RowlattsFox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 Think Burnley was over 30 quid last year so hoping they have reduced little this year. Can't wait for march as can generally only get to the north west games so Wigan, Blackburn and burnley in a month will be nice. Aslong as I get tickets.
rico Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 They should be nicely in mid table by this fixture
The Year Of The Fox Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 I like Burnley away. A proper ground, a nice low roof to generate some atmosphere with and if the weather's right there's the cricket pitch next door for pre match drinks. Hoping to go to this

Hoping to go to this Better when it's the cricket season on too! Remember chanting at some bloke who had "Mortimer" written on his back once. "Morty, wherever you may be, you are the pride of Burn-ur-ley".

Dan Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 I quite like Burnley away also. Not as bad as it's made out to be. Give me Burnley away over Middlesbrough, Reading, Leeds, Ipswich etc... Anyone go to the 1-3 win when we were managerless? That was unreal
Lobsterboyuk Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 I don't like 12:15 away days, feels weird and does;t give me any benefits that I can think of, given the choice I'd prefer the later sky slot
Walker Posted 20 January 2014 Posted 20 January 2014 The game itself is the main thing for me and early kick-offs are nearly always flat atmosphere wise whereas I'd say it's the total opposite for 5:20. Fair enough. It's difficult to get a decent atmosphere going whatever time we play these days though. Of the aways i've done this season I think only the M'boro game was decent.
1964FOX Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 No time for the pub prior to the game and as stated the cricket club is a cracking place so will miss out on that this year. Not a fan of this change.
Manwell Pablo Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 To be fair if this is the only one their moving between now and the 29th March that's not bad going, 2 months with no televised game saying we're currently top is actually pretty good, and at least it's away.
Dan Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Fair enough. It's difficult to get a decent atmosphere going whatever time we play these days though. Of the aways i've done this season I think only the M'boro game was decent. Which did you go out of interest?
kylestyle06 Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I remember going to the cricket ground a few years back.. there was a very tasty barmaid there lapping up the attention she was getting.
foss1884 Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I hope they offer this as a Fans Fixture (and to away fans too) with £15 adult tickets like we did when we played them on SKY. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened.
DennisNedry Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Big shame but not a big surprise. The biggest problem for me is when the coaches will leave, I may be wrong but I don't think pre-9am on a Saturday actually exists? Will probably do another away game instead, unless the tickets for this are cheap.
Leicesterpool Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Was that when we lost 3 nil a couple of years back? At FT we were already back on m6 Is that the game where somebody ran on the pitch and had a go at the Burnley goalie!?

Gonna book trains for this and Blackburn on Friday.
jammie82uk Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 How many is that on Sky this season now? Been 3 at home and 3 away so far
billyn88 Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I'm 99.9% certain this will make general sale. In that spirit and knowing exactly when the game is on I can book return tickets from London now for £21. The catch is getting on a 7.30am train and being in Burnley almost 2 hours before kick off when I'd be surprised if any pubs are open! Worth it?

Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Not unhappy but tea time kick offs are so much better
billyn88 Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Lucky sod. Trains from Leics are 4 hrs! That is a real bonus of traveling from London to games - almost always the quickest and most direct route (albeit involving a change in Preston this time). Public transport in the north west, with the exception of fast services from London to Liverpool/Manc/certain other towns, is absolutely atrocious. I remember looking at doing this from my girlfriend's in Liverpool and it was going to take 2 and a half hours. It's about 50 miles!
Jacnah Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 From football ground guide: Away fans are housed in the covered David Fishwick Stand at one end of the ground. Approximately 4,125 fans can be accommodated in this area, although the normal allocation is 2,100. So a very good allocation - I think this means everyone who wants to go will get one. based on the water pooring through the roof last year, the phrase 'covered' may be a bit exagerated
