M1 southbound closed between J29 & J28 due to an accident, due to re open at 11, though I'd imagine it'd be very trafficous for a while

Ah ffs!!!

If you're going from Grimsby, you can take the a46 to Lincoln and turn off at the a617 towards Mansfield and meet the a38 there that goes to alfreton

or go through Sheffield/Chesterfied

Just come off the M18 onto the A1. Very busy and stop start.

Moving again now it was probably just at the junct

just about to leave, should we go via lincoln or on the M1 ??

Lincoln way is slow too, just been stationary for 20 mins on the cainby corner way in

I would avoid the m1 and also the A1 which I am on right now and crawling again

Just gone past the problem on the A1 it's a two vehicle smash. Both cars off the road now so should be ok

m6 stationary south bound 23 - 16  diverting through stockport -chesterfield

Anyone going lincoln way, after you get theough the traffic into lincoln (flipping caravans) it looks pretty clear!!! On way to newark atm! Cya all at alfreton

In pub just outside Alfreton. Crossed over the M1 on the way from Nottingham. It was at a standstill, both ways.

Safe travelling guys

On a 61 7 miles out. Standstill

The players should read this thread and think about the efforts people go to in order to support Town.

In the ground now and someone just told me the team coach is stuck in traffic

Tondeurs tweeted players arent here:/

Heard the same!!!!!

Not for the first time! Why does it always happen to us?? Hope everyone is safe and well

Once again the club's logistics planning a total joke.  The game's going to kick of late now with the players rushed and knocked off their pre-match routine, all because we can't get our s*** together and set off early/travel down the night before.

This is the third time now that we've had preparations disrupted because of trying to cut it fine with the travel.  True Amateur Hour stuff.

Team set off at 11:30 it's 85 miles how the f**k is that the clubs fault?

The traffic warning was issued at 8am this morning....

Clearly, they didn't set off early enough.  Even allowing two hours, that still gets them there at 1330.  Would it have killed them to leave at 0900 or to have travelled the night before then had the morning in Alfreton for stretching, massages and final prep? I'm sure the club thought they'd given plenty of time for Macclesfield when they showed up late there too.

Are you serious? It's Good Friday, one of the biggest travel days of the year! There has been a big misjudgement.

We'll see what the boys are made of!

We set off at 10.30 and we are not there yet
