sturutter Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Does anyone have any memory from previous years on whether it makes general sale? Is it only Leeds that get given the whole end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 We won't get the whole end - nor do we need it. Good chance it will reach general sale in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Should make general sale I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw pete Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Yes they will give us the all of the away end.. tickets should be available for general sale,,, But there will be plenty of tickets for General sale before the end of the season... Blackburn Swansea Ipswich Millwall Bolton, maybe Leeds Norwich should all make general sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Crawford Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Will definitely make general sale , you get the whole end 6800 tickets if you can sell them, which unfortunately I don't think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 if we were doing well we would sell the lot, took huge following to wigan and last season just under 6000 to preston 1st game. id guess about 4000 will go to blackburn so general sale for certain you will get tickets .

niallzi Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Big problem for this one is the Northern Rail strike which means potentially zero trains running between Manchester and Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We'llNeverBeMastered Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 This is a massive chance for people to build their TPP, yet only around 3000 will bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niallzi Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The best option might be to get the Trans Pennine Express to Preston then a (relatively) short taxi trip to Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Crawford Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 As a last resort we'll be getting the bus , takes just over half an hour, £8 for a Lancashire day rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the strike likely to be over by 1st December?? Ive got train tickets booked coming down from Scotland but I dont get to Preston till 1315. Might just get a refund (which I can do) as I cant be bothered with buses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Crawford Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Doubt the strike will be over , it's been going for a couple of years now , its about driver only trains and getting rid of the guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gritting my teath and baring it through these strikes because I do agree that trains need guards. Shall we organise a sponsored walk Got my ticket this morning. I'll go on my bmx if I have to.
