Blackburn Rovers FC
Ewood Park
Away
Fans
Away fans
are housed at the Darwen End, where the
facilities provided are good. However, the spacing between the rows
of seats leaves a lot to be desired, being quite tight. The Darwen
End is shared with home supporters, but if demand requires it the
whole of the stand can be made available. Normally the away
allocation is for three quarters of the stand, at just under 4,000
tickets, which are split between the whole of the upper tier and
part of the lower tier (with the lower tier being allocated first).
If you have not bought a ticket in advance, then you need to buy one
from the away supporters ticket office at
the ground as you can't pay on the turnstiles. The ticket office is
located on the corner of the Darwen End & the Jack Walker
Stand.
Alcohol is available on the concourse as well as
the normal fayre of pies, burgers, hot
dogs and chips. The pies are made by the Clayton Park company,
located nearby in Accrington and cost £2.30 each. A cottage pie
is also on offer. If you are looking to eat something prior to
entering the ground, then there is a baker in Bolton Road selling hot pies from one of its windows. Across
the Bolton Road by the home end is a McDonalds, which I noticed had
a walk through service for fans! I found the Blackburn fans both
friendly and helpful, plus coupled with the relaxed stewarding, has
made it so far for me, four pleasant visits
to Ewood Park. |
