Trivia
Ewood Park is the oldest home to a Premier League Club. Anfield and Stamford Bridge are older (construction in 1884 and 1877 respectively), but Liverpool and Chelsea did not start playing in their grounds until 1892 and 1905 respectively.
Blackburn Rovers won the English FA Cup 3 times in 3 consecutive seasons, making them the only club to ever do this. This is why they are the only English Football League Club allowed too display their club;s crest on their corner flags under the current rules of the game.
