Between Accie and Burnley. Big tailbacks. Could be a problem.

Was just about to post this. May cause some issues for fans tonight!

Its such a nice day I'm contemplating driving to it through the Trough of Bowland

Any updates please ?

Moving but at a snails pace. Surrounding roads also looking chocca

I'm about to leave Charnick Richard Services ,any diversion suggestions please.

Ambulance just been past (yes, I’m sat in it!)

Go up one junction further on the M6, take the A59, round Whalley, then through Padiham.

Its a mess pal. Takin ages

Hmm. Looks like over the tops then

What, you're sat in the ambulance! Hope you're ok?

Road now open

Stationary for last five minutes at junction 8.

Just rung my mates re accident and they're stuck beforeJ8. Said some are driving down hard shoulder, but they're being chased by the police, which will be an expensive journey for the drivers.

Started moving again.

Queue starts at junction 6 for Blackburn

jus gone past on train. Stand still jnc 9 and Accy rd....delayed kick off?

24 Chelsea coaches stuck on the motorway. Potentially delayed kick off?

Accident is now cleared but huge tailback.

Jeez, this started at 16:10? I got caught in it at 17:30 and was crawling from junction 7 to junction 9, arriving in Burnley at 18:40 (an hour late). The accident had obviously been cleared up by the time I got back because I didn't see any evidence of a collision. Also saw a couple of people get pulled for driving down the hard shoulder to avoid the tailback.
