CHIEF executive John Williams has paid tribute to the fans after getting behind Rovers at the weekend.

"They were absolutely magnificent. I don't think I've ever seen more blue and white in Ewood.

"And I know Jack Walker would have been thrilled if he'd been there to see that kind of backing.

"There's 69 points to play for at home and I just hope they can keep that up and help make Ewood a fortress."
