Fans of the Carabao Cup encountering transportation disarray after a cow obstructs motorway, causing havoc and frantic attempts to arrive on time for the match kick-off.
Cow on the M62 Causes Travel Chaos for Bradford Fans Ahead of Carabao Cup Clash
A wayward cow caused travel chaos for over 3,000 Bradford fans making their way to Ewood Park for the first-round battle against Blackburn. The cow's actions disrupted the travel plans of the fans, leading to the closure of both sides of the M62 and up to six miles of congestion.
The incident occurred ahead of the Carabao Cup clash between Bradford and Blackburn, causing delays of around 90 minutes as police and Highways Officers worked to safely remove the cow from the carriageway. A photo shows a marked vehicle attempting to guide the cow off the road.
Despite the disruption, Bradford fans arrived at the game on time. The match kicked off promptly at 7.45pm. The early goal scorer for Bradford was Ibou Touray, who netted in the second minute of the game. Bradford doubled their lead moments later, with the goal scored by Will Swan.
Some spectators made cow-based puns in reference to the traffic disruption caused by the cow on the M62 motorway. One fan joked about the possibility of the game starting before calf-time, while another hoped there would be no hoof ball tonight. Bradford's official Twitter account also joined in the fun, stating "Holy cow it's two!" after scoring their second goal.
One spectator hoped the traffic would start moving soon, referring to the cow incident. Despite the travel issues, it seemed that the Bradford fans managed to maintain their sense of humour throughout the ordeal.
