In the days before widespread TV coverage and companies cocking their noses at fans ..........................
In March 1967 I drove from Manchester to Ipswich (on my own) for the FA Cup Replay - 7:30pm kick-off - (which we won 3-0). I met a fellow fan at the game and learned he was looking for a lift back to Manchester and boy was I glad of his company - talking about City with him kept me awake as I'm sure I'd have nodded off on my own. There weren't too many motorways in those days!!
Nice story and I understand what you're trying to say. But even today you are able to drive to an away game by yourself and end up driving back with another Cityfans next to you.
In 1967 living where I was and still am, I had to hope to get a clear signal from my transistor radio to get the final result. Now I can watch every match on telly or laptop.
However I do prefer the ride down.
