The team bus eventually picked them up in Birmingham, with many fans travelling back to get home in time for work tomorrow also caught up in the mayhem.

Manchester Airport has had to cancel 86 flights after a power surge affected fuel supplies - and no aircraft could be refuelled.

Some 13,000 passengers have been affected.
