Football this weekend, we're nicely into Chapter One of the season now

Loads of Bank Holiday engineering to be aware of:

For you away fans heading on the highways and byways...

SATURDAY 29th

Blackburn v West Ham (3pm)

M6 to J29, M65 J4, A666, right at the first set of traffic lights and Ewood Park is just over a mile on the right. You can park near the ground in one of the private car parks for about a fiver. Be aware the police close a lot of roads in the area afterwards for about 30 minutes for the safety of pedestrians; if you want to avoid the jams this causes you could try continuing on the on the A666, past the Total garage on the left, right at the next lights and head to the industrial units where you can park for £3. After the game turn left out of the car park and back up to the M65.

Man You v The Arsenal (5.15pm)

M6 J19, A556 towards Altrincham, A56 towards Manchester for about 6 miles. There's some private car parks near the ground, or you can park in the Cricket ground next door for about a tenner. Or, here's a good one especially as it's a late K.O. - try Salford Quays Lowry Mall, a ten minute walk away from the stadium, it's a nice walf over the Canal, and if you're early enough you can check out the Lowry Gallery - and it's much easier to get out afterwards.

Scunthorpe v QPR

M180 J3, M181, the ground is at the end of this stretch of Motorway. Turn right at the first roundabout onto the A18 and right again into the large car park at the ground.

Tranmere v Charlton

Get this wrong and you'll be driving around Birkenhead for hours..(LOL). M56, M53 J4, B5151 Mount Road, becomes Storeton Road, right into Prenton Road West and you'll see the ground on the right.

Or, you can go M53 at Junction 3 and take the A552 Woodchurch Road towards Birkenhead. Watch the residents parking scheme.

Have fun!
