Tens of thousands of fans are expected to travel to Wembley on Saturday
Manchester City and Manchester United supporters have been urged to take different travel routes down to Wembley and stop at different service stations on the way ahead of the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Motorway service stations – which have occasionally been the scene of violence between opposing football supporters – have also been allocated to each club. There are no plans to enforce the guidance, however. It's been issued as a way to try to ensure a smoother flow of motorway traffic on what is expected to be an exceptionally busy down on the motorway network.
TfGM said people “concerned” about travelling to the match “may want to consider making a weekend of it in London”. “In addition to the football traffic, returning half-term journeys could also play a part in weekend jam misery with roads leaving many holiday destinations likely to be especially busy.
