I'm on a coach, and as they normally go by road I'd like to know that too.

The Highway agency roadwork schedule says no planned roadworks on M1 this weekend. I can't paste the link to it from here but search for the highway agency and have a look yourself. There is a route planner thing just put in which roads you are interested in (that they run) and it's list roadworks. Usually gets it right n'all!

booked train earlier today - was only an extra £3 each way for first class, so i thought i'd treat myself and the missus. might even find the time to stop off at Pret for a crayfish sandwich en route

thanks for info stanley, do you know of any good places to park that are near the ground?

[stanley75]

Street parking round by the station end of town shouldn't be a problem Or the nearby Rugby ground. I'm going by train now. Dead easy run and dirt cheap. And allows an early morning run into the Scotsman at the Cross

[WeAreQPR12]

easy run? it takes about 2hrs 30mins from surrey by train. I can drive it in about 1hour 40.

[stanley75]

Ahh - Surrey is nice and all that but there's your downside of being the wrong side of the river. Hour ten on the train from the Cross and I'm only 25 minutes from the Cross. And can get bevvied going this way. So easy for me. First class for £11 return too. Can't complain about that.

I've driven it before for evening games and don't recall parking being a problem. I was advised to use the Rugby Ground just down Walkers but didn't need it as there was plenty of street space.

Did you enjoy the game then weareqpr12?

[WeAreQPR12]

I was stuck on the m25.

I left work at 11:30 and I had no chance of getting there.

Gave up at 1:15 as it didn't get any better and I knew I was fighting a lost cause.

I was a lucky one because I was going to buy a ticket at the ground and I know alot of fans missed out that had already bought a ticket.

Got my tickets for donny and Millwall and can't wait. Did u make it?

[Hertford Hoop]

No, couldn't get to this one, wish I had though.
