Stanley played Rovers in a friendly at Peel Park in the 54-55 season in front of a record crowd of 17,634. Never played each other in the league, but they were drawn against each other in the cup in the 36-37 season. A 2-2 draw at Ewood led to a replay at Peel Park which Stanley won 3-1. It was played on a weekday afternoon and Bulloughs shut down, so the work people could go. Stanley went on to lose against Man City at Maine Road in the next round.
