"King's Lynn was always going to be a silly place to visit for a midweek friendly, to be honest. Whilst it's easy to get to for the Boston-based supporters, let's not forget that the nucleus of our squad lives in Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield areas. King's Lynn is a nightmare of a place to get to from these areas - it's further that you think and it's laden with hazards that slow the journey down - predominantly single track roads, roundabouts and tractors. Oh, and Tesco lorries that stick to 40mph in a 60mph zone. My journey time last night was approximately two hours in each direction. When you combine a day's work, the travel factor and a football match, you've got to expect your players will be tired and not at their best."
Might be silly for a friendly, but few teams in this division are close to Boston. Midweek away games at such places as Barrow, Workington, Vauxhall etc etc will be more challenging travel wise.
Good thinking that the club set up a friendly that the local fans can easily get to.
All HGV's are restricted to 40mph on single track roads. ( 50 on dual carriageways, and 60 on motorways)
