[Archived] Rovers v West Ham

[MarkBRFC71]

Snowing again at Oakdale ....

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Please be on...

Already being driven mad by 4 yr old and sneezing wife. Trek to Ewood park via a few public houses seems much more appealing

[gumboots]

Snowing again at Oakdale ....

It's blue skies here in Clitheroe, at least more blue than cloud, so if all goes to plan - got to drive to skipton and back first - we should all 3 be there.

[Manchester Blue]

Just been out in the car in North Manchester and even the main roads are poor so god knows how i'll get up for the game, If i can't use M61 then it's the M66 anyone know what that is like?

[CrazyIvan]

Snowing here again but if it's on, we're gonna be making our way over...

[grizfoot]

Still snowing here, but only very gently. Good news that the game is on, get on your wellies everyone!

[cruz]

Isn't it rather foolhardy of Rovers to keep the game on considering travel will be treacherous before the game and temps will be down to -4 by the time the game finished and everyone has to get home? Not even taking parking into account where more cars will be around from residents and the increased traffic delays from the fools who have left their xmas shopping to the last minute

I can make it ok from bamber bridge but that because it flat here, I live 5 yrds from a main road the M65 will be passable and I will be walking it from the in-laws in cherry tree.

I probably have it a damn site easier then people far nearer to Ewood

[DannyKeg]

There's about 2" or 5 cm here as well, but I'm on the German border in the east of The Netherlands. I won't make it to Ewood of course, but all you hardy souls who do, give the lads a cheer from me.

Good luck on the roads and footpaths and drive carefully !

[67splitscreen]

One fan just drove Preston - Blackburn, no problem.

[Darwen Rover]

Hiya guys anyone know what the main road going from Darwen through to Ewood is like? Might be better walking!

[philo]

i'm traveling 70 miles over the penines should be ok

[John]

Club saying game def on unless significant snow, they seem fairly positive about it - can't make it myself though....

[Mercer]

Roads from Ribble Valley into Blackburn are absolutely treacherous. Take care if travelling in that direction.

[The Rover of Finland]

Wigan- Aston Villa off

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Ok guys travelling from Blackpool.

A bit of advice please - want to avoid the hills if possible - so considering either M65 (and park in Darwen) or park somewhere off Preston New Rd.

Any thoughts on which is the better option - and where I could safely park - either just off M65 or anywhere around Woodlands Hotel area.

Thanks
