No but there are thousands of West Ham and Fulham fans travelling to Blackburn and Liverpool up the same motorways and additional ones as well.
The difference is their councils have a bit of balls and don’t use H & S has an excuse to stop anything they can.
There will be thousands of rushing shoppers in and around Robin Park with babies, buggies the lot. At least we could have been sat in the snow free stands looking at a lush green pitch.
It’s an fekin joke and I’m an health and safety manager. :roll:

Probably also helped that it hasnt snowed in Blackburn either
Wots that got to do with the conditions of the motorway from villa to wigan. Are the west hams fans going by hovercraft or summut.
The spokes person for wigan Athletic said the area around the ground, terraces and pitch are ok. A bit like blacburns if they’ve had no snow. 8-)
They may have taken into consideration the local transport network being fo oked up as well

……and it wouldn’t be a problem getting a couple of thousand cars in and out of the car parks 9″ deep in snow (or what’s left after the snow ploughs have done their best) would it? I don’t think Dave would be too happy with all the claims following all the bumps that would happen.
