FFS grow up and stop fretting.
Peter, Rod et al will already have everything covered, so stop worrying.
The majority of the Burnley fans will be local residents anyway, but even if it was a "mobbed up mafia" in the new home stand, wtf are they going to get out of taking us anyway ?, like its ever going to be bragged about and written in the "hooligans yearbook 2010/11 " that the mighty Burnley took over the small family club Morecambe - c'mon its like bragging that a school 6th former beat up the new kid 1st year - not worth it. Burnley have a vocal following which is fantastic. IMO they're not idiots.
In 30 years of following, I think I've only seen trouble at a Morecambe match 5 times and 3 of them were away ! We don't want trouble that's why we don't get involved, maybe thats the soft approach but thats the best way, don't let the football ruin your day put and all that. FFS we have enough trained killers and lads who have big fists who follow the shrimps, if that was what it's all about, BUT ITS NOT.
In my time, this is the biggest professional cup tie we have ever had. Yeah Ipswich ( x2) were fantastic as was Hull ( twice again ) and even York ( PNE was brilliant first time, but 2nd time lets forget), but what comes close to Burnley at home ?
Only somebody like United, City or Liverpool would better this draw, and they were'nt in it.
So let's enjoy it for what it is. Yes I expect us to get stuffed, as I did against Coventry, Wolves, PNE, so what, this is a massive night for us, lets leave the worrying to the professionals who deal with this and look after all this detail.
No need to scaremonger
