royalowlisback Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Part of the gate on the North stand Kop End was closed after the game as well. No biggie but caused a bit of a bottleneck, especially with the wheelchair exit being in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any smugness was soon stopped when the gantries came up with Jn 18 - 16 being closed I had a mare getting back too..M61 exit closed from m60, m6 north exit closed from M62..Nightmare Added 45 minutes to an already boring journey after watching a boring match...

Ref blows for new ball from dugout. Farcical. Steward watches it roll to a stop at the side of him, and stands looking at it.

The good news is I reckon when this lot is done it only leaves Jn 19 -21 left - until they start the process again no doubt It's another fourth bridge job mate. To be fair it is a lot more than only you. What you're saying about Rotherham I had the same for umpteen years doing junction 6-10. Now it's up to Watford Gap from your area and as you say then Nottingham it's never ending will probably see us out!!. Sad to say been dawdling up that road since 84.

What makes me laugh is by the time we've gone over the bridge and walked up to Leppings Lane we seem to always be there the same time as the away supporters.

I worked near Jn 9 for years so I got caught in the knock on effect of those. So with that it's well over 10 years. The biggest difference now is how much they do actual work overnight and closing off entire sections. But to give an idea of the effect I remember being surprised at getting home after midnight - now if it's before 12.30am I am delighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Copthorneowl Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I wonder if you feel - as I often do - when going to mid week night games, don't go to so many now but I always go up dreading the journey back if we lose and play crap had plenty of that unfortunately but what a lousy 4/5 hour misery that is. Best late journey back ever play off semi v Brighton floated back arrived home early am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It wasn't that long ago that there was a spate of terrible 1-0 defeats or 0-0 games on Tuesday nights. I found I got home in about 1 hour and 45 as I did about 90 all the way just to escape The Charlton FA cup match where we played poorly and lost I was so angry mad that I was still ranting when I got home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMX Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Slightly off-topic. Wtf was with the line of stewards that kept walking out in front of the empty lower Lep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 what gets me the chavs can stream out of the north onto the lepp and us old feckers in the grandstand have to detour right round the ground to get up Halifax road ......there's no sense to it .....if the club could give a reason why it happens then at least I could maybe understand but they never have .
