Lancashire Police have today forced Blackburn into not releasing further tickets for Stoke fans for the upcoming clash at Ewood Park. It had been hoped that 7000 tickets would be made available to Potters fans for the game, but police have now intervened and restricted the allocation to just 4700, which has now sold out.
This is massive blow to many Potters fans who have yet to get their tickets and were hoping to taking advantage of the clubs' genourous offer of free coach travel.
Unfortunatly this is yet another example of how poorly Stoke fans are treated by the police in this apparant 'free country'. We've had all the Micky Mouse policy of the Greater Manchester Police enforced on us recently, and yet despite the club's decision to remove the Away Card scheme for 'good behaiviour' us normal fans have again been punished.
Coincedenly both Manchester United and Liverpool fans were given the full 7000 allocation for their recent trips to Blackburn with no objections from the police.
One rule for the 'big' teams and another for the rest.
