Ewood Park | Built in 1893
Ewood Park was largely re-developed in the 1990s, when three new two-tiered stands were developed. Away fans are housed in the Darwen End (if you're buying a ticket on match day, the ticket office is located along the side of the stand - blink and you'll miss it), which is shared with home supporters. Away fans are normally allocated around 4,000 tickets.
Tickets / Where to sit
Ticket prices cost more for the popular games (Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea), but are generally priced between £25 and £35.

Getting to Ewood Park
Train
Blackburn station is approximately a mile and a half from Ewood Park. Mill Hill station is approximately one mile away from the ground. There are direct trains from Manchester Victoria, Salford Crescent and Preston
Car
Stick the address in your Sat Nav: Ewood Park, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB2 4JF
Parking
Plenty of options, just choosing the best one. Various around the ground, £3 an average price. For a speedy exit, as you come down the hill on the A666, turn right at the traffic lights after the total garage and on your left there are some industrial units where you can park, again for £3. On your way out turn left out of the car park, so you’re going away from Ewood (roads around the ground closed for half hour after game), then right at the second mini roundabout and you’re on your way to the M65.

Where to drink
If you are heading out for a pre or post match pint, you are most likely to find yourself in The Fernhurst which is on the Bolton Road (A666) and across the road from the away supporters end (Darwen End). You can park at the Fernhurst for £3 (be wary getting away) and even stay there for a reasonable price. Large pub with lots of football on TV, restaurant area, and an extensive function room upstairs. Very welcoming, with a good atmosphere this pub ticks all the boxes. The majority of other available pubs are for home fans only.
Where to eat
Alcohol is available inside Ewood Park's concourse. In terms of food, there's a good range of Hollands pies, burgers, hot dogs and chips.
