Blackburn boss Bowyer buoyed by crowd support

Blackburn Rovers' FA Cup run has created a buzz among the club supporters and boss Gary Bowyer is happy to see the fans returning to home games.

Blackburn will play Liverpool at Ewood Park on Wednesday night in the FA Cup quarter-final replay and Bowyer is anticipating a bumper attendance.

Rovers are expecting their first sell-out crowd at the venue since they played Manchester United in May 2011.

"We are talking about an extra 20,000 fans in the stadium," said Bowyer.

"Slowly but surely their interest has gone back into the team and it's great for us because it's the next stage for us to carry on growing."
