The vast majority of matches now are totally peaceful affairs even the Derby is nothing like it used to be. The exceptions are Derby games between two near by towns yesterday was a prime example. Attended both the east and west Lancs derby's last season both games passed off without major incident but my god the hatred and fury in the crowds was really scary and the level of policing required was insane. A Preston fan found in the Blackpool seats or a Blackburn fan in the Burnley stands would have been lucky to escape with his life. Believe in South Wales, Hampshire and the North East its at least as bad. The nearest thing for us is Liverpool and its many years since I've seen them at City. Yesterday always a disaster waiting to happen probably due to ticket touting inadequate policing and Wolves fans inability to keep a lid on it. Been in the home ends at Everton , Leeds, Liverpool, Palace, Stoke, Port Vale and this season Burnley only at Everton was I sussed and got a few digs but lived to tell the tale.
