Grumble - Amazing that they could find the money/land for the football ground that "didn't exist" when the rugby club were trying to do the same (and we were in the Premiership)

Looks like a nice ground :) - Just hope the wind isn't blowing from the NW during matches straight over Blackburn Meadows  :sick:
