With the Lancashire derby between Blackburn and Burnley tonight, and the possibility Burnley could win the league at Ewood Park, am I correct in thinking this has been one of only two "Bubble games" held in the UK (I think a Pompey Southampton game was then other one)

Official (dry?) coach from your ground to theirs. No stopping, police escort all the way.

Yeah, with no "independent travelling" by visiting fans, so all visiting fans have to go to their own ground to get official non stop transport under police escort to a "sterile zone" outside the away end of the ground they are visiting.
I think a lesser version was implemented for Rangers fans going to the Swamp a number of years ago, but That was an allocated bus park on the outskirts of Manchester or Trafford, visiting Napoli i think all away fans have to meet at the port area and get an official escort to the ground, but not sure if that is essential or just strongly recommended, and I heard that one of the games in Holland have all away fans arrive by train and then have to walk along a tunnel to the away turnstiles

I thought Leeds and Millwall had bubble games?
