Aye the tales from the pre premier league days are mental. The bubble matches they have now have diluted that a bit now though.
When I went to Turf Moor, for a 12.30 kick off, the buses left from outside Ewood Park around 9am (for a 12 mile journey) with a police convoy up the motorway then on arrival they had steel fences, that wouldn't have looked out of place in 1970s Belfast, separating the fans.
Was a bit of a long day and it puts many of the regular fans off from going but I still enjoyed it as a one off.
