For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When i used to go and watch the 'Clarets' home and away, i used to spend roughly the same amount no matter what day of the week the match was on. Granted, it was sometimes more inconvenient to travel to away games on a Sunday but not to a degree where i ever considered not travelling.
I think that we are all agreed that the main winners are Sky tv (and BT now). I just don't think that there are any real losers.

Alba; that wasn't a league match. That was either one of the semi-finals (which are now played at Wembley to recuperate some of the cost of the build!) or the final of the League Cup. A ludicrous situation brought about by the insistence of the late kick off.
Tonyav; I was quite amazed to find that Burnley now use a 2 tier charge at the turnstiles, depending upon which team we are playing. Now if that is purely to cover the extra cost of policing the larger crowds expected for an 'A' fixture, fine. Unfortunately i suspect that even my beloved mob are capable of extracting that little bit extra from the die-hards.
