They're certainly very generous at the shite end of the M65. Rolling over without a fight or even a whimper.
I was annoyed as hell when the draw was made - I HATE the East Lancs Derby - but I needn't have worried. Most comfortable we have ever been in a game against the Chicken Farmers.
What a life.

Blackburn 0 - 2 Burnley
This has been on my mind over the last couple of days. This fixture is still a "bubble" game*, which is a police term for those games where away fans are not allowed to make their own way to the grounds. Instead, they are herded in on official coaches:

This, to me, has always made the situation worse. It plants the seed of hostility and expected trouble in any fan's mind who may be that way inclined to start off with. Lancashire Police just don't trust either set of fans to behave, but they haven't given them a chance. When the fans met for the first time in 17 years back in 2000, football had changed a lot since the troubled times of the 70s - 90s, but it was presumed that a world war would develop between us.
Anyway, this seemed even sillier to me this week. The usual travel restrictions applied and burnley fans were escorted into the ground some 1.5 hours before kick off by armed police. Yet, during the game, flares were set off in both ends and two Blackburn fans were able to saunter onto the pitch and assault our players. No wonder SD was annoyed. What's the point of imposing all those sanctions when the real security concerns were so lax.
(*there are now just three bubble games left in English football. Without cheating, can you name them)?

Portsmouth v Southampton very likely to be one of them.

Chester vs Wrexham surely.
Wonder if Chester vs Tranmere and Wrexham vs Tranmere is as well. Cheshire/North Wales police are nuts for this kinda thing.

You'd think so, wouldn't you, but no this isn't one of them.

Chester v Wrexham is correct. The other aren't.
1) Burnley v Blackburn
2) Chester v Wrexham

Boom.
Well done.
1) Burnley v Blackburn
2) Chester v Wrexham
3) Cardiff v Swansea
It's depressing as hell to be part of that group of fans. But even more depressing is that so many of our fans see it as a badge of honour. Like it is somehow impressing to hate your rivals that much that you have to be separated by armed police in case you cause physical harm.
Sigh.

Love Nakhi Wells. Such a good player. Hope he does really well for you.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Thanks, me too!
A lot of Burnley fans are a little underwhelmed by the signing - I am not sure what they expect these days - but he's going to give us a different option to Vokes and Wood.
I am fairly nervous about the gamble we have taken in not bringing in another Centre Half
