Blackburn Park Road F.C.

Blackburn Park Road F.C.

Blackburn Park Road F.C. was a football team formed in 1875. They played in Blackburn, Lancashire, not far from the railway station.

For a few years in the 1880s they entered the FA Cup, then known as the English Cup. Despite some good results they were rarely a match for the two major town teams of that time: Blackburn Rovers and Blackburn Olympic. In 1883-84 they beat Clitheroe Low Moor 6-0, before losing narrowly (2-3) to one of the region's best teams, Accrington. They played for four seasons in the Lancashire Combination, without ever finishing in the top half of the table. In 1887-88 they beat (Northern) Irish invitee (Lisburn) Distillery 2-1 in the FA Cup, but were disqualified and Distillery advanced.

Eventually they folded, as Rovers creamed off their best players.
