Obviously a relative youngster.
I wish that were the case.
I started watching Argyle in 1983 so that's when history starts for me- and Blackburn were nothing special until Jack Walker came along. Their time in the Premier League was funded out of his pocket, not because they are a big club.
Plenty of teams have spent many years in the top flight but the pre-war and immediate post-war eras bear little resemblance to modern football. The Royal Engineers may be considered a big team on that basis.
In the modern era, Blackburn are an Argyle sized club with a bit more cash thrown at them. Nothing very remarkable.
