Star Lady Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I haven't seen this anywhere else, apologies if it has been posted. There are major roadworks on the A47 around King's Lynn which will probably have a big impact on people coming to the Norfolk Arena, which is accessed via one of the slip roads involved. The A47 itself is down to single carriageway contraflow at that point and with the start of the school hols, extra caravans being towed as it's the main road to the east coast and the SWC that road is gonna be very busy. I went that way this morning and the queues were bad. I'm not going into how to get round it as it would be unfair to the people who live in the villages nearby BUT folks leave plenty of time and use a fair bit of patience. Alternatively use your map to find a way round and not your sat navs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Better still, save the petrol money, buy some nice beer, scran and get a good seat on the sofa, saves any aggro, hair loss and agitation, YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 You are welcome to use those roads. I'm just not telling you which ones are the best to use some of those roads are little more than single track so if everyone used the same route you wouldn't go very fast. I was simply trying to be helpful as many people don't see the local news, I wonder why I bothered! However for the majority of nice folk on the forum there is a protest scheduled for the A17 tomorrow morning which will involve lots of tractors. Hopefully it will be over before the majority of fans arrive but anyone who uses that A17 knows how much chaos one tractor causes let alone a convoy of them. None of this will bother me, my seat on my comfy sofa is already booked 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) My God you are a misery guts westhamboy as well as being unecessarily sarcastic. I don't think anyone said don't use local roads bit it wouldn't be fair to send everyone the same way through certain villages. Or just leave plenty of time for your journey and all will be fine.

Daniel Smith Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Also, please do abide by the 30mph speed limit. Almost 3000 speeding tickets have been handed out over the last 2 and a half weeks. The average speed cameras are fully functioning Edited July 25, 2014 by screamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
