First Time Visitor to Ewood Park

[mvpgoalkeeper]

Hello Rovers Supports - 

I am a lifelong supporter from the US, and I'm finally coming to the UK for the Middlesbrough match. This will likely be one of the best, and emotional, days of my life. I can't wait!

The Rovers website says the Blues Bar is a good place to hang out pre-match, and I also was able to find The Brown Cow through some Google searching. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to ensure, result aside, that I have a great first experience at Ewood and in Blackburn in general? 

Thank you for any ideas or suggestions you may have!

I think you need a season pass to get in the Blues Bar…it really isn’t worth it BTW…you can do better..🙂

If it works timing wise a stadium tour is good fun.

if you are in the area long enough the National Football Museum in Manchester is worth a trip.

Ha, fair enough, but I will support us through the good times... and the times we're in now. I still watch Tugay comp videos on YouTube to get me through the tougher nights! haha
