Its Warming Up In Blackburn


Recommended Posts

I've heard from a Burnly fan, those with tickets have to be in the ground 2 hours before and for an hour after.

 

Any truth?

 

 

I've heard they'll not be allowed on public transport without a ticket & a rumour of a road block somewhere near Huncoat.

Every Burnley fan with a ticket has to meet at Burnleys ground 2 hours before kick off to collect there tickets and then make there way to Ewood on coach, thats the only way they can travel then obvoiusly the same coming back, it was in the paper that a Burnley fan that lives next to Ewood has to do a 50 mile round trip eventhough he lives the a few streets away

It's a 30 mile round trip, but I see your point.

 

The local police have insisted that all Burnley fans travel on the official coaches.

These coaches leave Turf Moor at 9.30am.

It's a 20 minute journey to Ewood Park: kick off is at 12 noon.

 

They're going to dump the Burnley fans inside the ground at 10am!

 

Like them or not: it's no way to treat people.

But you mentioned the magic word. I'm no fan of the OB anyway but the ones who deal with football? Utter cunts they are.

If this happened in a 3rd world/far eastern country there'd be outrage from the dogooders.

It happened in Belgrade didn't it?

No. We just got a minibus 1/2 an hour before kick off from the pub to the ground. No problem at all. :roll:

 

I know, I didn't get the comment either

 

The Chief of Police was most accomadating when I told him that there was no need to give us an escort to the ground as we'd already sorted our own

 

In fact, after I phoned Dragon he even reopened the bar

 

Nice chap
