Blackburn Away

Heard some horrible news. The Fernhurst is under new management and is no longer opening on football days

Heard this the other week off my Villa mate

Is that the place round the corner from the stadium....which actually marketed itself as being the place for away fans to drink?

Seems a bit of a strange decision, if its the place i'm thinking- it was heaving.

That said, could be $hit for every other day.

Yeah that's the one, it'll be busy when City, United and Liverpool go, but not sure about most others. Surely busy enough to make a decent amount, mad to turn the custom down

[Foley87]

until they realise the Blackburn community arent allowed to drink and its empty every night of the week

as if any business person could pass up on the kind of money that place must take

[leeman]

WTF??!! been there a couple of times. pretty sure 50% of the away allocation go!

That place must make a fortune on match days, so I cannot see the logic in that.

[Gadger]

Was this anybody else's reason in hoping they stay up?

That plus 7,000+ away tickets

Truth be told though the Fernhust had it's day. Last season there was a 20 minute queue just to get in to the place, and no gazebo outside. My mate lives in one of the houses across the road so we all went to his house instead, miles better
