You can change it for a £10 fee if another ticket matches the original one

Dulcet tones of the font of all knowledge ala Chris Sutton it is then. If you can’t make the game I would suggest watching on mute...

Burnley’s upcoming away games at Newcastle United and Liverpool have both have been moved for live TV coverage.

The Clarets’ Premier League game at St James’ Park, originally scheduled for Wednesday, February 27, will now take place 24 hours earlier, on Tuesday, February 26.

This game is a replacement live TV selection, due to Manchester City v West Ham United moving to Wednesday, 27 February following Manchester City reaching the Carabao Cup Final the preceding Sunday.

This game will be shown on BT Sport.

Burnley's following away game, at Anfield, which was due to take place on Saturday, March 9, now kicks off at midday on Sunday, March 10.

This game will also be broadcast live by BT Sport.

In all seriousness though surely something needs to be done about tv schedule changes. Appreciate you wont know at the start of the season which would be the critical games. But surely the premier league can work with national rail to work on a match day special. Where you can book a ticket that can be used whenever the match is.

Or heres one. Just revert ALL games to saturday 3pm and introduce a new rule where 1 or 2 games can be screened at that time that day. Hardly rocket science. And wouldnt affect attendances any more than it does now?

Why are people booking travel and accommodation when they don't know if they can get a ticket?

We get the whole of the top tier, 3K is it? Midweek evening game, no worries getting tickets. There were plenty spare last year.

Always people selling spares. Personally I fall into top category of loyalty points which very rarely sell out so I don't to have problems. Don't think we've been selling out too many away games this season either. If you don't plan travel or accomodation in advance the prices are ridiculous especially trains to London etc.

Because many of us have been booking train and air travel and hotel accommodation for years.

Tickets aren't a problem.

TV Companies changing the timings of games at short notice is what causes a problem. And I know that they are not totally to blame as the Clubs want to have time off from previous rearranged games but it just seems that the fans are never, ever taken into consideration.

Nail on head.

They all try and save a few quid, and the rare time it goes tits ups they all complain.

Can't win every time.

Its a little bit more than a few quid being saved by booking travel/hotels early, particularly when booking train travel to London.

Why criticise Burnley fans who regularly travel to away games, who in order to be able to afford to go to all those games book their travel as soon as the TV dates are announced in order to keep costs to a minimum.

Fans who travel regularly know that they wont have any problems getting a ticket, we very rarely sell out our away allocations.

To try and be clever by criticising other Burnley fans because they made their travel arrangements AFTER the TV games were originally announced is a little bit out of order in my opinion.

But some people do like to be smug dont they!?!

Seriously Targetman, try not to bite to a total wind up merchant like MACCA. His last two posts sum him up perfectly. Just leave him be in his pot of depressing, selfish and anti-BFC misery. I agree with everything you have said, of course.

Games shouldn’t be being moved with less than 6wks notice.

Most company’s want 6wks notice for leave to arrange shifts/cover so people may have already booked the time off for the Wednesday/Thursday.

Supporters clubs would have reserved the coaches needed for that day. Those coaches may already be reserved for somebody else for the Tuesday.
