I was tempted to jump in the car and take kids with an overnight stay chucked in but not much in the way of hotel options (without paying silly money).

Lane closures dave,??

Added to the fact the average car driver is an idiot, so you never know?

The problem maybe the return jouney as they close A14 overnight. Don't dally after the game.

Premier inn at Huntingdon is good value and en route to Cambridge which is around 20 miles away.

No it's not but it's more of an adventure for the kids, especially if I can find somewhere interesting to visit nearby.

Just looking at exactly that. Top rated attraction in Cambridgeshire on TripAdvisor. It's not free for them but would be worth a trip I'm sure.

I have been a couple of times and it is a great day out - even better when there's an airshow

[Humpalumpa]

According to twitter 270 sold at town for tomorrow, should 400 plus then.

You can sit for 3 hours on the A14 midweek - it certainly can be a long journey - toilets anyone ??😣

If you want to miss the bad bit of the A14, (where the roadworks are), you can go on the A14 to the A1 roundabout then go south on the A1 to near St Neots and then get the A428 towards Cambridge

Or if you don't want to sit for 3 hours on the A14 in midweek, go on a Saturday.

I've been told a pub in the area was showing the Crawley game live and will be doing the same later.

They may not want it publicising on here so pm if you want to know which boozer as it could be busy later.
