I think we should reduce Blackburn’s number to 25% of our away end next time we play them, so around 600.

Yes, I know that may lead to a fine by the competition organiser, but it’d be worth it. We should them keep doing it until they behave.

They must of gone to 100% of every away game over 13 year's to have 6k points, I bet thier school wasn't happy

Happier than yours - they can at least spell "their".

And a few away games but mainly season tickets, which were exceptionally good value in the JMU as juniors. Probably about the cost of 1 midweek away trip to Millwall.

Don’t think they’ll be playing on the Turf in the foreseeable future,unless it’s a cup game.

How long has the Points system been live?

My lad is 15, and has had a season ticket since he was about 7, and he's got just over 4,000 points

I reckon if you did a lot of away and cup games, its perfectly possible

Think it started about 2004/5.

My Brother passed away in 2021 he had had a season ticket since 2011, and he had just passed the 6000 points when he passed away ... those points now lost into the ether.

That’s what I meant by competition organiser. FA for the FA Cup, EFL for the League Cup.

I was making the point of it took 11 season tickets and numerous away games over 10 years to build 6000+ points

You can't get to 6k points in 13 season's with just season ticket points, 13 seasons from 5 years old to 18 gives you 4450 points

We got a bonus of 1k points, possibly more, for renewing season tickets

Away games count too ... my brother went through the 6000 barrier in 11 years as I just posted above...

I know away points count but he was trying to say barring a few away games the points total was down to having a season ticket for year's at 10 points per away game you'd have to go to almost every single away game to get to 6k and that is my original point

Tin pot attitude by B@stards and childish to offer us 2k tickets but at the end of the day they've stayed within the rules and its their ground so they can do what they want, they're missing out on around £180k in much needed funds and it won't stop us lifting this fabulous trophy

The feeling on their board is why should they bother about 180k when they are already approaching £200million in the hole to their 'nasty' owners?

Maybe the Venky's will have swallowed the idea that limiting us to 2,000 tickets will guarantee them three points? I'm sure the chief executive will love being summoned to India when they lose not only the three points but the gate receipts from a full Darwen end.

My youngest is 18, has 6030 points and didn't bother with a season ticket this year as he's off to Uni.

I'll be straight onto the club though to let them know they've miscalculated.

Perhaps we can all chip in together and take this to ewood park….

It'd be the only time they'd see it at Ewood if that happened

Obviously we'd need to get it in (anyone know the kit man?) but that has got to be a way of sticking two fingers up at them.

Count me in, if we are having a whip-round.

Picture of what is linked above from eBay.
We'd need to tell them May 17th is too late though.

How did someone manage to get the chicken into the ground when we won in 2014?

It was due to financial constraints, the chicken was a new member of the ground staff.

Interesting.

Brilliant message from our chairman.

Well said. Just need to boycott and tell them to ram it.

Just started a thread of its own.

Not sure what happened to the other one but I think it’s fantastic to see someone in charge standing up to the ridiculous decision instead of us accepting it and saying nothing.

Boycott would be hilarious, can’t see it but would send a good message

He gets it.

All these hoards of Burnley fans heading over to drink in all the pubs in Blackburn might be in for a shock. There's not exactly many left to choose from.

Ha Ha...how very true!!!Tell you what though,there will be clarets in em!!!

It's catching!. Man City are limiting Liverpool to 2,382 tickets for the game on April 1st because of "a threat to public disorder". Needless to say the scousers aren't happy.

Would be good as well if AP & Co refused the Bar Stewards “Directors Hospitality” and just sat with our contingent, that would send a message at boardroom level to the Venky’s stooges

Hel be there

All the Burnley fans who get tickets could play a part in paying that lot back. Refuse to spend money on programmes, pies/pints or any refreshment. Losing money that way, will go part way of getting our own back on them.

Just go there and pi** on them. Fans stay away.

Love this makes absolute sense. Let the few that get to support the team, stick two fingers up to this crazy and unfair situation.

Once on the ground, all those with tickets will forget everything and get stuck into the pies and pints in a massive show of “solidarity”.

I cannot see remotely what a boycott will achieve. The whole point is that Rovers are attempting to limit the number of Burnley fans at the game to give them an advantage and by boycotting you are helping them achieve their objective. Probably they would be quite happy to play in front of zero Burnley fans and they are quite happy to lose out financially if they think it will help them win the tie.

Best thing to do is fans and players turn up there and stuff 'em. None of this letting up at 3 - 0, get to double figures first.

Alan was probably wondering why they are known as B*s*a*ds, now he knows.

If they’re happy to lose out on selling six thousand tickets, they won’t bat an eyelid at the loss of five or ten thousand on catering.

Best way to stick two fingers up at them is to give them a good hiding, on the pitch. Hopefully all of this nonsense fires our players up even more.

You can almost smell the fear. Stinks like horse manure.

Stuff them.

Can we get a big banner made up with something pithy on it eg. "White Flag Derby"?

Not difficult to refuse to buy a programme.

They don't produce one.

It becomes tit for tat and the only people who lose out are the fans, the same fans who fought long and hard for capped prices for away supporters.

Not that we have had any issues with our motivation this season. Team or fans. I recon the 2000 that are lucky enough to get there will make themselves heard and VK et al will use this as a tool to fire up the team.
I hope we stuff em and the team and lucky 2000 celebrate long and hard together way after the final whistle.
