Hahaha that is totally different. When we got promoted it was our highest finish in years. We we’re climbing up the league whilst Blackburn altered a slide. Where were we compared to where Blackburn were 5 years before promotion from League 1/Division 2?claret wizard wrote:Our second season back in the Championship in 2003 didn't have Boro in it, so I looked at something similar, Rotherham, 14,000 on for that game.
Or Grimsby, 18,000. Same weekend in 2002 we had 15K v Forest. 13k vs Birmingham on a Tuesday night.
Specifically against Boro, 2011 in the Championship we had 14500 on (first time we'd played them in the league at Turf Moor for over 16 years).
Think we hold up pretty well.

That's why it was a bumper crowd.

Isn’t that what we did for decades?FactualFrank wrote:Rovers fans do make me laugh though. Talk to any Blackburn fan and they'll talk about history. They won't mention anything about the here and now.
