4. We’ll never be mastered by No Burnley
Blackburn Rovers shares a long-standing rivalry with Burnley football club. The match between the two teams is called the East Lancashire derby or Cotton Mills Derby. The nickname was influenced by the history of the two places as they were previously mill towns.
