Buses! Still living in the dark age then...

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:09 pm**

Is there a mistake with the coach pricing?

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:09 pm**

Will be giving it a miss again then. Ridiculous decision.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:10 pm**

And being 'bussed' in puts a stop to me attending this particular fixture.

Great. Well that's another Deadwood game I won't be bothering with. I put up with the bus lark until I'd seen us win again - was there in 78 and 79 - but swore blind I wouldn't do it again.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:12 pm**

Soft as ****, terrified Lancashire Police who can't police a football fixture with resorting to these draconian measures.

Shame on them and shame on the clubs for pandering to them.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:13 pm**

I wondered how they would deal with this given it is such short notice but there was no way they were going to let us go on our own

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:13 pm**

No surprises there. Won't stop me going.

Hope coaches don't leave before 6.30ish, some of us have to work and then travel over the pennines to be bused in

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:14 pm**

Also do those prices include the coach ticket or is that extra?

Those are Blackburn's ticket prices - the coach will be extra

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:16 pm**

The only thing stopping me going is not getting a ticket. I'd be escorted to the game by Eamonn Holmes if it meant seeing us beat Rovers.

(I don't like Eamonn Holmes.)

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:17 pm**

For a League Cup match, over the top, to say the least.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:17 pm**

Be a nice gesture for the club to offset the price of coaches.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:18 pm**

Perhaps we could join in with the host's boycott. Or is that boycotted now? Would they know at all?

Think they should try and do that for all away games but maybe that's just me.

No different from a league game I wouldn't have thought - because of who the two teams are there will be the usual numbers going

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:22 pm**

Isn't it about time someone at the club showed a bit of backbone and challenged the police on the bus issue?

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:23 pm**

Totally over the top. Lancashire police once again confirm that they are an absolute joke, and are not fit for purpose.

This must be the only derby in England where this happens.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:24 pm**

Did the article originally say coach tickets were £17 ?

I think huddersfield and hull had to do it season before last

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:25 pm**

If it was the FA Cup I might bother, but second round of the League Cup and the bus thing? Think I'll watch it on teletext.

It's a river - runs behind the stand to the right of the away end.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:30 pm**

I must have imagined the £17 then...sorry folks

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:31 pm**

Dont go. Rovers just trying to cash in. Why pay all that to be treated like an animal. BOYCOTT THE BARSTEWARDS

Not really, I just thought it might be a good gesture from the club to offset some of the negativity they will receive after being part of the decision to impose coach travel.

Don't think £18 is bad to be honest - and you don't get treated like an animal,

They will only have been part of the decision in that there would have been no other option open.

Working in blackburn that day. So have to drive home to go back.

Mates on a 10 - 6 night shift just round the corner from ewood and will have to do the same. Wont be able to walk 10 mins from the ground to work so wont be able to go or will have to book work off pathetic again.

I think it is considering you shouldnt have to go on the coach . Its not even that far

Ticket price is nothing to do with the coaches though - that' just the match ticket price and is 25% less than their league prices.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:37 pm**

It should be 10 pounds a person and no more for the coach

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:39 pm**

I'd have to rush over from Leeds after work, no time for a pint beforehand before crawling down the M65 at a snail's pace before the same crap on the return journey. Said after the last time I wouldn't put up with it again and gonna stick to it this time. Charging us for the buses most of us don't want to use just adds insult to the injury.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:39 pm**

Original artcicle states 17 pound for u18 for travel

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:44 pm**

Any indication if they're running coaches from Whitebirk again??

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:44 pm**

That was when I was preparing the article and I'd left some ticket prices underneath. It was all sorted very quickly but it is pretty obvious that it is a duplicate of ticket prices although the £17 comes from the Spurs game I think.

There was absolutely no reference to travel prices.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:44 pm**

Not sure why people have mentioned the club offsetting the coach fares?? .... surely it should be Lancashire Police footing the bill due to their clear incompetence?

No idea on that. I was involved with the planning last time but that was over a considerable number of weeks before the game and everything was in place long before the game. This time I would think there has been no time to involve anyone but those who have to be.

They had to do it a number of years ago (2013) but, unlike Burnley, the clubs stood up for the fans and the police have since backed down.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:49 pm**

Knew it was just a typing error, sorry tony

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:52 pm**

Boycott it. That's the only way the clubs will eventually grow a pair and stand up for the fans.

Posted: **Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:54 pm**

Hasn't the 'bubble' for Wrexham and Chester also been disbanded now?
