The police knew it was going to happen After arresting the burnley lot,The police got pelted by the blackburn lot with bottles and lumps of wood.surprised more were not arrested. I went to the return fixture at turf moor,it was just has bad,had a good laugh though http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/blackburnrovers/derby/5263130.Trouble_mars_East_Lancashire_derby_clash/
Went to one of these derbies in the 80's at Turf Moor.
Now, I have witnessed some 'football violence' in my time,
this was something else!
Blokes on a roof, chucking slates at the Rovers fans.
They really don't like each other at all!
Slates? we had coins bricks ,planks of wood thrown at us v the scum on the st valentines day massacare last year and the funniest bit,, some scummer shaking the railing,, he got arrested for that
Portsmouth f.c , sailing into a new dawn.
Been to all these since 1982. Never fail to impress if you fancy a bit of the old shoe leather-to-forehead action. If you are in the know then it's simple enough to find, like it is for any lads of any club looking for a bit.
Thing with these convictions for me personally is the length of sentences for all concerened,including those fuck-wit dingles, when there was no violence committed between the lads involved.
I wasn't at the Station (pub) after the match but by all accounts there were 'gentlemen' from the old Blackburn days there who hadn't been on the scene for a long time.
It was common knowledge that visitors were on their way. The locals knew it. The police knew it and both were waiting.
The idiot Porter was taken from Burnley to Blackburn (13 miles) by cab but taken to the Station (train) instead of Station (pub)approx 3 miles off course!! 
. Never had any fisticuffs and he got 5 years. Fuckin plum.
I know Blackburn lads who were nicked and banged up for 24-hours but not charged who were only having a drink that night and were seriously disturbed by what they were told they could get for simply having a pint intheir local and gobbing off on the street when 30 knob-heads turned up from Burnley.
The police force is strong......... be carefull out there kids........
