Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Left well after the final whistle, quick chat in City Square. Then back to the car park (no 2), 15 minutes stripping off all 7 layers of clothing, quick cup of tea and a ham sandwich whilst the car park cleared. Tom Tom warning me of severe delays with predicted time of arrival in Brum 11.55pm!. Drove straight off the car park, tiny bit of traffic on Alan Turing Way, into Manchester over the Mancunian Way, A5103 onto M56 then M6 to Brum and got home around 10.25pm.
So not that bad really, roads were very iffy once we left the M6 at Junction 12 for the lat 20 miles or so.
