I suppose that’ll have to do thennil_desperandum wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 10:43 pmDon't think there's much chance of us winning the league at Ewood.
We'd most likely have to end the game 25 points ahead of second place since our rivals would probably have 8 games left - possibly more depending on FA Cup results.
Could potentially be promoted that day though.

I don't need to read anything, as I know your claim of us getting 8k isn't true.AGENT_CLARET wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 10:22 pmRead what I put a few months ago about the bubble matches not being enforced anymore and most on here shot it down saying BS likewise when I said we are going to get the whole end of around 8k, this info is from a police gold match commander who's involved with the planning and running of both these Burnley Blackburn game's and not from someone at the club, shoot it down all you like but we'll soon see who's right when the info comes out, putting not true without any back up is very easy to type
And I don't need to back it up, it'll all come to light in good time

Re: Allocation for Ewood
I've also heard that they're trying to give us a smaller allocation than previously agreed. Only time will tell but the only thing I know for certain is that AgentClaret has absolutely no clue what's going on, he's been posting stuff as "in the know" for ages but if he said the sun was going to set tonight I'm not sure I'd believe it.
Re: Allocation for Ewood
silly idea giving us a small allocation. i know loads planning to go in home ends

Re: Allocation for Ewood
After last night we could make it feel like a home match if they only gave us 500 tickets.
They'll be silent after the 1st goal, and leaving in droves after the 2nd.
I can understand, from the fans pov, but the fans opinion shouldn't be relevant. It's a sport, and a business. To cut Our Allocation, in order to save them from embarrassment, would be really pathetic. And as pointed out above pointless, they'll be leaving in droves long before the end.

Re: Allocation for Ewood
Think you maybe wrong. Anyway, nobody knows yet as it's still being discussed.
Re: Allocation for Ewood
Surely it’s far better to have us all in one stand, than give us a reduced allocation and risk Burnley fans in the home ends.

Re: Allocation for Ewood
You'd think anyone trying to sit in the home end for a game like this is a bit daft as they'll risk getting a ban, especially if they can't sit on their hands for ninety minutes and Rovers fans take offence to them being in there.

Re: Allocation for Ewood
It higher likely that either us or b@st#rds will make it through to the qtr final, if this the case do we know when this match is likely to be moved to?
Will a night match affect our allocation?

Re: Allocation for Ewood
Not sure how it can, unless I'm missing something. Tickets go on sale on Monday for the Sunday fixture - prior to knowing if the game is going to be moved to midweek. If they plan to reduce the allocation for a midweek game, then this would be the initial allocation, with potentially more then being allocated at a later date should it stay on the Sunday?

Re: Allocation for Ewood
I don't know but possibly one off the issues which is being considered when they are deciding the allocation, is that whilst they may be happy giving us 7000 for a 12noon ko on the Sunday, they may not want 7000 away fans for a midweek evening ko. But if they sell 7000 from Monday and it then becomes an evening ko, they'll be stuck with 7000 away fans. 7000 fans with limited drinking opportunities with a 12noon ko or 7000 with all day drinking opportunities for a 7.45pm ko.

Can’t see the old bill allowing a Blackburn v Burnley game at anything but a morning KO , certainly not one which could be a possible promotion party .

Police should need some pretty cast-iron evidence-based reasons for ADVISING changes to the timing of any football game.

Re: Allocation for Ewood
If there is genuine concern about any rescheduled game for a midweek fixture the common sense approach is to sort it now by switching week 42 fixtures with this game so that it can definitely go ahead on a 12:00 Sunday (week 42 16th April) lunchtime if that's what's required.
Burnley currently scheduled to play Reading away in week 42 (15th April) and Blackburn are due to face Hull at home. If they switched these fixtures ASAP all clubs involved would have plenty of notice for any of the eventualities.
So if they switched, the away game at Reading for us would be changed to the midweek game in April if we progress in the cup; and the Hull home game for Rovers would be changed if they also progress in the cup.
makes sense to me anyway.

It was indeed , the replay from 2003 ish ?? Don’t remember any Aggrow at all that night .It’s not so much the actual real live threat of disorder ,it’s just the way the police tend to deal with local rivalries, ie they sh1t themselves helped no end by SKY being able to televise them at 12am etc which is a ludicrous K.O time .
We may have no other option to play a night game, but the extreme rarity of a local derby also being a “ promotion celebration “ will not sit well with Lancs constabulary.
