[Archived] Burnley Home Game

[unluckymorton]

I wouldn't mind as long as he shut up and didn't cause any trouble. Wayne has clearly not been too bright here and, as mentioned earlier, it would be better if he admitted his mistake and said he wasn't going to lend his ticket out to his mate any more but the witch-hunt and all the "what seat do you sit in m8 just being friendly" snitching b*llocks is totally unnecessary.

Also, say his Burnley mate does go on his ticket anyway, how does anybody prove it?

Rovers score, he doesn't go mental. Point proven.

If Wayne's mate is a burnley fan and wants to go to the game he can go through the correct channels like everybody else does. I'm not saying he's going to cause trouble but the people sat near him might do...

[4ever&ever]

Just been reading through this thread and I think people are being a bit pathetic about Wayne lending his season ticket to his mate who is a Burnley fan. This sort of thing happens all the time and he is lending it in good faith, so it is clear his mate is not going to cause any trouble. In my opinion it is a bit sad to go to the hassle of finding his seat number and potentially have his season ticket taken off him. Think some people on here need to grow up.

End of the day if the police are going to the lengths that they are, then people are fully justifed in trying to put wayne off from lending his ticket to a rival of our most bitter rivals.

Fair enough, had wayne not posted then no-body would have been any the wiser and his friend could have come to Ewood to watch the game.

However there is no way that anyone should be lending their season ticket out to a rival supporter particuarly a dingle. It's ok saying that he would keep quiet and that he wouldn't celebrate etc but could you guarentee it 100%? They wouldn't know how they would react if they beat us because it's been so long since they have done so and for many of their fans they never have in their lifetimes.

I do feel for wayne though as bringing up his season ticket details was maybe a bit unfair as the last thing anyone wants is for a fellow fan to loose their season ticket over an error of judgment. Saying that now that this has happened, it will hopefully have prevented wayne from making this mistake.

I'm not saying I don't agree that if he really wants to go then he should go in the away end but we're more than likely talking about a casual fan who just wants to see the game without causing trouble. Frankly, any Burnley fan sitting with Rovers fans who celebrates if Burnley score is an absolute lunatic.

Not sure about your bolded point. Was originally trying to sort out an extra ticket for a mate who was interested in coming because I badgered him incessantly at university about coming to a Rovers/Burnley game if it ever happened again. He's a Barcelona fan from Cameroon - he definitely would not go mental if Rovers scored.

Exactly. Mistake made coming on here and publicising it but the guy certainly doesn't deserve losing his season ticket over it. The guys is a Rovers fan just like us FFS.

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't start crying though lol

Or even more realisticaly stay sat in his chair with his head in his hands.

[OhmiBRFC]

i'm so gutted i'm gonna miss this and (cue backlash) i'm lending my season ticket to my mate who's a burnley fan. Dont worry he wont be singing and shouting

I hope he mentions something and you get banned!

He probably won't speak with a dingle twang either...

Have you tried getting him a seat in the Jack Walker???

its easily proven that he will be a dingle as we know the seat number and he wont be going wild when we score

I don't want anybody to lose their season ticket, but season tickets are non-transferable, not even to home fans. The terms and conditions state that if you wish for somebody else to use your seat you are to inform the club of their details. Rules are there for a reason, and it's easy to abide by them.

So you're telling me that if you couldn't get to a game - and wanted to lend your ticket to a Rovers supporting family member or mate - you'd contact the club first for permission?

[SamDingle]

What a bunch of dweebs.

"Sir, sir, there's someone in our seat".

[rebelmswar]

What a bunch of dweebs.

"Sir, sir, there's someone in our seat".

Let me correct that for you.

"Sir, sir, there is something in our seat."

[unluckymorton]

So you're telling me that if you couldn't get to a game - and wanted to lend your ticket to a Rovers supporting family member or mate - you'd contact the club first for permission?

As the terms and conditions yes. just like whemn you buy a match ticket and give your name and address. Paragraph 11 terms and conditions of season ticket.

[Hughesy]

Let me correct that for you.

"Sir, sir, there is something in our seat."

Quality...

Talk about an over-reaction - Im not going to contact the club thats for sure - I was just pointing out how daft Wayne was being. Wayne - do us all a favour and tell the dingle to stay at home and give the ticket to a Rover!

I hope you haven't memorised the terms and conditions!

[waggy]

i think it's pathetic that you lot are whingeing about a guy whose lent his mate his season ticket,if rovers had been fairer with the distribution of tickets he may not have needed too.to have as little as 4k fans inthe darwen end is pathetic,scumley fans in rishton have tickets in home area's,the reason being is the poor ticket allocation.if there is trouble at the match,who do you think going to get the blame,when there are 4k empty seats

[unluckymorton]

I hope you haven't memorised the terms and conditions!

Nah, not yet...

I remember seeing it years ago on the old fashioned season ticket books, I just went on Rovers website to check it was still there!

I know nobody bothers, I hand mine out to my mates on the rare occasion that I can't go but I'd never give it to an opposition fan.

What a bunch of dweebs.

"Sir, sir, there's someone in our seat".

Who's woke this loser up?

[TimmyJimmy]

Jeez, give the guy a break. Likelihood of his mate being a six fingered, facially tattooed, IQ zero, body pierced individual with gore and veins hanging from his teeth = 0%, likelihood of his mate being as civilised as the rest of us = pretty high. Who on this board hasn't been in with rival supporters anyway, I've watched Rovers from anywhere I could cadge a ticket including lot's of home ends (and will continue to do so if necessary), Villa, Anfield even in the Shed End at Chelsea way back when, I controlled myself and escaped alive, you probably did, so why shouldn't he be allowed to do the same. Sure if he causes trouble then give him the heave-ho, if he sits there and watches the match as a neutral then what's the harm, he might even learn how proper fans conduct themselves. Wayne, seriously though dude, engage brain before opening mouth, careless talk costs lives mate.

As was mentioned before the season started, if people are so desperate for tickets why didn't they snap up a season ticket?

As for dingles in the home ends, well that ridiculous, shame on the people who have helped them get tickets. Saying that, I work with a few Man City fans who said they had tickets in the BBE, they were nowhere to be seen on match day.

I don't think it's any concern of yours anyway waggy, or are you actually going to this game?

Yeah, I've been on the home end at Old Trafford numerous times but had no trouble, they don't hate us though do they! I was in the North Stand when Perdersen scored the winner and got out alive after jumping up! It's a different case on the 18th though.

Christ. So not only did you tell a little fib about adhering to the terms and conditions paragraph 11 sub section c sentence f you've actually sat with the home fans of another club, behaved perfectly reasonably and everything has been alright. Fancy that!

I agree with everything TimmyJimmy said, word for word. Totally embarassing overreaction.

You've really got an issue with people not wanting dingles in our end haven't you?

I don't know anybody who adheres to the terms and conditions but I'd rather have that than have dingles in the home end.

It's common sense pal. You maybe a do gooder living in an ideal world but I sure aint.

The less dingles the better is the way it should be seen - not pathetic, unless your a dingle of course.

Just to clear things up, I'm not advocating Andy Payton sitting in the BBE or anything! I just think if a guy can't go to this game, he has a mate who wants to go and presumably he trusts him sufficiently to let him have his ticket (after all, he's not getting it back if there's any trouble) then what's the big deal? If this guy was a knockle-dragging Burnley superfan intent on causing trouble I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be relying on a mate having a prior engagement in order to get to the game.

I've sat with United fans in the BBE (we kept beating them too, it's hilarious). Not a problem - we're all sensible adults who know how to act in public. One of them was even on the front cover of our season ticket advertising standing up and clapping when Jon Stead scored with about 2 minutes to go.

Plus, the guy Wayne is talking about supposedly does chemistry at uni. I'm doubting whether he can even be from Burnley at all!

[Al]

There is no way that a season ticket should be lent to a Dingle. Would any of you like to be seated next to a Dingle apart from the pleasure of having him escorted from the ground? The ticket should be confiscated at least. The punishment for treason used to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

I know where your coming from and don't want to fall out. I think the biggest problem is the people who could be sat around Wayne's mate. Wayne's mate is probably a great lad, but it only takes one idiot, admitidly and regretfully with help from mine and others comments on this board, to have a go at him and all hell could break lose.

Quality comment. He must be from a more civilized part of Yorkshire.

Chill, I'd have thought Wayne is a new season ticket holder and we should welcome him with open arms. Hopefully he'll have a change of heart and donate the seat to his favourite charity. Hopefully it's not the dingle youth academy.

Shyte stirrer NUMERO UNO!

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

Can't believe this. So not only is his mate a dingle, he's a bloody student. A clever one at that. Does he study at Manchester Uni? No, Leeds. Typical. And what's he studying? Something respectable like media studies? No, bloody chemistry. So he has zero social skills.

You're saying if he's quiet, then that's ok. Huh? You kidding? Every time the ball goes within 30 yards of the Rovers goal, the guy will have a massive uncontrolled erection. He's a chemistry student, for God's sake. He hasn't a clue about the beautiful game. Or dodgy massage parlours. God help him when they get a corner, he'll be convulsing, poor lad. And let me tell you: don't think those sneaky dingles won't be playing for the corner with all their underhand pass-and-move tactics that that nasty Owen Colic has got them doing - just to get them dingles jumping up and down like, like... well, like dingles. The guy's going to be wishing he was in A&E at RBH, I tell you. In fact, he might just get his wish come true.

So Wayne, lad, do yer mate a favour and don't let him suffer. It doesn't need to be like this. Tell him the game's been called off - he'll be none the wiser. And you'll save face. With yer mate and, more importantly, with the fine members of this massage board.
