Avoid the M5 J1 roundabout like the plague. I missed the start of the Sheffield United match thanks to be queuing for over an hour on the M5. If you must use Junction 1 then you need to be there before 1pm. We usually go via Birmingham City Centre and have a curry before the game and park just off the Birmingham Road on the Handsworth side. Today though, I almost missed the start as I foolishly went via the Scott Arms and Forge Lane; gridlock!
