22:37 is this Blackburn cathedral lol some heritage in there!

[@michaelfaulkner3119]

Didn't Blackburn buy the premier league in 95? Just saying.

[@Dao4deuce]

As an American who started supporting Rovers over 20 years ago because of Brad Friedel's 2002 World Cup, it was really cool to see around the ground and inside Ewood. I've always dreamed of flying over and spending time in Blackburn, and hope to someday. But this was really great, thanks!!

[@RysFootyParadise]

thanks for watching!

[@brentpatterson5715]

I work in Blackburn, though not a Rovers fan but that is really cool that you support Rovers :)

[@loby24]

Home of the Premier League Champion

[@Powerboost80]

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!

[@Morgan_Blackwood]

Because of Henning Berg ? I think the ground is absolutely lovely but its mostly empty these days.

[@highbury1972]

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.

[@RysFootyParadise]

They’re a nice bunch 😊 thanks again for watching & sharing memories

[@thediamonddust]

Fantastic video. Life time Rovers fan here and it was great to see how much local knowledge you crammed in. Superb.

Thank you mate 🐯

[@normlieberman372]

Got to admire the occasional miracle of smaller clubs like Blackburn and Leicester winning the league. It's a very rare feat. Hopefully, Spurs are finally on the right track!!

[@FlatDerrick]

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.

[@RysFootyParadise]

Thanks for the info 😊👍🏾 good to know!

[@adamentwistle8981]

The club shop wasnt built until the 2000's it was originally were the blues bar now is

[@SwordBeach1944]

Villa and Everton are founding members for both leagues

[@Avid_Fan]

Not champions of both though, unlike Blackburn Rovers.

[@peterwhitaker4038]

@@Avid_Fan first Blackburn team to win the F.A.Cup were Blackburn Olympic 1883. i think rovers won it the following year. the posh southern old Etonians who olympic beat couldn't understand how working class northern lads beat them. it was the start of something big and remains big

[@58baza58]

I first went on the Rovers in 1962, this was brilliant thank you for it.

[@RysFootyParadise]

😊👍🏾🍻

[@sydnorth5868]

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.

[@adrianrussell5169]

Another great video but cherry on the cake… rassling tunes over the top of them! Very nice touch!

[@gerardcallery3659]

Great video Ry, really enjoyed this one. I love 90's nostalgia as well and this one hits the spot. Ewood looks great. Keep up the great work champ, lovin the content

[@RysFootyParadise]

Glad you enjoyed it mate & check out the weekly livestreams starting Thursday - all about nostalgia 🤩👍🏾⚽️

[@FannyShmellar]

Another claim for you. We are the only club in England to have won a major trophy in every century since the game’s inception.

[@blank-dr2kx]

Also the only Town to of ever won the premier league title

[@deanmoss8605]

We are the only team to bring the FA cup back to England as in 1927 Cardiff won it and in 1928 we took it back to England, the only time it’s ever been brought back, and no doubt always will be

[@coops1964]

We are also the only club who were founder members of both the football league and the premier league who have won both.

[@lambert1875]

The board room was moved during the rebuild of the new ewood park in the early 1990's Jack Walker insisted that the Manchester United and Burnley crests where put behind the door as he hates both clubs

[@stuartdrew1259]

Great quickly Kevin shout out, love that podcast

[@eamonnmeehan7475]

Enjoyed this video. You had clearly done your research with your Rovers facts. Enjoy the game next Sunday and hope you can be a good luck charm - we could do with one!

[@RysFootyParadise]

Looking forward to it 😊👍🏾 Huge game for both sides

[@HotpottingMad]

The club shop was built around 1999/2000 if I remember rightly. It used to be where the Blues Bar is.

[@sydnorth5868]

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!

[@AnthDBang]

Cheers Steve, give it a try! Can record on your phone

[@MarcusStephenson1970]

Loved the tour, great video as always. Love that they're the only Town to win the PL.

[@mattastley7259]

There's also a Jack Walker Way estate that has various street coming off named after many of the 95 premier league winning team. There is also a walk of fame outside the Blackburn end where bricks were laid that fans purchased with special messages to their loved ones. I've never heard the rumour about the man running down Alan shearer way so I'm not sure if that's true. Also the riverside had plans to be rebuilt but on top of the relegation I heard the river Darwen behind it wasn't strong enough to hold the weight for the new plans. Great video mate. Subscribed.

[@RysFootyParadise]

legend, thanks for tuning in!

[@stevieboy7390]

I went over to ewood for a tour way back in 2003 or 2004 i think it was. I was the only person on the tour and club legend ronnie clayton was doing the tour. So had him all to myself for the whole thing. 😊

oh bloodyell fair play 🤩

Blackburn Rovers: The first giants of the English game. The most successful town club in the history of British football. The only club to have won the English FA Cup three times in three consecutive seasons. Blackburn v B*rnley is the oldest derby in British football. The only town football club to have won the Premier League. The only Football Club to be founder members of the Premier League and Football League and Champions of both.

[@RysFootyParadise]

Respect 👏🏽

[@MarkPitsmoorOwl]

Hillsborough stadium is amazing it holds 39k fans but because of health and safety issues they can only sell 34k/35k fans it’s very old school stadium if you filled in the corner it would hold 45k + Blackburn stadium is impressive they need a new bigger stand so they all match

[@Avid_Fan]

Blackburn Rovers don't "claim" to be founder members of the Football League, they were. Blackburn Rovers are the only club to be founder members of the Football League and Premier League and champions of both.

[@GreenandGold]

Love this channel mate, only found it a few weeks ago. You should go to stockport county tomorrow, they need one point to get promotion and you might get some good content. Plus it's a proper traditional old school lower league stadium.

The reason we don’t like shearer is not why he left it was how he left. He said days before leaving “ I’m happy here I want to stay here” then left not long after with no words to the fans or anything just went to Newcastle

[@stefanfrancis2040]

The only good thing about United not winning the league that season was it's the only time Liverpool fans got to see the trophy being lifted at Annfield and it wasn't them lifting it 😂😂

[@RysFootyParadise]

In hindsight as we’ve seen with Leverkusen this weekend… it was probably good for the league 🏆

[@stefanfrancis2040]

Yeah it's good when someone new wins the league around Europe as most of the leagues in have the same winners most season's

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

Nice film, I am a Rovers fan and attend Ewood regularly & been to the stadium tour. Rovers are the ONLY club to have won the FA cup three times in a row, there isn’t another. Secondly, you keep saying ‘claim’ to be a founder member of the football league, they are a founder member 🤷‍♂️

[@sydnorth5868]

The Wanderers FC won the FA Cup in 1876, 1877 and 1878, but they ceased to exist sometime between 1881 and 1887.

Because its a better ground in a better location.

[@horace9341]

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. Women’s football isn’t my cup of tea but kudos to the Ladies for what they have accomplished so far.
