England, Days 13 to 17, Manchester, Blackburn Rovers, National Football museum

11th Dec to 15th Dec

From the 11th Dec onwards I was in Manchester.  I caught the train from Liverpool.  The highlights were the Museum of Manchester, Chinatown, and the National Football museum.
On the 14th I did a day trip to Blackburn where I saw Blackburn play against Nottingham Forest to a dour 0-0 draw.  The highlight of that game was Alan Shearer being the guest of honour.  Back in 1994 when I saw them play I never would've thought I would actually visit Ewood Park one day to see them play live.
