

 

My daughter drove across the M62 earlier this afternoon and said it was fine. All mended,

 

Thanks for that, I read the road had been repaired but it's good to have confirmation!

 

M62 fine, but started raining at Manchester and hasn't stopped since getting to Preston. Here now and looking forward to the match tomorrow.

 

Do Preston have a Hilton or slumming it at the Travelodge?

 

Marriott, using points which were due to expire next month, so just food and drink to pay for.

 

The roads may be fine but the railway from Manchester has had a landslide so that's goosed now.
As for hotels they have some so best of luck with that one

 

Slumming it with the City team!!!

 

Cheap bastards.

Allams Out.

Dont you go plying them with booze and keeping them up all night.

 

See if you can get to play a game involving throwing balls. To each other.

 

You (and they?) are in a travel lodge?

 

Frig me.

NO.

He's in the bastard Marriott.
