REGARDING the arrangements for the Blackburn Rovers v Burnley derby match, I am absolutely disgusted at being forced to pay £4 for a coach leaving Turf Moor at 9.30am that I and many others don't want to take.

It means arriving at the ground about two and a half hours before the match starts.

Not all Burnley fans live in Burnley and this is called taking a liberty. Are we now a police state? What about people's rights in this country?

Talk about going over the top. I know some Rovers fans will respond that they had to go through the same procedure, but the difference is they were quite happy with the arrangements. Their coaches were free for a start.

I reckon most Burnley fans will tolerate this situation one time only and the next time we visit Blackburn we will make our own way there. We do not need supervision like it's a school day trip.

Burnley FC don't supply coaches to Bolton, Preston or anywhere else for that matter. It stinks.
