Another FA Cup game here from 1950’s, this time away at Cardiff with Rovers taking 4000 fans. I was surprised to read 5 aeroplanes carrying 200 supporters each taking fans too! You don’t associate away travel with planes back in the day, or I don’t. Draw away from home, we won 2-1 back at Ewood:

@K-Hod - I got a couple of family members vouchers for Eight at Gazegill for Christmas, I'll let you know if you've made or ruined their Christmas 🤣

I've been in the pub, Crookes Sheffield, or is that the Blind Monkey........

I’ve just seen someone on twitter blaming Ben Benson. We do have some morons supporting us, I need to get rid of twitter and book myself into therapy.

Strong rumours he was replacing Allardyce, the rest is history…..

Can we understand the ‘Formula’ what does it take to boycott a match? Anyone know a dingle? Can we get the answer please?

Not a bad Derby side that included Charlie George, who scored 2 on the day. Did you go on the Ewood Express @Waggy76 ?

In my experience we usually bottle it in front of a big crowd, outside of the glory years, especially away from home.

Just listening to some of the away followings today: 5000 Boro at Fulham 7000 Exeter at City 7000 Sunderland at Everton 7000 Villa at Spurs Its clear the fans hold FA Cup in high regard.

Yes I know all about that, he was targeted and went to prison. I’d have been in full support of Ricky at the time, it’s more recently I don’t agree with his politics, but I can separate that from the man today.

You’re right, they won it a few years before that, but still a giant killing in ever sense of the word.

Derby County 3 Blackburn Rovers 1 FA Cup 5th Round Feb 26 1977 Att 30,439 (6000 away fans) Hope posters can read the report? Who went?

Still the best cup competition in the world, pity clubs these days treat it with so much disrespect. Macclesfied (National League N) 2 - Crystal Palace (FA CUP Holders) 1

I love Ricky Tomlinson, glad to see he’s still going strong and loving life to the full. I also noticed he’s touring working men’s clubs around the North: St Teresas social club Preston He’s doing 3 nights at Croston Social Club Leyland. Nowt in Rochdale Tyrone.

I spent ages trying to work out who the old chap was at the front, thinking he was the ex-Rover, then I noticed Mike Newel 🤣
