Would have been my first Derby game. Had a ticket but didn’t make it.
Travelling on the Leicester & Rugby supporters club coach and north of Sandbach there was an accident. Traffic at a stand still for hours. Just before kick off we limped into Sandbach services and listened to Radio 2 who had the second half commentary.
During the first half another coach pulls up next to us and it’s full of the Devon rags and insults were traded through the windows. One rag waving an axe at us. With the rags winning we were being goaded more and more as the clock ran down and we were becoming more silent sat in our seats, drinking what little beer we had left - until the commentators voice was raised slightly by City being on the attack and Jolly Roger slots the ball home.
Our bus erupts as 50 Blues all on the left side of the vehicle cheering like mad, 50 pairs of two fingers sticking up at the Devon rags, who are now the silent ones, looking at us with plenty of “fuck off’s” shouted back in our direction……
The whistle went and our bus erupts again to more abuse from both vehicles. The traffic by now was moving and off we went north to the Sandbach junction, where we come off and headed south down the M6. The Devon twats were with us the whole way until they split off and went down the M5, the insults and finger gestures continuing until that point.

I've got some vague ( probably imagined ) memory that his dad used to drive the first team coach and drink in The Lloyds in Chorlton?
