Good read jjamez!! 
Always seems to be the case that struggling teams come to life again just as they are playing us. A repeat of last season will be more than welcome and overdue after last month. There's a few pubs in the Town centre not far from the station (usual suspects included). Some fans also get off the trains in Darwin. It's a fair hike from either station to the ground but there are buses to the ground along the Darwin road. There's also a local train station (Mill Hill) that's a bit closer to the ground but only accessible from Blackburn station and only one train an hour (there's two after the match to get you back at 17:28 and 17:49). I walked back to Blackburn station before any of the buses left the ground and got through the traffic the last time I went and would likely do the same based on those train times but allow yourself at least half an hour's hiking time unless you're an olympic type walker. Traffic might not be quite so busy this time. Otherwise share a cab.
