Really don't understand why anyone feels the need to justify not going to the game to Rovers fans or anyone for that matter. If your not going then whatever the reason is its obviously a big enough reason to you personally to stop you going so it's valid. No need to explain yourself to anyone. If certain Rovers fans want to put it down to a fear of losing (despite us consistently taking the most fans to the magic weekend with a shocking losing record) then that says more about them then you.
Those of us on here old enough to remember the derby games of old, played during the winter months at the old Craven park and the Boulevard will also remember the grounds been filled to the rafters on derby days.
Both grounds facilities in those days were no where near the standards of today but you rarely heard people saying.... I'm not going to this or that sh..t hole, such was the fanatical passion of both sets of supporters .
I cannot understand any fan of either side who say they wont go to either of the two grounds on the basis that it puts money in the others coffers or the ground is cr..p etc etc.
In my opinion, anyone who comes out with such excuses is either a part time supporter or a soft pussy wussy .
