My son, Daniel's birthday trip to Sunderland. So not a great outcome for him but a good trip nevertheless.
Travel schedule: Train: Airdrie-Glasgow-Preston-Blackburn.
Return - Train: Blackburn-Manchester. Bus: Manchester-Glasgow. Train: Glasgow-Airdrie.
Sunderland now managed by Tony Mowbray who left Blackburn in the summer. He was replaced by Jon Dahl Tomasson. An excellent first half goal was added to shortly after the restart. The result meant Rovers went to the top of the league.
Personal stuff:
- 2nd match between these sides, both at Ewood Park and both ending on home wins.
- 10th visit to Ewood Park. Opponents were Celtic, Manchester United(3), Chelsea, Manchester City, Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland(2).
- 16th Blackburn Rovers match and 48th Sunderland.
