Colchester United fans are ready to turn Ewood Park red.
The Layer Road faithful travelling up for the U's FA Cup fourth-round clash against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday will be donning as much red as possible in homage to their heroes.
Colchester United Supporters Association (CUSA) chairman Jon Burns said: "We are going to create a sea of red. We've got balloons, shirts, scarfs and basically red everything."
Burns is hoping the supporters replicate the scenes at Coventry City last season at the same stage of the FA Cup.
The U's faithful that day were decked out in orange - matching the away kit worn by their Layer Road favourites.
