urnley have decided to once again allocate the entire David Fishwick Stand to away supporters for next season's Championship campaign.[LNB] This season the stand was segregated to allow season ticket holders to sit behind the goal.[LNB]However, the cost of policing 275 fans next season has been deemed uneconomical following relegation from the Premier League.[LNB]"Last season it was a difficult decision to consider offering a portion of the David Fishwick Stand to home supporters as the police would only allow in season ticket holders, not match-by-match supporters," said chief executive Paul Fletcher.[LNB]"The cost to Burnley Football Club was over £100,000 but this was justified by the fantastic take-up of seats.[LNB]"Obviously this [coming] season is much different and the £100,000 cost for less than 300 supporters, when there are vacant seats in other parts of the stadium, is not economical."[LNB]As a result supporters will be relocated to other parts of the ground at no extra cost.[LNB]
