Whats the point of playing a reasonbly well known eoropean club like AEK away from home But still in Lancs!, are they genuinely that scared of playing at home these days, Clearly nothing has changed.

maybe the start of a permanent ground share as what's the point in playing at a 30,000 capacity stadium when no-one wants to go because of Mr K ?

seriously would not put an idea like that past these creeps,

Im starting to feel the Venky family have nothing but contempt towards brfc fans and the town itself as we are prob the only people in their entire disgusting spoilt spoon fed lifes that have stood up to them and said no do-one your just a bunch idiots.

It's because as tafkap said. We were due to play a tourney in Preston. Bill kyboshed it due to Olympics. Aek had already arranged a game. No conspiracy

I'm able to go to the Rochdale preseason friendly, now put aside all the anti Venkys/Kean stuff for a minute, from a purely football point of view do you think I should bother? It's a £40 train ticket and a 4 hour journey, but I'm able to stay in Manchester for free, hence why I'm a bit hesitant.

In a word - no!

It will be half a team (at best) who play vs Rochdale, save your money for a proper away trip

Thought as much, cheers for the response... I'm guessing I won't be able to buy Burnley tickets, considering I barely see Blackburn live once a season?

Home or away?

If its home simply buy a cheap ticket for a different game and you'll be on the database and eligible for a burnley ticket. As for the away game, I get the feeling that this seasons away game will not sell out, that said you may struggle with the police restrictions imposed on the fixture.

[bennyboyt11]

Home I imagine, be better to see my first Burnley match at Ewood. It's not until next March so I'm pretty sure I'd have gone to Ewood before then, so I should be on the database.

No Jorden Slew or Bruno in the 25 man squad in austria(yes myles is included though)- http://www.rovers.co...2836334,00.html

I think the interesting names missing are Gamst and NZonzi No euro duties for either of these 2

Gamst was on international duties, even though they were just friendlies.

[Baz]

Think Nzonzi had an op too, so that or an impending transfer would answer that.
