  1. Good morning. I’d like to ask for some advice please. I’m putting together a book – a photo-led nostalgia book, not entirely a history tome – about how grounds used to look in the black and white era before the Taylor Report swept away standing terraces. Ewood Park with its rich history will, of course, be featured heavily. The book (hopefully Vols 1, 2 and 3) will be a follow-up to my Lifted Over The Turnstiles 3-volume collection of books about Scottish football grounds: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=lifted+over+the+turnstiles&i=stripbooks&crid=1YPCRDC4130ZJ&sprefix=lifted+over+the+turnstiles%2Cstripbooks%2C57&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Or Google “Lifted Over The Turnstiles Book”. I’m wondering if someone might give me a recommendation who to ask about good pix of Ewood? Are there club enthusiasts, historians, old press or private photographers, archives, or other sources you might point me towards? Ideally, I’d like pix of the ground’s terraces and stands empty, or on-pitch action with a good, illustrative view of terraces in the background. If possible. Old pix at high-resolution (screengrabs from websites don’t come up well in print). Preferably 50s, 60s, 70s — the way a supporter aged 60 to 80 will remember it. I am willing, of course to pay for copyright and will give credits in the book for the provenance of the photos. The aim is to celebrate the experiences of standing in a swaying, tight-packed, excited/angry/celebrating/commiserating/local-derby-fevered football crowd. It is a thing younger supporters will never have experienced. I still miss it. I want to do full and proper justice to Ewood. I can be contacted at stevefinan1963@gmail.com Many thanks. Steve Finan. Rovers have had a good start to the season, I must say. Long may it continue.
