Considering Sky usually show a 12:30 Saturday Championship game anyway, what is the rationale for (presumably) local plod making this game, and Cardiff v Swansea take place mostly at Sunday dinner?

Do hoolies behave better on a Sunday?

Less drinking time, but tbh if you're that way minded you'll find a way to get pissed anyway.

In what way? You can still sup for hours on a Sunday. Not exactly Sunday trading .

Still less inclined on a Sunday than a Saturday imo. And early kick off shaves another 2.5hrs off.

I just hope neither set of fans embarrasses themselves on Remembrance Sunday 😕

For those mentioning the Forest fan dyeing in Burnley, let us not forget the Carlisle fan dyeing up at Carlisle when a Rovers fan returned a brick into a crowd of Carlisle fans that had previously been thrown at Rovers fans.

Every club has its idiots we can only hope that this match passes off relatively peacefully.

The lad in question lived a few doors away from me at the time. He wasn’t a football hooligan or a troublemaker of any kind. He just got swept along and in a moment of madness threw the brick. I’m sure he’s regretted his actions every day since.

[Mattyblue]

Really, Mike? The kind of folk that would kick off? Doubt the day would make one iota of difference.

And obviously Saturday would’ve been 12:30 too.

I couldn't believe it when it was announced Rovers' fans could make their own way to the match.  I genuinely fear for the safety of some of our fans.

I don't think there's any doubt there are idiots in the fan base of both clubs but from what I've seen over recent times both at Ewood and Turf Moor, the Rovers' core seem to be of the younger generation whilst Burnley still seem to have a hard core of the older generation who I think would run the Rovers' fans well and truly out of town.

Will be watching on tv as I've a family event early afternoon.

To all Rovers' fans going, be safe and sensible.

As expected they aren't serving ale at half time, given their last attempts its probably for the best....

Monotone. Right good go.

The tackle (assault) by Ball on Dunn still makes me laugh. In the longer footage he walks off claiming he got the ball 😂

They don’t get DT for football, your assumption is wrong!

A metaphor for the match?

Jesus the way some people are talking on here you'd think Burnley was fucking Helmand or something.

The subs in the Ewood defeat still rankle. Dyche must have thought it was his birthday and Christmas all at once.

I doubt we'll see the spectacle of " Buzzes " being " buzzed " by drones or missiles, even though we Clarets do have an advantage as " Bomb Aimers ", because of the extra finger .... 🙄
