Free Blackburn coaches for all

Last updated : 14 April 2005 By Nik Taylor

Fancy going to the Blackburn game next Wednesday night? How about if you could get there for free?

Palace are offering free coach travel for anyone who wants to make the trip to Ewood Park, a deal that follows the lead set by fellow strugglers West Brom.

The Baggies have laid on transport for all their fans for recent away games, and have enjoyed an upturn in fortunes that included their 4-1 demolition of Charlton at The Valley.

Iain Dowie has made no secret of his keenness to see more Eagles fans at away matches, and the free deal should boost what would normally be expected to be a low away attendance. Hopefully those extra supporters can help Palace get something from what will be a very tough match.

If you want to take advantage of the freebie football bus, you need to book yourself a seat from the box office.

Tickets for the match are on sale now at £24 each.
