I was travelling to see Hull Citys first ever away game in the Premier League, we had won our first game against Fulham and were looking a good team. I travelled to Ewood park without a ticket as we were ensured there would be tickets available on the door. Not that the Tigers don't take a lot of support but Blackburn gave us the full stand. 
 
We travelled by car and found the stadium fairly easily, we came off the motorway and after a roundabout we parked in the first available place which was a school on the left, it didn't seem like there would be much other opportunities and it was only £3. It was about a 15 minute walk to the stadium and it was downhill, there were a few pubs on the way but we went straight to the ground. Turned out that the car park was a good choice, as it wasn't too bad to get out of after the game and we were back onto the motorway in about 15 minutes. 
 
Before the game we went to get some tickets for the away end. It was very easy, the away end is the first one we came to and it looked an OK stadium, quite large but not spectacular. The tickets were available from a small queue and were very cheap, only £6 for under 16's and £18 for adults (if I remember correctly). 
 
We went into the stadium from there and you had to use an electronic ticket reader to gain entry. Once inside it was very cramped on the concourse there was a game on the TVs and I got a very poor burger. Walking out into the stadium it was apparent that there was three new stands and an old one to the right, we were in the lower tier of the away end near to the large electronic score board. There was some decent interviews on the screen however my hopes were dampened by the extremely low amount of legroom. Luckily I had the end of the row so could stick my legs into the aisle but my friends were not so lucky and were complaining most of the game. 
 
It was a decent game and we got a very valuable point in a 1-1 draw. We equalised after only a minute or two of Blackburn scoring near the end of the first half. I was disappointed by the support from the Blackburn fans, for a team who won the premiership not so long ago they have very poor support in numbers and in voice. There was a little trouble with some young city fans in the bottom corner having some banter with people in the nearby stand and were duly ejected from the stadium however generally the stewards were fine. 
 
After clapping the team off we left the stadium and had no trouble on the uphill walk to the car park, we got away in quick time and rounded off an enjoyable day. 
 
Overall not a bad stadium but the poor atmosphere and the very poor leg room lets it down. Not very good grub inside the stadium either. Easy enough to get to and from the stadium though.
