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 .
You sir are the first ever Rovers fan I've come across that likes to dwell on the past. No really.
My point which you so spectacularly managed to miss is that nobody should have to give an "excuse" for not attending the game. Whatever the reason happens to be it is valid to that person otherwise they would be going. Whether you think its valid or not is immaterial.
