There is no way this stunt is real, look at the picture carefully and look at the shorts, its so obvious its been done by a computer

They deffo did it, and as alreayd stated it was removed within minutes by security.

I'm interested to know this too. The no booze at European games made for a crap atmosphere IMO. As I've secured MOnday off work too I think I'm due a good sup.

My understanding is that they will definitely be selling alcohol inside the ground, although it might not be until 12 i.e. an hour before kick-off.

Come on BRFC - get those Darwen End tickets on sale...

As I've stated at least twice on this thread, there is no chance of that happening.

There's probably no chance of anyone finding them from the pictures though, I think they all look like that over there.

mmmm ... I'm sure that's the flag that has been at England games I've been at in the past (if not its very similar)

Fair do's for trying something I say (if not original) - still doesn't come anywhere near the 'bird in the sky'

Shame they couldn't have gone for a blimp in they sky .... oh no they can't do that because they lost it - as they will the game!

It's actually both but ones sung after the other.

Looks like they are planning to sing something similar to us.

I didn't like what Sky Sports News did today. Previewed the game on Sunday with a Tim Sherwood interview (that bit is ok) ... but during the interview they cut to pictures of the recent trouble at the West Ham v Millwall game. Absolutely no need.

There will definitely be alcohol on sale inside Ewood Park, but as previously said, it might not be before 12pm even though the turnstiles should be open at 11.

The club could help themselves (and their matchday revenue) here, by actually making it clear on their own website exactly what will be available and when.

There is no re-entry to the ground, so I'm not swiping through the turnstile at 11am unless I know for definite there will be beer on sale at that time. So unless they confirm that, I will look elsewhere for pre-match build up.

It won't take rocket science to work out which local pubs might be operating earlier (or how to get into them).

This article on the SquareFootball site has an imaginary XI of Blackburn/Burnley players on offer. He goes for...

Jensen (Burnley)

Mears (Burnley)

Samba (Rovers)

Nelson (Rovers)

Jordan (Burnley)

Alexander (Burnley)

Elliott (Burnley)

Dunn (Rovers)

Andrews (Rovers)

Fletcher (Burnley)

Nugent (Burnley)

Hmm...seven Burnleyites to just four Roverites...and one of those is Keith Andrews!

Not only that...but no place for Givet?!? Our best player?!?

Square Football - Rovers/Burnley Starting XI

Apparently the author is from Aberdeen so is no Dingle...but like another journalist might be a big admirer of a certain (very good, I must admit) Scottish manager...

Just found this on another site.............

Taken from Wikipedia:

Andy Potter is the infamous leader of The Suicide Squad, a hooligan group attatched to Burnley FC.

Among his many other claims to fame, he is a best selling author.

Potter claims that as a child, he would play subbuteo, however, because of a genetic condition, thought to effect around 80,000 of his relatives, he found it difficult to flick the players because of an extra finger on each hand.

Instead he preferred to act out crowd disorder, using his toy soldiers.

As a youngster, his only ambition was to be hard. He feels he has achieved this, as he is quoted as saying:

"I always wanted to be hard. The first time I realised I was hard was when I was stood with a big group of lads, slightly drunk, and very exited. To this day, nothing makes me harder than when I'm around lads."

Potter spent several years writing his memoirs, and finally saw his book (Initially titled: sewiside scwad) published in 2007.

The book received rave reviews, and was nominated for the Purlitzer Prize for Childrens fiction, eventually losing out to Spot the Dog goes for a walk.

Potter is a former soldier and took part in the Falklands conflict. It is claimed that he single handedly saw off the entire Argentinian army, unarmed.

His heroics prompted an alteration to the Geneva convention, article 3.42 now stating: "Andrew Porter poses far more threat to the safety and well being of any nation or peoples than any nuclear, biological or chemical weapon, and as such, any use of him in a wartime situation is strictly prohibited."

Potter is a multi millionaire having built his fortune from his fashion empire, Stone Ireland. Initially, it was a small operation where his mother/wife would knit jumpers for Porter to sell to his amassed army of 3 billion "Squaddies". The popularity of the clothing was so great he know employs around 3,000 knitters, but manages to keep all business dealings within his family.

Despite a threat of legal action from a rival italian company who felt their copyright had been infringed, the knitwear remains popular in Burnley to this day.

Potter is best mates with Danny Dyer, who is going to get him into films.

Potter is a former 5 time WWF champion.

It is reported that Porter once put a rival hooligan into a coma by merely looking at him.

Potter is credited with the invention of "The Millwall Brick", after seeing off the entire Millwall treatment off cold blow lane, armed only with a copy of the financial times.

Potter's agent and relative, Rocky Mills, is currently in negotiations with Sky TV over pay per view rights for his proposed upcoming handicap cage fight where he and will take on Bill Gardner, Cass Pennant, Andy Nicholls, Bex Bisell and Steve Hickmont

Potter is currently subject to a banning order, and cannot attend football matches. In his court case, Porter claimed to have put his past behind him.

When faced with his book as evidence, the defence counsel pointed out that no-one in their right mind would take such a blatant work of fiction so seriously.

Similarly, Porters appearance on "the real football factories" was scrutinised. Porters lawyer successfully arguing that Porter had been in awe of host Danny Dyer, and had "wanted to impress him".

:D
