No, but it's only a 30 minute train trip away from a game at either Liverpool or Everton!
Plus, Burnley didn't play on Easter Monday.
As for Blackburn, I know many Rovers fans who have given up going to matches since their recent demise.
As a boy, I first went to see Stanley at Peel Park with my Grandad in 1958, so I'm fully aware of the factors you mention and yes, I am also one of those who came back.
Andy Holt & John Coleman must be wondering what, if anything, they can do to convince more fans to come?
The teams on fire, admission prices reduced - and we still can't even match attendances at non-league games.
I really expected we'd hit 2000 on Easter Monday after our recent run so, sorry!
If you feel under 1600 home fans is acceptable in our current position, I can only disagree.
