Good Friday 2011 in Manchester

Lee, I can understand why they would move first class track racing to Manchester and then to Stratford. Both events need support and will almost certainly get it. I am not, however, driving to Manchester on Good Friday, one of the worst driving days of the year, to watch and going by train is prohibitively expensive and one then has to cross Manchester to get to the velodrome all on a public holiday schedule. I would much prefer to cycle down to Herne Hill and watch a lesser class of racing and, if it rains, disappear to the pub with mates.

So it's OK for them to drive down the motorway and across London etc..
I presume that organising a coach from HH to Manc on Thursday night to a hotel, ferry to the track the next day and then either home or another night in the hotel with the riders is a non starter then.
