Pre-Season games 2017/18

Might be the first time we see a full strength starting 11

The Nix's new Serbian striker, Andrija Kaludjerovic only came on at the 70 min mark against Blacktown City yesterday, so he's one that sounds a looong way off being match fit.

I have no idea what traffic is like from Baulkham Hills, but I was driving to/from Parra up untill some months ago and that was usually fine as long as you don't leave Parra between 16:00 and 17:00 and most of that is down to the traffic around M2/Pennant Hills Road - that's the bit that'll slow you down. The F1 is mostly flowing OK after 17:30 I reckon.

Still going to take you a good 45 minutes+ from Hornsby to Pluim I reckon though, so might be pushing it a bit to get there for kick-off.

Thanks for both replies. Was able to change to 5pm so hopefully will make it in time!

What's traffic like on the F3 on a weekday evening? I am leaving Baulkham Hills at 5:30, will I make it to Pluim by 7?

very doubtful......Pennant Hills Road and Kariong will kill your timing....

Do yourself a favour
- take the Ourimbah exit off of the Freeway .... NOT the Kariong exit

 

[Wombat]

Kariong is no longer an issue but Narara to Lisarow will be heavy. As Rowdy said go via Ourimbah. You will definately make it in time from BH if you left at 5.30pm. Pennant Hills Rd will be easing by then.

Heavy at entry but always flowing.. As already said you much better getting off at Ourimbah. Kariong can be busy coming down the hill and Narara to Lisarow is now Completely stuffed as Wombat has said.

You looking about 45mins from start of F3 to Pluim via Ourimbah, Penno will be your issue and nobody knows what that road can dish up.

All depends on your driving style, but what ever it is be prepared for someone up the back of you even if you love speed. Even the dick heads get dickheaded. Somehow it all works 90% of the time.
