    Anyone know a decent pub for food before game Tuesday. I Plan on setting off at 4pm especially with tea time traffic so should get down there for 5,30 hopefully from where I am but don't fancy having a maccies at sandbach services, would prefer some better grub. Last time I went vale my old man drove.

    Cheers

    You'll be lucky getting to the M62 in that time, I would get down there much earlier and do a reccy on some pubs just off the M6 for around 5.00pm at the latest, getting anywhere at anytime is a nightmare in this country nowadays ....

    I am driving down from east lancs so only 1hr 20 mins from my house and I drive for a living (been in Stafford today) so know how bad the motorways are.

    For those travelling down, depending on where in the Bradford area you are will contribute to how long it's going to take.
    I've been working in Tunstall right behind the stadium the last 6 weeks and coming home anything between 15:00 and 17:00.
    On a good day it's taken 1hrs 45mins to get to the top of the M606, others it's taken 2hrs 15mins.
    I know that's this way but trust me, the traffic going West on the 62/M60 and South on the M6 has been horrendous.
    I'm setting off at 15:45 just to make sure.
    As for Tunstall, an absolute dump and not many pubs.
    One I've seen called the Wheatsheaf is a 5 min drive to Vale Park but I've not seen much else around there, although looking on Maps, there is quite a few more towards Burslem so will head there before kick off.

    Maybe not hugely, but the route will be down the M6 and through Stoke.
