Watching it now, great end to end game watching without the pressure. I am in the Blackburn end behind the goal.
That’s where we were. Kept quiet until we realised most people near us were Blues
Almost the same but I was in the stand opposite the cameras and in a stubborn moment, refused to pay the tout £100. I said it was on principle. I’d pay £90 but not £100.I was unlucky I was right in the middle behind the goal and the Blackburn fan's all around knew I was a Blue pretty early doors. The bloke sat next to me on my left was a Blue which helped but the rest were Blackburn fan's who kept a close eye on us. They were okay but it would have turned if we jumped up and celebrated our goals. After spending £100 on the ticket my biggest fear was getting kicked out.

Luckily he took it. I sat on my hands for about 10-15 minutes until half the stand went up with a blast of “when the blues go marching in” and then it was easy street.

Absolutely. I watched it on sky the other day and can’t imagine turning away from the ground like I saw many doing because the touts were asking too much. Top 5 City days.It was worth every penny looking back, a special memory.
