It took us 1hr 50mins on A6 route, couldn't understand the need for 4 way t/ lights at Calver and was it the combination of Bank holiday, Man.U.home and rail strike, for the tremendous volume of traffic. It's a good job that the new road is in place to the airport. Sorry to hear about the TB coaches.

I see the club have offered a refund of travel and ticket costs. They're also throwing in a voucher for... concourse food. Nowt like kicking a chap when he's down!
One of the Facebook pages is saying that everyone was left to make their own way home from Chatsworth. Surely not?

Forest and Man U fans all using these routes on the day, bank holiday traffic on the move with several events all over the country.
I have to agree though that drivers have little knowledge of ‘distance’ motorway travel and what routes to avoid on the day.
God I hate this league.

Don't think so. Some left and went to the pub there instead, but I'm sure I saw Liz said the replacement coach stopped at the pub and checked if they wanted to stay or get on the coach back.
