I remember the Blue Arrow supporters trains to away games : the train had The Blue Arrow sign on the front of the train 👠|  |

That is correct Phil. David was very much the leading light of the Blue Arrow project. | | | |

Was it a general fanzine or aimed at the travelling support hence the name? |  | | |

I remember it as just the special train that took us to away matches. | | | |

Those were great times.
I certainly did not go on every Blue Arrow trip but I did several.
'Morningtown Ride' by The Seekers the first record played each time on the piped music system as I recall. |  | | |

took my mrs on the blue arrow to leeds to see her first away game. their corporation double decker buses pulled right up as near possible , to ferry all the town fans to elland road.
my mrs wanted to know why we were going up stairs on the bus. i told we would get a better view of leeds , not that bricks might be coming through the window. sure enough the bus after ours had it windows smashed.
if memory is correct think we lost three two |  |

I would love to know just how many actual Blue Arrow trips there were as opposed to special trains.
I know that I went to lots of away games in the late 1960's and early 1970's that were by special train but they were certainly not all Blue Arrow.
We lost 3-2 at Leeds at the end of 1973/74 which just about clinched the title for Leeds and I know I went by train which I think was a 'special' but not sure that it was Blue Arrow because I think that they had just about stopped running by then. | | | |
