There are times I've had to drag myself to some games. It's never been coz we've been shit or I expected a loss but more the continual downgrading of the club done by Corney. Hoping this now changes under AL. Closest for me was all but 2 games where I fell ill towards the end of the season. Annoying to miss out by 2. Closest I'll ever come. Too expensive to do it now. Best I’ve done is 49/52 in 14/15 51/56 in 13/14 & 50/56 in 02/03 Lincoln in the FA Cup was 1,000th competitive game currently on around 50 more overall including friendlies well over 1200 as you say there’s been many dark days where I’ve had to drag myself to games on my own but still I do it. Why? Scared of missing something good aren’t I? It’s the hope that kills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just had a quick look on the Rovers message board. Quite a few on there think they are a big club... they were just like us until Uncle Jack decided to blow his pension on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling the same about this Blackburn game. Shows what the 'big day out' for the fans can do to the team on the day. Four days later and 6,000 travelled to Everton to see another big win. Swansea, Huddersfield, Brighton and Bournemouth were all in League one that season, it's what keeps us dreaming......and on the other hand, so were Tranmere.

Prior to the Jack Walker era they had been English champions twice and FA cup winners 6 times Id say overall their history is abit more illustrious than ours and they would put certainly Burnley and probably Bolton and Preston ahead of us interms of a rivalry. However if we started playing them more regularly then that might change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inspectormorose Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) 23 hours ago, peanuts said: so am i the only one who has actually seen us win at ewood ? 2-0 79 i think stainrods debut ? 2nd March 1974 we won 1-0, I was 9. For some reason it's in my head Alan Groves scored and it was a bit of an outrageous goal, down the wing, cut inside and put it in the top corner but I can't be sure if the goal I'm thinking of was actually in that game! Reason I can place it as that game (after googling our results v them) Is it was also the date of the League Cup Final that year and City beat Wolves. When I was a kid my dad used to take me to Latics one week and City the next, he didn't see an issue with it, he was really a rugby league man, to him it was just taking me watching sport, I remember being in the car on the way home and the celebrations from the Final being on the radio. For those of you too young to remember him http://www.back-post.com/2014/11/05/alan-groves-a-legacy-of-memories/ Edited February 9, 2018 by inspectormorose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brimmers Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 My Uncle John took me to an away game at Blackburn and I think they set something on fire. I can vaguely remember him making me cover my scarf up. Is my memory playing tricks on me, or did it happen and when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my brother one season to see us at Ewood Park, my uncle and aunt used to live up the road in Feniscowles. I can't remember a thing about the score or the match except that at h/t we got two coffees (it was freezing, an open terrace, too cold for beer!). The coffee was revolting and as you got down the cup this horrendous brown sludge began to appear - it really did look like a pile of shit! We threw them away and what was left of the liquid coffee poured out and stained the concrete terracing. True story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really get the ‘if we were this place in the league we’d take this many’ thing. If for 35+ year olds it’s up there with the biggest games I don’t get why our position in the league would factor into your attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We haven’t won away for five months and are in a third tier relegation battle for what feels like the hundreth year running. No other club would take over half their home crowd in our position, most wouldn’t if they were in the automatic places. It’s a cracking effort.
