PEOPLE from Blackburn always moan about parking charges in the town centre.

If one travels to other places like I do, you will see that similar places like Blackburn e.g. Preston, Blackpool, Bolton and Manchester have parking charges that are a lot higher.

Blackburn has a nice shopping centre and the largest indoor market in the North West, but many Blackburnians are deserting their town and shopping around Preston, Bolton and Manchester.

And where are the Blackburn Rovers fans? Just look at attendances at Ewood Park, 22,000 and under. Blackburn people should be proud of their home football club.

When you have a fantastic town centre, the Cathedral, multi-screen cinema, JJB Soccer Dome, King George's Hall, ice arena, Waves and above all a fantastic football club like Blackburn Rovers, one would expect the town's population to show support and loyalty.
