Yes it's local and yes we have a good record at Ewood Park but given our shocking away form I don't know why everyone is so happy and confident.

Agreed. Baffling, the reaction on here. Rather have a home draw against anyone.

We beat Newcastle away in the League Cup, I'm sure we can manage against bottom half Blackburn.

And our away form for the last two games hasn't been bad.

Hope so.

It's a top away piss up.

So; the day out is more important than our chances of progressing in the competition? Riiiight.

Jim I would have loved a home game but Blackburn away is a game I have missed since they were relegated because it was always a good day out. Friendly crowd, friendly stewards and not too far to travel. I'm getting tired of travelling darn sarf!!

Just hope they dont take the piss pricewise.

Could have been worse.......

 

[its a Barm]

Blackburn away will do me! was hoping to get one of the Sheffield clubs away but never mind. Wigan Macclesfield or Rochdale at home in the next round will be nice

old school Jim, old school

second nearest league ground to my house, I'm happy

Hmm. I know that if I was given a choice between a top day out OR being in the next round, which one I'd pick. Ah well; that's what getting old does to you, I suppose.

I will be labelled Mr Doom and Gloom I know but maybe this arrogance is what the players are displaying in these type of matches.

I can only assume you've never had one of our typical away-days at Blackburn. Anything can go wrong in any game but we're all looking forward to a great day out that we've been deprived of for a few years.
