Blackburn Roll Call 08:27 - Sep 18 with 10523 viewsMetal_Hacker

So who's up for it this weekend ?

I'll be leaving Sheffield around 10am once my two lads drive up from Nottingham and will hopefully landing in Blackburn around midday parking up and heading to the Fernhurst Pub

Very much looking forward to this one now after last Friday and the guys having a good full week's training together !

COYFB !

watching football, I went to Blackburn on a wednesday night to watch us get beaten 3-0 in a Full members/simod cup tie! A dreadful performance and a really long midweek round trip

Liverpool last night, Lakes today (wet), Skipton tomorrow and Blackburn Sat.

Nothing like a nice few days walking in Sept sunshine...

As child with no interest in football, Ewood Park is one of the first football grounds I can actually remember seeing in person (along with Portman Road and Burnden Park), back when it still looked like this:


It took another 15-odd years before I discovered the joys of the game, since then Ewood Park has been on my list of a grounds I wanted to visit but somehow it never happened. 30-odd years after I first clocked it, I'll finally be seeing a match on the inside :-)

Blackburn and Preston are probably only two away games you can buy with no problems. If you not season ticket holder etc.

I'm parking up by the Golden Cup and then will head to the Fernhurst. Sounds like the place to be! Lots of free on street parking by the Cup, understand that's not the case around Ewood. Right by the motorway too.

Taking out a mortgage so that WB Junior and I can go by train. Leaving Ipswich on the 0758 via Peterborough and Leeds.

Forest are at Burnley so might bump into a few of them at Leeds Station.


The train costs are sickening, we’ve taken to driving and often staying over as it’s cheaper than the train

Me and a mate will be there as well, driving up from BSE tomorrow but staying in Preston, as Blackburn appears slightly less than salubrious.

Beers in Preston tomorrow, and again after the game, then drive home Sunday. We're getting the train from Preston and back on Saturday, so will try to pop in the Fernhurst pre-game if we have time.

Looking forward to it.

First away game for me in a long while, finally the stars of ticket availability, lack of family commitments and local-ish away day have aligned.


Same. I’m taking my lad and we’re combining it with a look around some possible university towns for him. And coincidentally Google Maps is saying it’s exactly the same time from here as it was from my old house in Ipswich.

That's the thing about lakes, they tend to be wet.

I never get the ‘putting the miles on the car’ argument, they’re there to be driven no?

I drove to all the away games in the last Championship season except Leicester, Norwich, Birmingham and all the London ones and last season all of them except all the London ones again, Southampton, Brighton and Bournemouth.

Plymouth and Newcastle there and back on the day were probably the worst haha.


Once you have a car it is there to be driven - my car went through the 200k mile mark driving home after the Southampton game!

We'll be heading to Blackburn on Saturday which is one of the shorter trips with 'only' a 380 mile round trip. Middlesbrough on a Friday night will be a pain in the hoop for those based in Suffolk but that will be our shortest hop of the season.

If you’re doing the return trip the same way I’ll wave to you.
No idea what one other look like - so if you see a bloke waving to people, it’s me

We’ll be good again... one day

No tap on shoulder

The Fernhurst was rammed, as usual, not enough staff behind the bar!

Did you stay at the Fenhurst? We were there the night before and our room smelled of stale p1ss. We got there late and they were obviously understaffed, so couldn't be bothered to make a fuss, but it was pretty unpleasant.

I saw Texters and Mach in the Fenhurst. The queue for the bar was crazy. My boy bought 5 pints for himself in one hit to save going back.

Yes second time we’ve stayed there, room was fine again but could do with a little bit of TLC, bit pricey for what it is but the location makes it.

We were ground floor facing the car park.

Good lad. Assume you found him in the ground

We were getting two at a time, sat outside as there was room and it was undercover. We got there at 11:45 so I was hoping we’d easily get a table inside, alas, it was packed.

Was busy initially straight after as well but settled down.

Ah ok. Yeah it would have been perfectly fine other than that. We were in Room 4 which was opposite your side.

Avoid Room 4, people!

What happens in Room 4, stays in Room 4.

Mainly because it’s stuck to the carpets.
