Location: Blackburn, Lancashire.
Nickname: Um...Rovers.
Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: Ewood Park. TRIVIA: The oldest continuous home of any premier league team.
Crest: You can see it, judge for yourself. Classin' it up with some Latin. Also: a plant!
Season So Far: EPIC FAIL, although it needs to be pointed out that every team in the EPL already has twice as many points as Derby accumulated all of last season. In 18th place but with a game in hand over the other stragglers.
General Vibe to a Casual American Fan: I read the news today, oh boy, 10,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire. The Beatles immortalized the town, but the team was nothing special despite being a founding member of the Football League until they bought a premier league title in the mid 90's. Think: Florida Marlins except they aren't an expansion team. They don't seem to to be the same class as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, but they're the only other team to have won the EPL.
That is a good motto not only for soccer but for life.
