Big A 0 Posted September 9, 2006 What a bloody nightmare today was. The A14 was shut half of the way there AND back, then various tailbacks on the diversion. I only had to get to Cambridge so I feel sorry for the poor sods in the coaches on the way back.Crap day all round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ 0 Posted September 9, 2006 I got to the ground at 15.15 after nearly 5 hours without a stop. Partly down to roadworks, accidents and some not very forward thinking by Club Canary/Sanders Coaches. It was only 3 hours coming back though although there was another accident and more roadworks.Why though when the A14 roadworks were announced a couple of weeks ago did the club or the coach company not have the foresight to amend the leaving time (we left at 10.30 which I knew was way too late) or go a totally different route (A47) rather than plough through the mire. Not good but these things happen.And the game was crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DisorientatedCanary 0 Posted September 10, 2006 i left at the same time as the coaches at 10:30, i came from Stowmarket which is about 20mins from Bury St Edmunds for those that don''t know, so im not suprised your late. luckily i knew of the road problems and took different exits for Cambs and i still only got to my seat for 14:30. thank god ive got tues off and have decided to make an afternoon of it in Southend.

[/quote]JayM, I can let you into a secret, Nigel Worthington chose the start time and route, if only we''d let Martin Hunter do it I''m certain he''d of gone for the A47 route.
