Burnley fan faces amazing trip to see heroes at Ewood Park

Burnley fan Jason Taylor faces an amazing round trip to see the derby against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

The Sun says Taylor, 28, lives around the corner from Rovers' Ewood Park ground but the trip to the game will take him FOUR HOURS and cover FIFTY miles.

That's because Burnley fans have been told to report to Turf Moor four hours before kick-off and travel the 13 miles to Blackburn by coach. After the game the transport returns them to Turf Moor.

Jason said: "I'll be getting up at 7.30am for a game four minutes away. I'm very frustrated at these measures which are totally over the top.

"I'll spend the day in the car, the coach and on the motorway."
