Driving any sort of distance is in no way an exact science. You have two choices
If you drove a suped up Nova with an 8" diameter exhaust like Terrace you too could leave at 6.30.

| When you're travelling over you'll need to be aware that, depending on how many of you are travelling, the approach to Widnes can get snarled up a bit. There are road works and silly traffic lights (silly because they let about three cars through on each change). There are three routes into Widnes from the motorways and from St Helens and they converge on a single carriageway. When Warrington came, it took 45 minutes for my bus to get from St Helens to Widnes, which is approximately 7 miles. Most of that time was spent sitting on that bloody road going nowhere. Now, you won't be bringing as many as Warrington - no-one does these days! - but if people leave it late then there is a possibility they will get held up as they enter Widnes.
Just a friendly warning to bear in mind!
A couple of other hints for those of you who haven't been before: if it is anything below 20 degrees then you may well need to bring warm clothing. There seems to be a permanent breeze into the stands and also the back of the North Stand can leak if it rains. You may be in the West Stand, which is the official away end, but that wasn't opened for the Quins match so it may not be for the Bradford match either, presumably that depends on how many tickets you buy.
If you like a hot drink and you purchase said hot drink at the stadium, bring gloves. You will NOT be able to carry a hot drink for more than about ten seconds. A number of us complained to Halton council about this but as at our last match there no-one had listened. They still use plastic cups for hot drinks, making them impossible to hold without gloves on.
Oh, and there is street parking around the stadium as well as on the roads off the main road opposite the stadium. There is also a car park near to the stadium (not the stadium car park as that is passes only). If the stadium is to your left, then take the left turn just before you get to the stadium (you will see the stadium well ahead of you). There is a car park down that road on the left. Presumably they charge.

I dont finish work till 5:30, get home for six ready for half past, this would mean booking half a day off, therefore i dont think i will be getting the coach

Got a similar problem with getting to the Legends game before the Leeds home game. Think I'll be working by Blackberry from about 4!

| Haven't seen a KO time confirmed yet, was going to compare it to u20s but I guess they aren't playing a full 80 mins? 20 mins each way was it for the one they did for the centenary?

| I must admit I thought 5.15 was a little early but I suppose it is coach speed times. Glad I don't have to rely on the coach though because getting to Odsal for that time on a Friday would be nigh on impossible for me.
