JE90 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Very slow on gritted roads around Derby. ie A6. Un gritted really bad. EM Airport having problems. Yet match still on ? I have just driven home from work and it's very slow on main roads. When I turned off the main road I barely made it up the hill to my house and was moving sideways more than forwards! As it stands, I'll be walking to Derby tomorrow, and will take the majority of fans a fair bit of effort to get there. We're in the hands of the weather Gods in my opinion...let's see how things look in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Very slow on gritted roads around Derby. ie A6. Un gritted really bad. EM Airport having problems. Yet match still on ? Cars can go slow on roads with snow and slush on Planes cant take off on runways with snow or slush on them - they have to suspend flights while the runway is completely cleared. Delays are also caused because ice forms on wings when the planes are waiting to go and they have to be deiced again. Its a complicated process and very possible that an airport could have problems yet a football match be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Correct . Just slid home down A6 and barely made it on to the driveway at home. The issue is not the playing surface or surrounding areas immediate to Pride Park . The issue is people getting to Pride Park for early kick off tomorrow after it freezes overnight.. for me and my son the first problem is going to be getting out of Leeds. I'll worry about PP when i get there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 the busby babes died as a result of this didn't they? yep, initially it was blamed on the pilot but he always said he did everything by the book. He led an investigation into the effects if slush and aquaplaning on takeoff and he was cleared of wrongdoing like all tragedies Munich led to lessons being learned and things being made safer. Until it happened noone really understood how dangerous slush was on takeoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If you skid remember steer into a skid. ie if your back ends skidding left then turn left to correct skid initially then straighten up Cheers Curtains(!!!? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> ) I've always known that saying but in over 40 years' driving no-one has ever told me what it means! Saves me the cost of a white knuckle skidpan drive.

ladyram Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I've been careful walking, still managed to go flat on me back on me way to work. Sometimes i think i'm too cautious and me legs go rigid when im trying to walk. Roads may be clear, downhill paths are bloody horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yep, ta. I'll live, just a bit winded but old people live where the path is and i don't think they'd be as lucky as me. Steep path, no grit, treacherous for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Train from Stoke to Derby cancelled due to signalling problem at Uttoxeter so I won't be getting home tonight. Going to have to get the X50 to Derby ridiculously early tomorrow. I'm going to cry if I miss this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 To be honest I can't see the game being on. The roads are horrendous. It's ok Pride park being clear, but people have to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The people will get there. Clear it, and they will come. Serves people right for moving away. Bris and Daveo have the right idea. Go and stay gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
