Lining up all the way from the station to the stadium to greet them behind their police lines, rumours of them jumping off the train at St Denys or Woolston to avoid the escort, little pockets of skates breaking away and causing grief.

Mental to think there’s a whole generation that haven’t experienced a St Mary’s derby pre bubble.
