Correct. The amount who use the middle lane as one to turn right to Nelson is ridiculous.
I completely agree, you also get the idiots going from the left hand lane and going round to Nelson and from the right cutting across to go towards Barrowford. Complete numptees.

Re: Traffic lights in Nelson

The amount of cars that ignore the road signs and use the incorrect lane at The Thatch as you come down from the motorway before turning right to Nelson or straight on to Barrowford is scary. Nearly had three cars ram into me as a result of them being in the wrong lane. The road markings are barely...

Re: Traffic lights in Nelson

Someone smashed the light on the right hand side of the motorway entrance to Colne from the Barrowford side. It's still there laid on the grass verge. That happened after the lights went off, someone side swiped a car going onto the motorway towards Colne. Looks like they didn't stop coming from Ba...

Considering that the average 'ball in play' time is around 55 minutes per game it's more important to keep hold of it.

Pickford went for 25m when he was 23 years old. Pope is 30.

So lets reduce 1m for every year difference to give a 7m reduction = 18m.

With Pope being half as good as Pickford, I reckon we can get 9m.
