Well its back. After a year of waiting for the Dingles to come back to reality its finally here. The El Lanclasico a Derby that has been the centre of attention for the whole north west of England for over 100 years. This Derby started back on the 7th of November 1888 which was the first ever competitive match between the two towns. And the rovers royally destroyed the Dingles in the biggest ever victory over them a whopping 7-1 victory of the neighbours. This is one of the most fierce matches in the whole of English football and yet if you were to ask some of our southern friends to list the biggest derbies in the country the Cotton Mill derby wouldn't be listed very much in fact it may not be listed at all but why isn't it considered by the rest of England as a Big Game? is it because we're only two small towns somewhere in the north? Well ill tell you why its one of he biggest in the country.
This isn't just a game between a place divided in half because of religion or individual views(Liverpool v Everton or Manchester city v Manchester United). This isn't just a game between two paces who just don't like each other very much (Liverpool v Manchester united).This isn't a game that is fierce just because it could decided how the a title goes (Manchester City v Chelsea). This is one of the oldest hatreds in the whole country this is a battle between two towns that want the bragging rights over the neighbours. This a derby that splits friends and families. You know that if you lose this game your not going to here the end of it ever! You know that if you don't win the first game you have to win the second because if you lose both then the torture will continue forever. We did exactly that to the dingles for 35 years whole generation of football fans could have grown into fully grown adults before they saw their team win. 8 world cups were played between the dingles getting there wins and for all that time we gave them stick and now that the day has been and passed where they got there win they have realised 35 years of anger and hatred towards us in very swift fashion. And now we are without a victory for 5 years and times are as bleak as they have ever been during that time for Rovers. We are overdue a win and that's why tomorrow we can win the game and is why the Blackburn Rovers V Burnley game is one of the biggest games In English football. This game isn't based on form or how the teams looking its about how the team does on the day which makes this the most unpredictable games in the country. And yet it only takes one touch from one man to make the difference...
