Match day traffic WTF

[DaveP67 is back!]

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!

M5 coming from the M6 is ok but up the M5 or via M42 forget it, I park by the vine usually and it’s straight onto the M5 North usually very quick.

M5 from the M6 is definitely not ok on evening matches and after 1pm on Saturdays.
