Is there any chance the ref could delay Ko to get as many fans in as possible?

I reached J26 of the M1 at 6pm and got into the ground about 5 mins into second half. Nightmare. Though one of the supporters coaches went down the hard shoulder and were pullled by the police just off the junction.

That would have been our coach.
We had been stuck on the M1 for over 4 hours. Driver saying once he came off he’d have to park up as he was over his driving allowance.. Seems there was a ex- police officer on the coach. He made a call and the police brought a relief driver to the motorway junction. We got an escort to the ground.

Shite away trip in all honesty, 4 hours down, 4 hours back, food on the ground was the worst I’ve had and also up for work at 5.
You live and learn

At least we won

Sounds like that was to allow the relief driver to take over.
