Quite agree with you J, they do have stability - but also an empty trophy cabinet.
Do have a soft spot for them though - my Uncle took me to my first football ground, Ewood Park - but told to watch the No 7 of the opposition, in red & white shirts - Stan Matthews, just before his transfer to Blackpool.
