Were you at Ewood in 2000?

A rag mate has sent me this. I've never seen it before. I'm the one near the front in the red England top. Can any of you spot yourselves?

I set off with no ticket and bought one off a tout. I was sure I'd end up in the Blackburn end so thought I'd wear something neutral. I foolishly didn't expect so many City fans to be in the home end and envisaged being questioned at the turnstile about being a Mancunian. I thought my red England top would be the perfect cover. Sorry.

Was on the 2nd tier at our end.

Never got on the pitch

One of the best days to be a blue

 

[Bluesince1979]

Just brought back a long forgotten memory...
6 of us went in my dads car, shoe horned in. Parked in a pub nt far from the ground and headed back there after the game. It was a Blackburn pub but we got talking to some local lads who sat with us. after about 2 hours and god knows how many pints these lads turned round and said we better get out because the whole pubs gonna jump us! Rather than get in a load of mither we finished our pints and headed out to the car. We drove the 'back' way home, lots of winding country lanes, we turned a corner to be met by a pub with a humongous city flag draped down one side of its gable end and a few hundred blues celebrating. Pulled in for more celebrations!
I've Often wondered where that pub was/is. Apparently the land lord was a big blue.

Sorry, nt the most riveting story, just my own personal memory of my second best day supporting the blues!

What was going on there?

 

[PSam1]

I was there. Used to play football for Morecambe & one of the lads I played with was a pal. He was also a mate of David Dunn as he played with him in the Blackburn youth teams. Anyway he got DD to get ne a ticket in the city end right behind the goal. Got on tv too after one of either the 3rd or 4th goal. Mixed race guy with glasses. Jumping up & down like a bellend looking at the sky!! (Palm to forehead) Anyway it was one of the best days for me as a City fan. Especially as there were fucking blues every where!!!

My mates dad (a different mate. Proper blues) got smacked in the face with the ball just before I got there. Apparently is was piss funny & the crowd went oooooooooohhhhhh!! Hahaha
