I was going to start a thread and thought I'd just pop this in here.
I'm from Ireland and I've been a Blackburn fan for over 30 years (I'm 38 now) and would have regularly went over in my teenage years but then kids came etc and I haven't been over in a good 10 years now.
I decided as kids are grown up, I'm going to attend a few games this year home and away.
Im booked over to arrive in Manchester Friday 9th day of Derby home game and flying out following evening.
I'm just looking on recommendations for Hotel to stay in Blackburn on the Friday night and where is best to get few pints before game, after the game etc
