One thing that certainly has improved is the travelling, to and from away games. As someone who has seen a vast majority my live Liverpool games, from the mid-eighties to present, in the home end of an away ground, some grounds really put the frighteners on me. The worst being St Andrews, horrible ground, horrible fans. Now whilst away fans aren't really 'accepted' in the home end, though saying that, the few times I stood on the Kop, away fans, unless dickheads, were treated well if they behaved, only ever saw 1 lad chucked out and even then the stewards just escorted him to the away section! I've never had an issue in the home end of an away ground itself, but I've seen things happen. Nowadays it's a bit harder to get tickets for the home end, not impossible and whilst I can't get to Anfield as often as I like, I'll be hitting 4-5 away games this season, ticket availability aside.
