Lad i asked said the Ivy alsoIf it's Blackburn, Lancashire, then The Ivy Hotel, Infirmary St, Blackburn BB2 3RP is where you want to go. It's around 3/4 mins in a taxi from the Train Station - about £4. It's actually only around 10 mins walk too.
Times Bar, as mentioned, is Rangers friendly - that said, it's not a Rangers pub per se. The Ivy will have lots of bears there, tunes on etc, and is a decent crowd all in. It's the best option by far. Also - it's not a hotel, just a pub!
I live here, so my source is as good as it gets
EDIT: You may actually find that entertainment starts in Times Bar during the match, and that will be given priority as it's the same crowd of oldies that are there week in, week out. Cheap though!

Used to go in Ivy odd time when lived down there, Angel years before as well. Still see lads (icu) posting on fbook in in the Ivy.
It's a cracking wee boozer tbf. Good bunch of lads, who always make you feel welcome.
That's Blackburn - was always going to happen with the change in demographic in the town. Darwen has a thriving pub and restaurant trade now, as a result of the same changes in Blackburn.Sad how many have closed, still down every few months but so many have gone now. Friendly town, most of my mates are from there and go Football.

Oh I getcha.I was meaning about Darwen being the lively place now, mind you seems been like that 10 year plus now. Know what you mean though.
Op is keen for this match getting the bus from Manc and back! Wouldn’t fancy that after a skinful.
I wouldn't fancy that either as it must be a couple of hours each way. Accy to Blackburn is bad enough on the Hyndburn Circular.I was meaning about Darwen being the lively place now, mind you seems been like that 10 year plus now. Know what you mean though.
