I wish more people had not gone, would have got home quicker.
I made what turned out to be a wise decision to travel on the Supporters Club Coach rather than drive. Purely coincidental as I booked our seats 2 weeks ago so it was a big stroke of luck. Driving round the back streets after the match in those conditions musn't have been pleasant. Don't they send the gritters out in Manchester anymore ?
Rochdale Road was indeed an absolute nightmare (I thing the problem must have been at Blackley). Fortunately our Coach Driver managed to turn around and divert via Moston Lane otherwise we would have been stuck for a lot longer. Even then we didn't get home until 12.30 am and that's our normal time after an 8pm KO !!
Lightbowne Rd and Vic East next time it snows. The climb where lion pubs where was the problem, went on a right detour.
TBH, when I take the car to the match I don't go near Rochdale Road anyway.
I've found the quickest route to the M60 is down Broadway and getting on it at the Boat & Horses. Less chance of heavy traffic.

The fact I had a seizure, fell downstairs and fractured 3 vertebrae in my spine stopped me unfortunately. Sorry

What a lot of tales of woe !
Good job we don't all support a team in Sweden / Finland / Iceland / Russia / etc ... or else all our home games would be empty.

Come on, FFS, Billy, yer could have organised a stretcher, gone up in the lift, and got one of the lovely stewards to tilt said stretcher so yer could have had a decent view.

fully understand why people didn't go to this and left early.
i did neither but we nearly crashed and didn't make it all the way so i slept at my dads on the way back.
there was mayhem all the way home with people knocking into stuff/eachother.
i thought it was a great turnout considering.
