BURNLEY fans travelling to tonight's match suffered delays as one lane was blocked on the M65 eastbound between junctions nine and 10 after an accident, a Highways England spokesman said.

The spokesman said traffic was blocked between the two junctions and traffic was backed up to junction seven.

He said: “Normal traffic conditions are expected between 6.30pm and 6.45pm and there were delays of around 10 minutes against expected traffic.”
