Well Ive met and worked with people from all over Lancashire and the country and found a lot of decent people everywhere so I dont alltogether understand that tirade of insults Vat.
My daughter lives and works near Clitheroe and it’s a nice place.
Rovers fans, some of them, are being absolute prats but I think your generalisation about a whole town based on one person is over the top.Here is what a Rovers fan mate of mine wrote on my promotion celebration Facebook status, you can’t make shit like this up!
His opening gambit- “If we hadn’t had a shit start we’d be 20 points clear…just remember that”
Followed by this classic!- “It took us a few games to figure out the demands of the league…we went to Wigan and comfortably played out the game after going down to 10 and then 9 men. Played you off the park at Ewood only to get done by 2 very lucky goals…I have no doubt who the better team is. We have lost the fewest games too. We’ll see who stays up next year shall we…”
Horrible East Lancashire whippet chasing inbreds.“porrk yourr corr in the corr porrk”
Weird people who still use words like ‘pillock’ and ‘bobbins’. Blackburn really is a dark and dismal place. I’ve worked around there in the past and it really was the land time forgot. Clitheroe and places like that, proper ‘local’ type places. I used to work with a bloke from Clitheroe and he was a c*** personified. Like an East Lancashire David Brent. Had all his traits, would be listening and then shoot out of his office to take centre stage. If you had climbed Everest, he had climbed it and then sky dived off the top. One of those types. He was a dick. And he rolled his rrr’s like crazy. Insisted the best pub in the world is in Clitheroe. He made the place sound like Vegas. When in reality, its a dismal shithole where everything shuts at 9pm, except the corner shops and garages. Inbred hillbillies.
I live in Clitheroe VAT and actually know the person you are referring to. The thing is he wasn’t at all like that until he met you.

Course you do. Same as I know your uncle Dennis and Aunt Eileen.
Listen everyone, I was joking. Lighten up. If anyone else had made such comments, it wouldn’t have brought the responses that you lot have given. Let’s be honest, you don’t like me, do you? Yet you actually don’t know me, none of you.
So just lighten up, ffs
He probably has a point fil with some of his post.
They are 3 behind us despite a shocking start whereas we went 4 from 4.
We never looked like scoring against them at home. They had 9 men for about 2 minutes though.
They may have lost the least number of games but we have won the most and thats what counts.
I posted what I did after reading their forum which was slagging Cook off to high heaven after his after match comments on Saturday.
I’ve never had a problem with Blackburn as a club, but there has always been a but of a delusion of grandeur about them underlying. They were referring to us as a “nothing club who has no fans” so damn right I don’t think top much of them. But it was a post made jokingly and expected to be light hearted. And Blackburn IS the land time forgot.
And whoever mentioned Skem, wtf has that got to do with anything? Skem is a town split in two. There’s nothing there, nothing to do. Hence why I’ve not lived there for 15 years. And the town of Skelmersdale has more links to Latics than you can imagine. Arthur Horrocks, Brenda Spencer, Bill Kenyon, all from, or got links to the town. I even saw Paul Cook having a kickabout on the astroturf with his mates, just after he left us in 1988. Parts of the town are a dump, as are parts of Wigan. I’ve witnessed things living in WN5 that I never witnessed in Skem. Open drug dealing, etc. So anybody who thinks Wigan is a class above Skem, think again.
This football malarkey is a marathon not a sprint and having a bad start or not is irrelevant and the fact is at this current moment in time we’re top of the league in league 1 and their not so we are the better team come 5th May if Blackburn are top they are the better team but i wouldn’t count their chickens on being top so we will be the better team.
Spot on Grumps. Very rare the best team doesn’t win the league.
When you factor in we have won the most games, scored the most goals, kept the most clean sheets and conceded the least number of goals it is pretty obvious.
Then you have stupid facts like:
Scored 50 goals away from home. More than anyone in the top 4 leagues and more than 32 have scored in total including the Premier League from 7th down.
Kept 16 clean sheets at home which is more than 79 teams have kept in total.
Won more games by 3+ goals than anyone else in the top four divisions.

I was joking but I’m not sure you were.
I’m also not sure if anyone else on here would have made those comments with the same venom and vitriol. The fact you use the disclaimer “I was joking” suggests you weren’t really.
Why would I dislike you?
I disagree with some of the comments you make but I don’t see why that is a basis for you to decide I don’t like you. And your paranoia about not being liked says more about you than anyone else on the board.I think any lightening up should begin with yourself Dave.
Not really.
Unlucky living in Clitheroe, lol. I’m joking. I’m heading to Blackburn tomorrow, going looking at a car to buy.
When you moved, did you sell your programme collection, or have you still got them. You did used to live Standish didn’t you? I bought a programme off you once on ebay, Newcastle from 1954. I sold it on later, to Colin Boughey. Big Latics supporter of many years.

Clitheroe is a nice place to live, that’s why I moved there. However, it is infested with Blackburn supporters, some of whom I am friends with.
I think you’ve got me mixed me up with someone else Dave. I’ve never lived in Standish and never owned a programme collection of any significance. If I had the Newcastle programme from 1954 I doubt I would have sold it.
Nice part of the world Clitheroe took the tourer to 3 Rivers many moons ago. Clitheroe being full of Blackburn fans cant be anywhere near as bad as Wigan being full of plastic Mancs and Mickeys Sammy. Think you got the best end of the deal there marrer.
Oh, I don’t know.
Was in the post office there a few weeks back chatting to a friend of mine who is a Blackburn fan and long-standing native of Clitheroe. Consequently, people were coming over to say hello. This wasn’t long after our comeback in the 2-2 draw so no doubt the pain was still quite raw. However, the animosity towards me was quite palpable after he introduced me as a Wigan Athletic fan.
Plastic Mancs/Mousers are just that, plastic. Fakes. Not real football fans. They watch from the comfort of their armchair or local and have never set foot inside a football stadium of any kind. From a football perspective I don’t have much time for them.
At least those Blackburn fans actually go to games so the unease with which they viewed me was genuine and therefore the banter acceptably received.
I’m OK with that.
