  • Blackburn Rovers - the 94/95 Premier League Champions... Their story is incredible. Obviously they sit in a scary position currently in the Championship BUT in this video we reminisce about the "good old days". Ewood Park was almost completely rebuilt when local entrepreneur Jack Walker took over the club. Even 30 years later it's still really impressive. We do the Ewood Park stadium tour after our usual 360 tour of the exterior of the stadium 🏟️ We obviously grabbed something from the club shop - the ROVERSTORE - which you'll see at the end of the video 🤩👍🏽 What are your impressions of Ewood Park⁉️ LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW 🍻 Don't forget to LIKE the video if you enjoyed it & SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE FOOTBALL STADIUM TOURS ⚽️

    Really enjoyed that. I'm from Norway, and visited Ewood in 96, 98 and 2001. Haven't been there since, but still a big fan of Blackburn. This was a trip down memory lane for me. Great trips, with my father. Rock on!

    Brilliant Ry! I’ve been to Ewood Park just once, 13/4/1998 when Arsenal won The League. We beat Rovers 4-1 and Bergkamp and Anelka were on fire that day. It looks just how I remembered it in your video. I found the people of Blackburn very friendly and I loved Ewood Park as a ground. Hopefully they’ll get better ownership in the future. Good luck to Rovers.

    The platform above the tunnel at 29:11 used to contain a small seating area with about half a dozen or so seats. It was where Jack Walker himself used to sit and which he accessed directly from the hospitality suite behind. When Venky's bought the club and came to their first match, they drew criticism from some supporters for sitting in the same seats (I'm not sure why, they did after all own the club and the stadium by then). Anyway, it looks like the seats have now been removed to prevent any further faux pas. I guess if they ever come back, they'll just have to slum it in the Director's Box in the upper tier!

    I did a stadium tour of the old Ewood Park sometime in the early 80's. The Boardroom at 22:39 was exactly the same albeit it was in the old Nuttall Street stand (where the Jack Walker Stand is now). During the rebuilding in the 90's they dismantled it piece by piece and rebuilt it in the Blackburn End.
    Fun fact: There is nothing on the level directly above the Boardroom, because the height of the Boardroom ceiling is greater than the floor to ceiling distance on all the other internal levels of the Blackburn End stand.

    Rovers fan here. There's been a much bigger rivalry with Burnley than Bolton historically because of where old counties were drawn and what was produced in the factories. Blackburn and Burnley were East Lancs while Bolton had more rivalry with the Manchester clubs. Also helped that us and the Dingles were more successful round the turn of the century and then the Manc clubs and Bolton more between the wars. Think the Roverstore was built in Summer 94, first time I went in was late October or November that year.

      It did however host the WWC final or the WEU final in around 2008 when the competition was played in Lancashire/Greater Manchester. The region was chosen because of the close proximity of so many grounds being of the size to create a good atmosphere whilst keeping the spectators safe.
