Idle thought; when Darwen had a league Team, 1891-1899, did their ground have a Blackburn End?

The rivalry between Darwen and Blackburn Rovers grew increasingly bitter and matches were often marred by fighting among supporters. In 1881 Darwen postponed their Lancashire cup-tie with Rovers to fulfill an FA Cup fixture. In retaliation, Rovers cancelled the rescheduled match at the eleventh hour to play a friendly against Nottingham Forest instead, leaving Darwen (who had cancelled a lucrative friendly with Partick Thistle to play the rearranged Lancashire Cup tie) severely out of pocket. As a result both teams were thrown out of the competition.

If the game was cancelled at the last moment, travelling fans could spend the afternoon counting  all "10,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire".
