Gridlock

[grafikhaus]

Bloody students and their mummies and daddies in their Home Counties Volvos.

"Tarquin, are you sure you'll be all right up here with all these Northern oiks?"

More like 'Tray-cee, this is West Street where you'll be getting shagged most nights.'

Are they included in the attendance

Well it won't include me. Waited for a bus at Lodge Moor from 12.45 and have given up. No buses going up or down. What a fucking country this is.

Now where's that wine...?

 

[robbiez666]

Ring road is basically gridlock. I wouldn't bother with a bus unless it's an 18 or 19 or another which skirts major roads.

The league scheduler has to be reminded we have the fewest days between matches along with 2 other clubs. The wendy have had the last two final games of the season at home and stick them with Uni move in weekend next season.

 

[Jonboy60]

Train strikes also. You should be OK if you travel by helicopter though

Landing directly in ‘H’ block.

 

[GrayBlade]

I know half a dozen people who’ve given up, shocking organisation by everybody concerned!

It’s not like this should have caught the club, City or any organisation by surprise and surely it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of expectation for somebody at the Lane to have asked for the game to be moved to teatime, Sunday or even let the EFL know that we should be given an away fixture on Fresher’s Saturday. It’s only United that’s affected really.

They should get it every season Toronto, they don’t even have to come into the city to get to the Sty. We’re slap in the centre of the Hallam migration.

 

[GrayBlade]

Welcome, kids, to the land of professional moaning and inverted snobbery.

We we dropped my oldest grandkid off at Nottingham Uni HOR this morning but of course that’s diffferet, he’s a Blade.

 

[Muttley]

2.45. Hardly any bugger here!

 

[GroovyBrad]

4pm kick off incoming

 

[shrubbery]

Set off from Wickersley at 12:30 - got to the Lord Nelson at 14:00. Nightmare journey.

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

4pm kick off incoming

That would be too clever...

 

[Robby Blade]

I left Peter St at 1:30. Got home at 2:45. Couldn't be arsed to get changed, run down t lane and miss the first half. What a fuckin shambles this City has become.

 

[shorehamview]

Bloke who sits behind me with his kids got here just before Billy scored.
I managed to get parked near the Lion and in the Cremorne for just after 1 if that helps.

Nowt wrong wi Volvos

[Eric Cartman]

Going home wasn’t without it’s challenges either ffs. An hour for a usual 15 minute journey.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Fucking students. Half of them doing pointless shit Degrees in Basket Weaving and Media Studies. Now there all here I can’t wait to walk around the town centre listening to the fucking arseholes saying ‘like’ in every fucking sentence. Twats.

 

[RammyBlade]

Fucking ridiculous - took me over an hour to get from bottomof Granville road to get parked

 

[SwissBlade]

I got parked up easily just off Cemetery road. Got chatting to a nice chap from North Yorks on my way down and still made it into the Cremorne for 14:30

 

[WhiteHawk]

This isn't the first time we've had this either. We had the same for the Norwich game last season and for 2 or 3 season before that too. It's absolutely ridiculous, and it's only going to get worse with all the extra student accommodation that is being built. Someone, whether it's the club, the council, the universities, whoever it is, needs to make sure that in the future, we're not at home on the same day the students move in. Thankfully I was fully aware of how bad it was going to be so I set off early enough, and knew to go a different way once I got into the centre, to make sure we weren't in any danger of missing kick off. (We were in the Clubhouse for 1.30 after leaving Stocksbridge at 12.20)

I hate shifting kick off times/days as much as anyone, but in this case, perhaps we’d have been better off playing tomorrow, especially with us only just playing on Wednesday night?

Sheffield 10K tomorrow, although that didn't stop them having the Sheffield derby on the same day last season......

They must be an improvement on last year's intake then if they only say "like" once in every sentence. When a group of them walked in, we used to have a sweep on which one would get to 20 "like"s first

Bert from Bramall Lane to his on the (far) edge of Lincoln residence after the final whistle : 1 hour 3 minutes.

“The Far Edge of Lincoln”
Is it a new dark sci-if series? Or a remake of Robin Hood?

 

[sitwell]

Got to feel for the Eddie Stobart driver stuck on the Lane outside the away end at 5 to 3 ,if his Tacho ran out of drivers hours would the old bill let him move it I wonder ?

 

[SB_90]

The song took new meaning today. So how Big was the queue you were in to travel to the match

From Hyde Park Flats to Wadsley Bridge

I could be way off because i never went to university, i just didnt fancy having 40k of debt & i felt id reached my intellectual ceiling (if thats a phrase) during my 3rd year of college around December/January. But anyway i digress. Most of them pay for lectures they never attend. They are too busy getting up at 2pm, there was 1 on scott mills show on Thursday afternoon who had gone out mon tues wed & despite heavy cold planning on Thursday too. Had only set foot in uni on mon morning to enrol

It was nice of him to keep the engine running and choke us all to death in the queue, though.

Your first week at uni (Freshers’ Week) is just basically enrolling and going out boozing every night, so nothing new here. Week two is when the timetable of lectures and seminars start.

Glad to hear Bert's helicopter is still working nicely.
