Mods not usually one to tell tales…… but it seems I’ve got an imposter! And even worse’s he’s a Burnley fan! Any chance of sorting this?! 

Yep - @DavidBrent please PM me a new username which you’d like and I’ll change your name. This is causing confusion 🙂

The rearranged date is 25 April

Looks like I'll be missing that then.

Who can work out the sequence of results needed for them to either win promotion or worse, the league at Ewood?

Or just as bad, what is needed for them to win the league at QPR and get a guard of honour at Ewood?

[Mattyblue]

Be amazed if they are not well up by then, it’s the third last game remember… winning the title on the other hand? 😟

On current form (assuming Sheff Utd win their game in hand) then they are 9 pts ahead - eg three games. So if the same form continued they would win the league at Ewood. If we beat Sheff Utd at weekend it would be a guard of honor at Ewood. 

Basically at this stage we need Burnley to keep winning and Sheff Utd to start losing.

I find this fuc&ing hilarious. All that bollocks about games having to kick off at 9am on a Sunday, bubble fixture etc. Sky come along, 'sure 8pm on a wed night is fine, no worries'. Just goes to show what a load of shite it all is. F**k sky and Murdoch btw

Not a cat in hells chance of a guard of honour at Ewood both sets of inbred dumb fuckwitted idiots would have a field day and mayhem would follow

*Murdoch sold Sky about five years ago.

F*ck that American conglomerate Comcast!

They play each other on April 10th which could be pivotal to our thinking.

Aha - didn’t realise that. Yep, we need Burnley to beat them. 

[superniko]

3 days after our FA Cup Semi-Final victory, more fitting for us to get a guard of honour

[arbitro]

Don't shoot the messenger but I was told they are only getting the top tier on police advice. They fear a pitch invasion which would undoubtedly entice some of our lot onto the pitch and mass disorder could ensue.

The Dingles owe them after being battered at Bramall Lane. And the Dingles could do us a huge favour, which they would enjoy immensely.

Would make sense but that means no rovers fans below. 

[Mattyblue]

‘Mass disorder’! 😁

Sounds about right for Lancs Police. Amazing how other forces, i.e Glasgow, seem to manage policing high profile derbies without ridiculous restrictions…

Also means only a section of the Darwen End they can smash up. Would mean no Rovers below for obvious reasons.

Yep the overkill that ruins this fixture suddenly takes a back seat when the deep state of SKY gets in touch.

Strange that although i assume they then presume a late tv kick off game at top whack prices keeps the mythical hordes of nutters away.

The club and police must worship SKY.

As I said it was only what I was told and nothing official has been issued. I guess the delay in the game now gives them more breathing space now with regard to tickets allocations. If it is true though I think part of the rationale is to keep the idiots away. An allocation of 2800 would more than likely be snapped up by regulars rather than the Neanderthals who want to cause trouble.

[Mattyblue]

They have around 14k ST holders, so surely even a 5/6k allocation would get nowhere near general sale and still be regulars…

8 games in April now. Lets hope it doesn't become our new February.

[MarkBRFC]

Nothing really stopping them coming over for the afternoon without tickets and causing chaos is there?

Sad - but true.

Owing them and collecting not always the same thing. They had the game for us that day, no reason they won’t again.

This is the most pointless part of these games. Of all the idiocy that occurs, smashing each others grounds up and landing your own club with a huge bill whilst not in any way inconveniencing the opposition fans you apparently hate.

I’d already decided I wouldn’t go to this game but with all the additional jeopardy of promotions/champions/play off spots I definitely won’t be reconsidering.

Bet the Police are thrilled! Day, or at best, 3 hours of drinking for 100's if not thousands of fans!
