Don't remember what time I got there but know it took about 10-12 hours in total. Pretty sure it was fairly early morning, although I was a student then, so that probably means about 11.30am!!
My memory of it isn't great but hadn't the rags just won the Champions League (or the final was coming up that week)? I remember being bored and walking to one of the shops to get a few papers for me and my mates. Got them back to the queue and each one had about 10 pages dedicated to the rags. Sickening. So we didn't bother reading them and just had a ceremonial bonfire outside the Kippax/North Stand corner instead!
I also remember there being some young local lads off the estate riding around on BMXs offering to get food and beer from the shops for you (for a small fee of course). We took them up on the beer option and that's why the rest of the day is a bit of a blur!!!
