The significance of Rovers' first match might have been lost in translation. The webmaster thinks we played a church team, without realising it was the old Church F.C. from down the road. I must admit for many years I thought the West End cricket ground, where Church and Oswaldtwistle C.C. now play, was where Rovers played their first ever game. But it turns out it wasn't the original home of Church C.C. This was on the recreation ground owned by Captain Pickup (no relation) of the local militia, at the point where Church, Ossie and Accy all merged. The webmaster's other historical stuff is quite amusing to read.

Exactly 122 years ago, yesterday - Rugby League was born. It followed a similar route to the formation of the Football League, for the same reasons.

When Rovers were at the Meadows, they hosted England's first international outside London. But look who the referee was! http://www.rovingmick.com/2015/03/01/youre-a-bastd-referee/

Here is my story about the 'Rovers Cottage', which is illustrated with the Leamington Street ground. http://www.rovingmick.com/2017/07/01/blackburn-rovers-win-raffle/ The map also fits the artist's drawing of the ground and shows the main entrance was on St Silas's Road and the ground area went all the way up the hill to Revidge Road.

We'll have to wait for the Fawn to ring.
