jj77 Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 If you're talking about the Cumberland Basin, they can't open any more lanes as the tarmac has been completely dug out. They could have done this over the summer when there are no matches and schools are closed though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Myself and a couple of mates are currently tunneling alongside the M4 towards Reading in an attempt to save ourselves a few quid? If possible we would like to build a network of tunnels terminating at our various away games throughout season 22-23. Any financial contributions or explosives would be greatly appreciated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duplicate effort there. Why not use the existing network? Meet me in the Dolman concourse tomorrow for details. (I'm kidding of course. The first rule of Tunnel Club is ...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
