In theory Mrs B, but last year we traveled one hundred miles, or more to the semi, “there’s a song in there” whilst the saints had to get over around twelve miles.

It was indeed, I went with my dad and his pal, I was late for school the next morning and the form teacher at Boulevard, Jack Harrison, was a Rovers fan and gave me a weeks worth of detention, still never dampened my joy at what I was lucky enough to witness. My older brother went on coach and didn't get into the match until just before half time, the traffic was that chaotic.

Me too, but I'd be too nervous to enjoy it- I always hate derby day, makes me that nervous! It is true I never enjoy them until we are in a winning position, which we usually are of late, anyway.

Forty years on from the 1982 Cup Final Replay...
In my forties then and after seeing the drawn match at Wembley was unable to make the replay as I was in the US on a company business trip from Aus. Before leaving Aus in order to make the Wembley game I reorganised the business trip and reversed the original itinerary by starting the trip in England and finishing in the US. Rang my wife to get the result and watched a recording of the match when I returned home.
Trivia alert! '40 Years On' was my high school song which was bashed out at the end of every school year. Originally written for Harrow school in the late 19th century and used as a school song by many other schools.
