Funnily enough I went to Blackburn as soon as the final whistle blew at the Theatre of Wham. Met some Bristol fan mates in Wetherspoons there.

It was the very first time I'd been to Blackburn.

In fact, I mentioned this to some blokes outside the pub who were attempting to engage me with some small talk about the indian takeaway opposite. "Oh where are you from then?" asked one. When I told them Accrington they seemed highly amused - like they were expecting me to have made a pilgrimage from deepest Kent or something.

I thought it was normal to hate Burnley and Blackburn and want nowt to do with them? I was always told it was in my DNA and that was that. Did seasoned Accy fans really desert to these places? That's shocking.
