Despite the note which many people got with their ticket, Burnley have announced that the David Fishwick Stand will be open; the roof has been repaired, so we will be occupying our usual end on a sit where you like basis - ticket seat numbers do not apply.

We will be looking at this instead of sitting in it.

Directions
M1 to junction 42
M62 to junction 24
A629 to Halifax
A646 to Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and towards Burnley, finally entering Burnley on the A671

Just over 130 miles - almost 100 miles of which is on motorway. About 2½ hours.


Trains
You will not be surprised to hear that it is not possible to get back to Leicester by train after the game.

If you do want to stay overnight, rooms in the Travelodge next to Burnley Barracks station are £49 for the night of the game.


Pubs
For a cheap drink and cheap food, try the 110 Club in Yorkshire Street quite close to the ground. It's a private club, but you'll get signed in for 20p and save more than that on your first pint.

A little further away are the Sparrow Hawk and the Talbot, opposite each other in Church Street - both serve away fans with no problem.

If you're looking for a Brewers Fayre type meal (with parking during the game!), you need the Queen Victoria in Queen Victoria Road - about a 10-minute walk from the ground.

Local map - ground is on Harry Potts Way in the middle of the map.

Some people will pay on the gate, but even after getting 6 points from the last two games, I still wouldn't expect us to get more than 600 to this game.

 

[bocadillo]

Ticket Office still saying "around 400 sold".

To be fair, thats not bad. Horrible place to go at a weekend never mind in the week.

I usually email them a day before the game and ask them if tickets will be available on the gate and how many tickets have been sold. I then put the information into the relevant thread.

No some people buy a ticket for the match then ask out of curiosity how many have been sold. :icon_eek:

I don't understand why people seem to get this kind of service. I emailed the t/o on Friday re a 'six-pack'. I got a 'read receipt' 10min 09secs after I posted and a confirmation that the tickets were awaiting collection 19min 14 secs after posting.

I think it may have something to do with the fact that they see you as GOD, and the rest of us are just no bodies who they can put aside for a day or 2.

it was a bit of a shambles what happened, after a day of waiting for a reply i texted the old woman who rang up for me. the ticket office confirmed that the ones i requested would not be issued, then when i got home from work i had 6 tickets for a game haha. this has just reminded me that i havent called for my southend tickets...
