[edit] Bill Fox

Bill Fox, chairman of Blackburn Rovers and president of the Football League from 1998 until his death in 1991, was born in Blackburn on 6 January 1928.

apparently became president of the football league 7 years after he died, think this may need checking out!!!

Looks like a typo... maybe it should have read "president of the Football League from 1988", but I don't have a source to check the correct date. Anyone? - Motor (talk) 12:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blackburn Rovers heading

Quite amazing how Blackburn Rovers gets a top-level heading, should replace with 'Sport.' Skinnyweed 23:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History section

The history section is disgusting, it's simply some copy and pasted unreadable nonsense. Needs to change. Skinnyweed 22:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Have attempted to get something down here. Pretty garbled at the moment and I'm only up to the medieval period, but am gathering sources to add some more information.Theelf29 14:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Famous Blackburnians" cite tags

There's too many, I think it's pointless to have a cite after every mention. Skinnyweed 19:29, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diseases of Blackburn

I've got an exam coming up in Blackburn in a bit. Is the area known for particular rare diseases I should famiarise myself with before examining its inhabitants? JFW | T@lk 16:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Turns out it's the same as anywhere else... JFW | T@lk 23:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
