They always limit the amount of season tickets they sell. They reserve 1000s for members etc. There is a waiting list for season tickets still, in fact not that long ago in the MEN there was a story about fans using dead relatives season tickets as they don't want to lose their seats!

Exactly. That was a close shave. Preston fans I know actually think they are a bigger club than us, and 'once' they get into the Premiership most of the people who live between the two areas will go and support Preston. They all seem so smug despite having lived in our shadow for years and years. P.S One of the best chants to annoy them with is "You're not famous anymore!" (obviously to the tune of 'you're not singing anymore'). A few more clubs (and their grounds) 'nicknames'... Manchester City - Bitter Blues (The Council House Stadium) Burnley - Dingles, B*st*rds, Inbreds, Hunchbacks etc etc (Turf Morgue, Dingledome, Emmerdale Farm etc) Preston - Nob End (Dumpdale) I'll add a few more later, need to get back to work

I am really surprised and disappointed to read this Dillo. (Although I think its quite common knowledge that amongst certain sections of both the south asian <pakistani/indian> and white communities in Blackburn that there is a mutual dislike for each other, for reasons that i'm not going into/don't really know). However, I have always thought that Blackburn and its people are relatively cosmopolitan for the size of the place with regards to 'foreigners'. Try visiting somewhere like Stoke On Trent on a friday or saturday night (Full of Little Englanders)! For example one of my very good friends is chinese and lives happily in Blackburn and very, very rarely has had any form of racial abuse of any kind. I also have Polish neighbours who go in some of the roughest pubs in town and get on fine with people, with no abuse. I am not saying racism doesn't happen but unfortuantely in England you get morons in every town, especially amongst young un-educated kids from poor backgrounds. To say Blackburn people in general 'dislike orientals' I would say is wide of the mark though.

Dillo, you have to move Preston Nob End into the 'rival/we hate' catergory!!! Maybe not a lot of people on this site are from blackburn, but most Rovers fans (from Blackburn) hate Nobend with a passion, as what happened on McDonalds Car Park after the last meeting at ewood between us goes to show.

The best way to get families of rovers fans to contact you would be to send a letter to the LET for them to include in the letters pages (or maybe even a follow up story) and another one direcctly to the Rovers to put in the matchday programme. Maybe this could be done officially by brfcs.com, to request help on Dillo's behalf ahead of her next visit???

The link in the telegraph to your site does not work! I've seen the pics on here though and agree they are fantastic, especially the ones of the town!

Nothing to do with a crash, but does anyone know what happened to the train station that was supposedly being built at Ewood?

Yes, why are they in big trouble?

It was in the lancs evening telegraph the other night, back page. I don't think its on their site though.
