I knew it was going to be busy today so i set off early from just outside Huddersfield. A 12 45 start would normally get me to my parking spot just off St Mary s Gate by 1 30.
At 1 15 I hit the tailback of traffic at the Prince of Wales turnoff on the Parkway. By 2 40 I had barely got beyond The Midland station. Here Id been stationary for over ten minutes. By this time I realised my parking spot would be long gone and finding another be a long and pointless task. So reluctantly I did a U turn . The resulting journey back to the M1 took just ten minutes compared to the previous hour and a half inbound one!
I m guessing by kick off a large number of supporters would not have arrived and wonder just how many like me turned around and went home? First time in 50 years of support I have never got to ground for any reason at all.
