Fox and Hounds at Ewood is a good place for a pre-match bevvy

And...... haven't you picked the most boring fixture in the history of football as the one to trek from Florida to watch?? OMG! guaranteed to be a total snore-fest (given the option... Sunny Florida - Ewood Park on a wet autumn evening entertaining Sunderland? I know which I would choose!! )

We go in the Fernhurst every week without problem, it's the best boozer in the area

I always head to blues. Its season ticket holders only but I'm sure if you emailed the club they'd be happy to sort you out a couple of passes.

I’m quite keen for heading up for this one but can only take limited time off work, so cannot take the train.

Do we know of anyone who could be driving up from London for this one? (then driving back afterwards as need to be back in work Tuesday morning).

Would obviously contribute to petrol costs etc….

Postal and Aqueduct.
