motorway to reopen at 730 and 80miles from tottenham so there going to miss game

[evans1863]

No chance of delaying kick off or anything then?

[Stokiedavo]

Seriouse ?

[thewilse]

I came past about 3.30 heading north and it was closed near to Newport Pagnall while they pushed a car out of the way.

[bogus]

Text them back and tell them to get off at 16, head towards Daventry, then head down the A5 towards Milton Keynes and back to the motorway...............if possible, of course

The A5 runs parrallel with the M1 all the way down that stretch and as far as through to St Albans

[potterspride88]

they are fucked

[bunnyscfc]

bogus is spot-on, did the same myself once. Will be heavy with traffic but those on the M1 have no hope of getting there to see the game.

[slangking]

Do you reckon about 10,000 cars aren't on there already?

[Stokie-Jiggz]

oh dear...if its true then surely they will have to delay the kick off!

[robinreliant]

Well it is an 8pm KO, they might make it !

[robinreliant]

Brazil vs Manure ko delayed to 8.15pm due to traffic problems !

[Hammo]

Due to safety reasons, not traffic problems.

Err NO, SSN just confirmed "Due to traffic problems on M6" (probably a load of mankers with dicky satnavs lost in Brum !)

Me and my mates got off our coach on the motorway and walked back up the slip road, finding a pub a couple of mile down the road just off a dual carriage way on the edge of Northampton. Once in the pub we got ourselves beers and got the taxis ordered for the train station, the lot in the second taxi went straight to Spurs while we stuck with the plan and got the train. Got the match at half time, at least we got to see Beattie's first goal for us. Our coach did make it the game and before us who left it stranded on the motorway, so luckily for us we had our transport home still! The things you do hey get a footy match....

[feed the beat and he wil score]

ur the coach load im on about haha, my mates on there too

[feed the beat and he wil score]

yeh my mates got there just after 3rd goal

[falirakipotter]

Seen as we were supposed have sold out, their were a lot of empty seats in the top tier, top right hand corner.

Anyone see the arguing amongst stoke fans around this area just before half time??

[roro]

When I finally made it I was in the bottom tier and it was packed out. Loving the twitching songs, great atmosphere considering the game was already over before I even got into the ground.

[McLovin]

Roro were you on marts coach?

[markscfc72]

we were ok luckily we came off at think it was 16 (wherever it was closed from anyway) then satnav directed us through Northampton and back onto an empty M1 made it to enfield station around 7:25 just managed get a train which was at i think 7:21 and into seats for 7:55

[McLovin]

stop showing off
