Sounds great in theory, BUT how do you plan for this????

Lancs Daves spot on, all BFC season ticket holders get free entry. On average last year from 7k, 300 regularly took up the offer. How many will from 15K???

Yes all cash admissions are ours. But how many will come??? How many stewards, staff' turnstile people do we need??? Get too many and we're wasting money, too few and the messageboards moaners from 3 clubs will be having a field day!!! Same with the bar; order 100 pies and sell out in 10 minutes, order 500, nobody comes and potentially money wasted.

IMHO the worst possible fixture to start with, really could have done with a Hull or Sunderland to break us in gently!!!

Lancs Dave what's your honest view???
