Hugely looking forward to this one. 

Plymouth V Blackburn was the first ever Rovers match I saw. The date was 26th March 1988 and I was 8 (30 years ago. How times flies).

We lost 3-0 that day. We were in League two and the attendance was 12,359.

 

 

Rovers in League Two.....please don't give Venky's any ideas.

We lost 3-0 that day. We were in League two and the attendance was 12,359. Our manager at the time was Don Mackay. In the team that day was a certain Ossie Ardilles. Who was tearing Plymouth apart until they kicked him out of the game and broke his leg. A certain Nicky Marker featuring in this. A bit of Rovers Trivia. Ardiles is one of only three ex-Rovers players to have played in a World Cup final. Can you name the over two?

 

 

 

 

 

I was there too that day, it was a bloody long drive home. I don't think Archibald played that day for some reason but could be wrong. It was more than compensated for 4 years later on 'Speedie' day, when we also relegated Plymouth if memory serves correct.

I'm hoping to make it in a fortnight but won't be doing a round trip in the day as I did back then, must be sommat to do with age!

8) Who has received most yellow cards for us so far this season?

9) How much did we reportably receive for our biggest ever transfer fee?

10) How old was the oldest player ever to appear for Blackburn Rovers?

11) who did we play when we received our record ever attendance??

and for a bonus round.

A) Who is going to be the first to score against Plymouth?

I was there as well, think it was Ardilles debut as well.

I'll be home before 7pm, probably stop for a pint as well :D

Spent quite a bit of time in Plymouth over the past 6 months, decent city.

Drinking wise The Barbican is the place to be, down by the harbour, full of bars and places to eat, 10 minutes walk from Plymouth Hoe and £10 taxi ride to ground.
