Having just arrived back home in Knaresborough after god knows how many hours sat in a car I can confirm tonights events were pretty extreme ,luckily we were running late so got filtered off the M62 avoiding the grid lock between the 2 junctions.Normally travelling to Hull games on the M62 once your past Ferrybridge is a doddle we normally set off 6-6.30 on fridays and make kickoff. If the Hull players were caught up in it at about 5 then they would have plenty of time even allowing for reasonable delays.
Anyway we'll be back on the M62 sunday battling through the snow no doubt.

supposedly it was something called Benzole or Benzene which is used in the making of petrol and tarmac. but in its raw form is reactive and it corroded the road surface and thus the area had to be replaced. plus totally cleaned up in case someone decided to throw fag out and set if on fire accidentally.

Heard something similar. If so the Tarmac may have lifted from the base (or something) so they may leave it shut and resurface the whole lot

The bitumen binder that holds the aggreagte in place in the road is soluble in Benzine/benzol, so the integrity of the running surface could/would have been compromised. (also Benzene is quite carcinogenic)

www.rfu.com/takingpart/coach/coa ... kling.ashx Page 12 of the above paper by Andy Hickling is interesting. It shows what he says is the generally accepted and best practice for pre match preparation timing for the team and players. Albeit it's RU it seems to be in line with what we're doing and with what most people who "think they know" on here have said.

Hurrah, made it to Hull along the M62.
