HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE SITUATION WITH THE SCENE TODAY? CAN IT COMPARE WITH WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST, AND DO THINGS STILL GO OFF IN THE SAME WAY?

It’s nothing like the ’80s was, or even the early ’90s. The police are pretty well on top, aren’t they, now? With the bans. People are banned from city centres now, whereas with the earlier bans you were only banned from the game, so you just tagged along. I mean, I’ve been banned twice and I’ve never been banned from town centres, so I’ve just tagged along, I even got to an away game. But now it’s so difficult.

But I think, basically, nowadays it’s for the diehards, if you like, the ones that are committed to it, because it’s so difficult. You’ve got to have a little bit of luck with it as well, you’ve got to be a bit clever. I mean, for an example, Birmingham last season. Leicester had 120 lads in Birmingham from eleven o’clock in the morning without Birmingham knowing they were there. Digbeth High Street was where they were told to go, and they were there at eleven o’clock in the morning. All they did was instead of getting on trains and coaches, they got taxis booked from different areas of Leicester and basically nobody knew where they were going, maybe five or six knew, but the rest didn’t before the taxis turned up and they got to Birmingham. They turned up and they did the business. The Birmingham lot will tell you that. Leicester had them on their toes, it was fantastic, yeah. It was one of the best for quite some time. If you can mobilise 120 lads and get them to Birmingham – all right, it’s not far from Leicester, but you’ve still got to get over there and the lads were there and, yeah, it worked a treat. So there’s your answer – if you’re committed and you really want it.
