Blackburn Rovers: The Basics



Blackburn Rovers Football Club is an English professional association football club based in the town of Blackburn, Lancashire. The club was established in 1875. In 1890 Rovers moved to its permanent home at Ewood Park. Prior to the formation of the Premier League in 1992, most of the club's successes were before 1930, when it had gained league and FA Cup trophies on several occasions. Relegation in 1966 was followed by 26 successive seasons of football outside the top flight.

I think that you shouldn't have sold Hanley or Lowe. Anyways, I hope I'm wrong. This will turn out to be interesting.
