Re: Hyndburn Chat
I drove for Ribblesdale Batty Holt coaches on holiday tours when I first moved to Accrington. At the end of the holiday season we had the job of carrying Burnley and Blackburn football team and supporters to away matches.
I’d just returned from a Lake Garda tour and the week after told to take Blackburn Rovers team to Milwall. After the match I had about a dozen mounted police escorting the coach away from the ground. It was very scary.
A couple of weeks later I did Carlisle and same again, bricks etc thrown at the coach.
Next time I was told to take the team coach I handed my fuel card and Garage key back to the boss and told him to stick the job.
That’s my experience of football 40 odd years ago.
