BLACKBURN Rovers supporters will only be allowed to go to next month’s Turf Moor East Lancashire derby via official coaches - with the club laying on free travel.

Season ticket holders who have attended two or more away games this campaign will be eligible for a ticket for the trip to Burnley on March 28, with sales starting on March 1.

Rovers have been given an allocation of 2400 and fans who qualify for the sought-after tickets will be sent a letter and application form by post next week.

It is strictly one match ticket per qualifying season ticket holder and the free coach tickets will be allocated along with the match ticket. Fans are not permitted to travel to the game via any other mode of transport.

Tickets cost £35 for adults, £24 for senior citizens and £19 for juniors aged 15 and under, and all tickets will only be available via written application .
