I watched their game the other day and thought

It's just like any other home game at the DW stadium - empty stadium. Having a ground so back with only 30% full was always a receipe for disaster. Darlington did something similar and went bust. Surprised it's taken this long. Didn't Dave Wheelan sell the club couple of years ago? When Jack Walker's family sold Blackburn they have been going backwards ever since.
