 Welcome to my Blackburn Rovers Section of my website!

Despite living in Southampton I love my Blackburn Rovers so much, mainly because of the kit! It is a 5 hour train journey to Blackburn from Southampton for each home game which I travel to. I do all the home and away games. I have covered 61,245 Uk train miles for Blackburn Rovers football club including 2 trips to Scotland to see Celtic v Blackburn in a pre season friendly and Kilmarnock v Blackburn. On Valentines day in 2007 I went to Germany to see Blackburn play away at Bayer Leverkusen in the Uefa Cup. I have also done a couple of Uefa Cup fixtures at Ewood Park. I have also played on the Ewood Park turf twice for Football Aid 2010 and 2011. I have done 2 boxing day fixtures with Blackburn despite there being no trains that day. They are both against Liverpool Fc. One was at Anfield where I got a lift off my friend Mat Langdon and the other I flew to Manchester and got lifts to and from Manchester Airport to Blackburn.
