Bus left Falkirk at 6.15 last night and I missed the first 25 minutes of the match. Complete shambles.
Did not get back to Alford until 01:45. Last time I park at Go Glasgow Urban hotel. We had to be at airport by 06:55 so not much sleep but felt better seeing the look on Stewart Milnes face after seeing him sitting next to us in the lounge.We were back in Portlethen (Aberdeenshire) by 00:35, We park at the Quay and its a 25 min walk along PRW so not to bad.

Our supporters bus has been caught a few times after midweek games,we’re convinced the planner is a tim.M74 lane closures on the way home last night as well. Reduced from 3 to 1 around Carmyle. Not for the first time after a Rangers game as well I may add.
M77 was tailed back miles as well before the game. Looked like a crash. 77 is a terrible road on our match days. Missed the start again.
I presume he is 50 years old ?You see that chap Stein Connolly, the head bhoy at Transport Scotland on the TV news often when discussing road problems. Always wears green suit/tie.
That will be another organisation infested by them.
Normally our bus leaves EK around 6.30 for a midweek game which normally gets us in half an hour before KO at the latest.
We were getting dropped off on edminston drive just as the teams were coming out. Got to my seat about 5 minutes in which wasn't so bad.
Driver was saying after the game that plenty of buses were still coming into the bus park around 15-20 mins into the game.
Back to EK around 1045 last night - which is usually the norm anyway
Should try the Quay next time mate, it's not to bad getting away.Did not get back to Alford until 01:45. Last time I park at Go Glasgow Urban hotel.

And I have yet to see anyone working on the stretch of road cones off, I remember one game last year they had both the M8 and M73/74 all down to a single lane and to add insult the two pickups that put the cones out were crawling along the closed lane with the tramps in them and on the back of them abusing us all sitting in the traffic, I would say your thought of the Planner being a Tim stretches further down the tree. I suppose it’s their Disneyland.Our supporters bus has been caught a few times after midweek games,we’re convinced the planner is a tim.
And the outside lane if fecked wae pot holes. Last night hit one just at the EK turn off thought I was going over the barrier, just 200yds after it 2 cars on hard shoulder with punctures, no doubt pot hole to blame77 has been a lane short in each direction since they built it.
The game should have been delayed . Everyone knew trains were off and traffic was chaos.
Very poor from whomever decides these things. Many fans missed out last night.
It was tje same in opposite dire tion too.
Coming in from the east of glasgow the m74 was tailed back all way past Baillieston.
And on the way home the m74 was down to 1 lane at tollcross. Didnt help everyone racing down outside to nip in at last min.
Absolute shambles.
Often wondered that, along with contra flows at the Clyde tunnel all on match days, f@cking muppet planners of just f@cking mentally challenged planners.Why do they always put roadworks on the M74 when we are playing at home on a Wednesday?
The roadworks around the hospital are what made me start getting the train up..I travel up from Helensburgh mate - it’s a total pain in the ass and got significantly worse with new lights towards the new hospital!!
If the council get their way we won’t be able to part anywhere near the stadium!!
Was anything on at Hydro? If so is that the reason traffic was so bad
How bad was it again, 90 f@cking minutes to get to Dumbarton from Ibrox, 25 to get to Ibrox from Dumbarton ffs, who runs the traffic management away from the stadium, btw we were parked outside the police anti terror barriers.
We came from Ayrshire picked my old man up in the mearns and parked up at dumbreck was at the ground for 6pm absolutely zero problems, stayed to the final whistle and walked back to the car was around 10pm and by the time we got home it was 10:30 no problems at all.
Geo,Our bus was back in the Vale about 10:45 ish,couple of pints and was home by 11:30,roads were ok once we got up out of Helen St and onto the M8.After the game I sat drinking soft drinks in the District then at 11pm drove from there to Cardross, was home at 11.40, roads were almost empty.
Said this as well while stuck in it. Almost as though it's planned around Rangers games.M74 lane closures on the way home last night as well. Reduced from 3 to 1 around Carmyle. Not for the first time after a Rangers game as well I may add.
Sitting with my mates who all live in Ibrox, I moved from there eight years ago.Geo,Our bus was back in the Vale about 10:45 ish,couple of pints and was home by 11:30,roads were ok once we got up out of Helen St and onto the M8.
Seems a long time to sit in The District before heading home
