Still one of my favourite days as a blue. Managed to (as usual) blag a ticket. What a thing to experience first hand.
Edit: fucking loved that season.

I was sat behind the goal in the home end that day. So had a great view of all the goals going in.
I had a close call at half time when there was some sort of prize draw taking place on the pitch .. the winning seat number got a signed Blackburn shirt.
I wasn’t paying much attention when suddenly the guy behind me grabbed me shouting ‘you’ve won son’.
For a moment I was thinking bollocks how am I going to get out of this one ..
Luckily it turned out I was sat next to the winning seat. A Blackburn lad who got to go on the pitch and collect his prize.
I had to wait a little longer to go on the pitch myself that day.

One of my favourite City games of all time. Aside from Aguero, obviously, that Goater equaliser might be my favourite City goal as well.

An epic day and an epic game. For any cunts who think we don't have fans, they should watch that game to see our takeover of Ewood Park.
I was wondering after Ipswich got back-to-back promotions, how often it's happened from third tier to top tier before?

Was in the stand opposite the camera. Blackburn fans around us were great, same as the Bradford fans a few years earlier.
