Whatever the excuse, us fans are here milling about and kicking our heels but the professionals can't make it. Total balderdash. Rang nuneaton and told definitely 3.15 kick off, we knew different.  Some people believed it and went in the ground. Stinks.

I've been saying we need a new coach for months but nobody believes me!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

3 times in how many months? If going slightly off route to pick players up is the problem let's stop it and managers for that matter.

I feel sorry for anyone who booked train tickets in advance!


I feel for the people heading back to Grimsby on what will be the last train from Nuneaton the 19.58, it involves a 2h10m rail replacement bus drive from Donny due into Grimsby at 00.40!!

2nd to last train back is the 18,22 at this rate match might not be even over!

Traffic is traffic , can't blame the club for other persons having accidents . Unfortunate , unavoidable . Setting off    six hours before kick off for a 2 hour journey nothing wrong with thst .

Some common sense, at last, about a situation that is out of the clubs control. Sure , the club could have left earlier but who's to know they wouldn't have got caught up in another traffic jam or even involved in a RTA? Too many fans seem to want to blame the club for anything that happens, even those that are unpredictable. The saddening thing is that this was a road traffic accident and although I don't know the outcome it is quite possible there were casualties or even, God forbid , fatalities ! All this right on Christmas as well. This puts delaying the match or inconveniencing the fans in a different perspective , especially if one of their " nearest and dearest " had been involved.

I drove past this incident just after it happened. The car was very beaten up all over but what struck me was a severe impact close to the rear nearside passenger door. The bit that shocked me most was a child seat seen just inside the car and a stretcher with what appeared to be a small child receiving treatment.

I am not normally easily upset but the sight of this really upset me and did so for several hours after. A friend of mine has other information that suggests a 2 year old lost their life in this accident, although this is speculation and not confirmed, I really hope that is not the case.

The road condition was the worst I have ever seen. Police seemed to be patrolling slowly with blue lights on in an effort to warn drivers that the conditions were treacherous.

I passed one car on its roof in lane 1 just after the first Scunthorpe junction (Forest Pines) before coming across the accident that ultimately closed the road. I probably passed just before it was closed. Several other shunts could be seen on the hard shoulder. The outside lane was like glass, not sure if it was gritted or not but it was like an ice rink.
