ROVERS fans were stuck on the motorway en route to the North East for Blackburn's away fixture.

Around 60 supporters were seen waiting near the hard shoulder on the M62 earlier today.

They were heading to Middlesbrough to watch Blackburn play in a Championship fixture.

A Rovers fan, Matty Cooke, who posted the image of stranded fans on Twitter, had originally said the coach had caught fire.

Mr Cooke later clarified that the fire was a small engine malfunction that caused sparks.

It is thought a second coach arrived to ensure the fans made it to the game on time.
