Great result. Crap journey getting there.
I set off in my car at 1120 rendezvous with my brother at our Aunt's in Maidstone.
First problem. The M20 junction for J5 was closed so we had to detour through the town centre. Had they bothered to signpost simply going around the Running Horse roundabout and back onto the motorway would have saved 45 minutes in solid crawling traffic.
Second problem. Roadworks on the M25 leaving traffic queuing in one lane on the M26 for two miles.
This is because the useless bastards activated "smart motorways", doing away with the hard shoulder without building emergency areas in case of breakdowns. Now they are retro fitting them.
Third problem. "The improvement" of the junction with the A3 from the M25. One lane again. This time everyone, no not everyone, queuing to get off. Other arseholes coming along in lane two to force their way in, often stationary in an active lane two with traffic moving at 60mph.
We eventually got away and arrived at the car park by the football ground at 1450!!!
Enough time to hot foot it in just before the kick off.
The return was better with the only major holdup the A3 to M20 junction road works.
And a repeat of the third problem with wankers pushing in without queueing.
I finally arrived home via Maidstone at 1930.
What a day. Terrible UK roads. Great game though.
