If this hasn't been posted elsewhere.

And I thought it was bad on Friday night

As a Leeds united season ticket holder

I will be at Elland road and am planning to drive Old trafford just not sure if i will make it.

Leeds united will finish at 16.55 if i leave 5 mins early think i will just about do it i can park close to the ground and get a good run on the M62

turn off at chain bar then, great

You sir, are nuts!

If it is anything like last Friday you will have no chance. It took me 3 hours to get to Wigan and another 2 and a half to get home to Doncaster.

Hoping for a better run this Saturday. I've never driven to OT, where is best parking?

Last Friday me and #1leedsfan got picked up at Tingley roundabout on M62 at 5.20pm

We got into the DW at 7.50pm

Good luck

I know the drive to wigan was a nightmare, just thought it may not be as bad saturday. i live in colton so never really go on the 62.

We set off from SWC on the coach at 5 and got there with only 10 minutes to spare.

I left Leeds at 4 and got there at 6.15

I did though, go through Halifax, Todmorden and Burnley just to name three places on the way there

Road to Nowhere went through Todmorden.
Now, that's what I call irony.

SWC??

Swarcliffe Working Mens club

am i missing something here. surely this only affects the homeward journey. should be no problem going (no more than usual)

Ok, so you leave Elland Road at 16:50.
According to bing you've got 56 mins drivetime.
Gets you to Old Trafford at 16:46

Gives you 14 minutes to find a parking space and walk to the ground...

That is of course assuming that it takes 0 minutes to get to your car and away from Elland Road...and that there are no hold-ups on the way...and that Bing have taken into account the many miles of 50mph speed limits on the M62.

Good luck mate...you'll need it!

Is your friend driving an adapted DeLorean DMC-12?

When it says closed , is that totally closed or just one lanre type ogf thing or a contra flow

Oops...

loads of free on street parking in trafford park and lots of 'matchday parking' in the office / factory car parks in trafford park too if you want to pay for a bit more 'security'

I know you're a bit dated, but we got there with 30mins to spare!

We left Morley at 4.00pm last Friday, did the M62 corridor and got to Wigan for 6.05pm - The result made up for the 2+ hour car park

All down to the Trans Warp Drive again ...

Excelsior class?

Bag of bolts.

Quantum slipstream drive FTW.

The M62 was only closed on the way home on Friday too, but it still took me 3hrs to do a 1hr 35 min journey (according to google maps, even taking traffic into account it reckoned 2hr 5 mins). I'm hoping the fact it will be Saturday afternoon and not rush hour on Friday might have some influence.
