I'm a Rovers fan and I'm not sure.
A family friend who used to go to watch football in the 1960s has told me that he used to watch both teams on alternative Saturdays as both teams never had a home game on the same day, and he has also told me that this was common practice amongst both sets of fans.
With this in mind I believe that it dates back to the jealousy of each others success, Burnley in the 1970s and Blackburn in the 1990s, and nothing more.
I can't imagine that it dates back to the first world war simply because both towns had men serving in the same regiment, for instance the men who were in the Accrington Pals not only came from Accrington, there were also men from both Blackburn and Burnley.
Also, local rivalry between fans of neighbouring clubs has always been a problem, in the ninteenth century running battles between Blackburn fans and Darwen fans were a regular occurance.

a million) thinking LeBron has been to the Finals two times already(2011, 2007) and that his group of superstars are purely getting extra effective and extra comfortable twiddling with one yet another, i think of LeBron gets his ring first. I do have self assurance that Melo gets a ring finally. 2) LeBron is extra effective usual because of the fact he's some of the best athlete and can play the a million,2,3,4,and 5(not asserting he's sturdy on the 4 and 5 yet he might desire to play them if easily needed), even with the shown fact that Carmelo can score extra effective. 3) until the Knicks get extra effective defensively, Miami's super 3 might have the extra effective occupation. besides the undeniable fact that that could be a complicated call. final analysis, i think of LeBron is extra effective for suited now.
