Haven't been for a looooong time and it's the lad's first home game - can anyone advise best route (presume M1, M6) and more importantly, quickest way to get out after the game?
We have a pass for car park H near the ground, but not sure whether certain roads get closed on match days.
Was thinking of leaving around 2pm in the hope of getting parked up around 5 ish, then get some grub, go in the shop etc in plenty of time.
Any advice much appreciated!! Thanks.

travelled it fairly regularly over the years from the derbyshire side of sheffield , get the right weather and its one of the most beautifull drives in the country get the wrong weather and it can be hell on earth , you should be alright this time of year though , enjoy your day and lets hope we get the result .scarty10 said:glyncity said:m1 jct 35 a ( just after meadowhall , sign posted manchester woodhead pass ) then follow the road , more or less takes you straight to the ground , first roundabout after m1 theres a premier inn with a " taybarns " , if you v never been to a taybarns its an all you can eat buffet for £6.50 and that includes unlimited soft drinks /coffee tea etc , oh and watch for the average speed cameras at the sheffield end its 50 mph for about the first 10 miles or so , as you enter manc follow signs for sportcity .
