lake district canary 4,520 Posted January 10, 2020 Just a heads up to anyone coming down to the match from up north to look out for closures on the M6 - scheduled to be closed all weekend both ways, near Lancaster as they have to remove a bridge. Might need to allow more time for travel and diversions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done that trip, on almost every occaision I've bumped into City fans at Tebay services on the way back. Once there was a father & son from Dundee who went to all home and away games, that's some dedication. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might need to allow more time for travel and diversions. On balance this was the best thread of the day. Whilst my attempt at humour seems to have been lost on a few, we did get a traffic report, a geography lesson (who knew the Lake District was to the North of Manchester?) and an re introduction to Tebay, one of my most favourite service stations . I say one of, because my absolute favourite services are Bishops Stortford and Clacket Lane (both to the South of Manchester by the way) Yes I have lost the plot. I admit it.
