"Unlike others on here I thought the stadium was like so many other new ones, a characterless steel and breeze block edifice. The concourse floors were like banana skins too, a few folk almost went ass over tit. Also, what a pain in the ass getting there and back. No wonder the Brighton fans look miserable, even though they had won 3 0, having to go through that every game. They really are a bunch of miserable gits."

Would he like some cheese with that whine?

As opposed to getting what 10k every home game at like £20 per ticket.

Blackburn is in my top 3 shitholes of football towns visited.

Luton, Blackburn, crystal palarse.

Top three, the place is knocking on the top spot imo

Haven't actually been to Blackburn, got as far as Wigan season. I will go this season bit do not have very high expectations of what it will be like.

although a bad injury list. They do have some good young players who are being given their chance.

Rovers had the chances. But their keeper made some good saves to be honest.
If they had a goalscorer they would have gone up last season, maybe even the season before !

But we shipped 3 goals against their reserve team, not good !

:thumbsup:

Only problem with Blackburn away this year is that is on FA Cup 5th round day, and chances are one if us will still be in the cup, meaning it will move to midweek. Shame as I wanted to go to that one this season.

Who cares what they think of us, they are a small club and Blackburn is a dump.
I didn't see any miserable Albion fans after the match.

That's what happens when you let your whippets piss anywhere :lolol:

I find it hard to believe a Blackburntonian finds it hard to walk on rain soaked bare concrete.

Surely that's their natural habitat.

I went to Ewood Park last season, where we scored a spawny and, let's be honest, undeserved 96th minute penalty equaliser, to snatch a draw.

Miserable doesn't even begin to describe the reaction of the locals to that one. As the group I was with left the ground, chatting amongst ourselves, the southern accents must have identified us as Albion fans, and I remember one bloke coming up to us and saying "We ****ing hate queers in Blackburn, we do. Do you know what we do to queers in Blackburn?".

We walked on, saying nothing and preferring not to get involved, whereby the same bloke and his mate came up to one of our number, called him a "****ing Paki", and threatened to stab him.

Left me with a lovely impression of the place, as if the drive around the town before the match hadn't already done so.

Cobbles, I'd have thought?

One person's opinion, I don't know why anybody cares when someone slags our ground off :shrug:

BN9 BHA · Nov 9, 2013

I am glad a few Blackburn fans slipped up on the concourse today, when I went to watch the Albion play at Blackburn in 1978, those b@stards bricked our train, what goes around comes around.

He's got a point about the floor. The floor is very slippery.

He's also got a point about a pain in the arse to get to. It's 286 miles door to door from Ewood Park. Other than flying, travelling that distance is a pain in the arse, unless you take a charmed scenic route with pleasurable stopovers.

Mackenzie · Nov 9, 2013

Its never nice being beaten by a team who you would consider beneath you.

God bless you Blackburn Rovers, Sutton and Shearer, Roy Wegerle and Jack Walker....ghosts of Blackburn's past.

"Brighton has become a right Bo Ho community and I thought their fans were a miserable bunch of snobby types. Not a pleasant trip there, and I would have said that had we won 10-0! Give me Barnsley any day."

I suspect this chap would score quite highly on the "How Northern are you?" test...

GT49er · Nov 9, 2013

Of course we are miserable - we couldn't manage to put more than three past Balckburn Venki Chickens Inc. That has to go down as a bitter disappointment.

I have never slipped up on the concourse , the poor northerners must have been wearing worn out shoes. :smile:

Or something to do with drinking 10 pints.
