How identification as a Blackburn rovers fan has changed for the local Muslim Community since 2000
in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Posted
Hi everyone,
First post here, so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is George and I come from a longline of Blackburn rovers fans as well as being one myself!. I am also a student at RGS Guildford,
I am looking for some help regarding an essay I am writing on 'How identification as a Blackburn rovers fan has changed for the local Muslim Community since the 21st centuary' . I have been struggling to connect with the local Muslim community in Blackburn in order to listen to their views.
This is a particularly personal issue for me as my family is from Blackburn (Bedford Street, Mill Hill) and I come from a longline of Rovers fans. My grandad (may he rest in peace) was the most passionate Blackburn fan I knew. My final conversation with him was about the club and Blackburn beating Sheffield United 3-1. My father has been following the Rovers since 1974 and I am following in his footsteps, attending games whenever possible. I am interested in how the changing demographics (Blackburn has now 2nd largest Muslim population, % ) has impacted fan identity.
I have attached a Microsoft forms ( I really hope it works!!!). Which is a questionnaire for Muslim Blackburn fans, please fill out if it applies to you or do share it to relevant people.

If anyone is interested in this topic or has any relevant information, please send me an email --> george.aspden05@outlook.com. I am on a very tight deadline so I would really appreciate some quick responses.
I hope you are all having a nice evening,
George Aspden
