Fixture change already

Last updated : 24 June 2003 By Tony Scholes

Our first away match of the season at West Brom on Saturday 16th August is to be shown live on Sky Sports. The date won’t change but the kick off has been put back to 5:35 p.m. for the live screening.

The Clarets will pick of £10,000 extra from Sky for this as they did last season when the away game at Preston was similarly changed. That was one of only two league games covered last time with the other one the home fixture against Millwall.

We did of course find ourselves on television four times for cup ties but this will be the first Burnley league match shown on television since last October and the 3-1 defeat at Deepdale.

There are no ticket details for this game yet but expect to pay a lot more at the Hawthorns than last time. In 2001/02 season it cost us just £14 but it is thought that the charge for 2003/04 for away fans will be £20.
