Which bright spark has decided to stage a friendly at Stanley 5 days before the biggest Lancashire derby in years? The Police and clubs are so concerned about trouble at the derby on the 18th that we see almost unprecedented security measures put in place. Not long ago the reserve derby, which should have been played on Stanleys ground, was postponed on Police advise with talk of restrictions on attendance when it is eventually played. Now Rovers are to play at Stanley amidst all the hype of the build up to the big game. Do the Police really not believe nutters from both teams will not look at this as the perfect opportunity to arrange a 'meet' given the arrangements at Ewood just days later all but make that impossible? At the very last I will guarantee there will Burnley fans there spoiling for a fight.

IF the risk of violence at the derby on the 18th is so great that it is necessary to put in place all the draconian measures we will all suffer from (Rovers and Burnley) surely staging a game that could be used by trouble makers to vent their anger towards each other is irresponsible..........but I`ll still be there!

Keep your hair on. All I'm saying is I'd rather not risk our players in a mid-season friendly match.

No you are not. You've been campaigning against helping Stanley all along.

Ill be going along to this and I agree that there are a few players that could do with a bit of match practice ahead of the Burnley game especially those not involved with international matches who otherwise would go about 2 weeks with no game!

Bought mine from Ewood yesterday.

Our initial allocation is 250 (100 terrace tickets and 150 seats). The terrace holds a few hundred more so more tickets will be there if we need them.

Official site

Ticket has arrived through the post this morning saying "Clayton stand - home support". There must be no segregation for this one.

Will this be on the radio? I can't go, but I'd be interested in following the game. Or will the beeb site be doing updates?

Doubt it, but the Rovers website will prob do their usual 'min by min' text.

If you want to increase your chances of getting a ticket for the return clash with our neighbors from the cobbled end of the M65 then buy your ticket from Ewood and book it against your buying history. I did this when I bought my tickets ... every little helps.

Anyone know if there will be audio/radio coverage on the Rovers website?

It does not look like it - I suppose they would be more interested in people going to the game as this is the aim - to raise money for Accy.
