Basically, “the group” will give them money if necessary. I think the group has more cash than we realise. I always tread carefully when someone starts a sentence with “Basically”, usually means they are pretending to be an expert in a field they have little expertise. I stand to be corrected NewCl...

Thanks Tony. Really looking forward to this. For Melbourne Clarets it’s our first game of the season. But with how it’s gone, added to 2am kick offs for most part of it. Bed wins.

Can’t wait to meet you and Martyn and the guys - thanks for all your work Rammy

Sounds like a bl00dy long journey for a NZ fan.

Closer for us flying to Melbourne from NZ than anyone turning up from Perth in Australia!

Thanks Vegas and Brad.

Appreciate the heads up on the twitter account. We are now sorted!!!

Thanks again and UTC

Hey fellow Clarets. Looking for a favour for a fellow Claret who is travelling over from Ireland and will be in London this weekend. The away end is sold out and I believe that tickets are electronic, but looking for anyone who might be able to help him getting a ticket in the Burnley end. Any advic...

AotearoaClaret

Yeah, that's what I thought - so to watch all our games you'll need to subscribe to both Sky Sports Now and Clarets+ which comes to around $700 per year. Bit of an increase from the $255 we paid for Spark Sport last season :cry: Completely agree mate. That’s why I recommend trying to get a friend w...

AotearoaClaret

Good point mate- I’m not sure tbh - I would imagine they would be live, and then probably available a couple of days later.

I don’t think there is a perfect solution in fairness!

AotearoaClaret

And the actual package to go for….. sorry the photos above are the wrong way round/ not in chronological order!

AotearoaClaret

Hey Christchurch Claret, (cheers Tony for the heads up) Best way is going to be through the club website as far as I can see. Clarets+ International offers all games live and/or demand, aside from the games that will be on sky. I’ve taken some screen shots below which should help you navigate to the...

He could just sell all the assets, not renew any contracts, play the U23s , use the parachute to pay off the debt.

Clear off.

This casting of Pace as an innocent businessman who just happened to stumble across a good deal is absolutely bizarre. Completely agree with what you are saying, but he has no ties to the club or area and saw an opportunity. It’s a risk/gamble that he is more than happy to take considering the cash...

Taylor is in the “plus” column, seriously ? The dinosaur is gone, good riddance.

Slow down on the beers tonight mate, you are gonna give yourself a coronary. Christ alive you are all over every thread trying to have an argument. Weird.

AotearoaClaret

Crouch, Walters, Taylor, Reid, Lennon et al. Yeah, superb. Jobs for the lads. Superb. Not saying that all his signings were fantastic, but he got as many right as wrong. Heaton, Tarkowski, Barton, gray, Arfield, pope, taylor, wood (arguably given goals scored), Jack cork, Steven defour, Steven Ward...

As much as I disliked the lack of investment, I’d probably take it if it meant we were put back in a more stable financial position.

It would mean there would be guaranteed money to have another sustainable go at getting back up again to the top table. Not a further roll of the dice.

AotearoaClaret

Yank venture capitalists are exactly what they say on the tin.

Mike Garlick claims to be a supporter but sold the club to the highest bidder to line his own pockets, despite knowing what it means to the town, community and surrounding areas, and knew exactly how risky the buyout was.

AotearoaClaret

We won't get £77.5m for Pope, Cornet and McNeil and I wouldn't be assuming we have £50m in the bank. Absolutely. Can you imagine clubs paying that sort of money to us knowing we have quite obvious cash flow issues? All the power will be in the buyers hands. E.g as good as Pope is, we all know you c...

AotearoaClaret

I think football wise, you can argue that Pace made a big call with dyche, but I think it’s much bigger than that. Football managers come and go and competition means that relegation is always a possibility. Ups and downs are part and parcel of the game we love. More debt round the clubs shoulders t...

Yes please John. We messaged him on Twitter though and said that we hope to have in at our next meeting. Please let him know we have been in touch and thanks again to you all.

I've seen where they are staying for the weekend too - it's no doss house that's for sure. I don't know whether they've got me down for another guest appearance.

Maybe from the top of Mt Iron Tony - if we get there!

Hoping for a meet up next season in Melbourne with NZ & Sydney clarets. Travel restrictions pending.

Barney, yep sounds class, we will be keen…… I’ll be in touch via Neil in the next couple months post Wanaka. Hope you are keeping well in Victoria.

Thanks as always Tony, and thanks for checking in on the spelling!

Beautiful part of the world and of course, if anyone knows of any exiled clarets, please put them in touch.

Sometimes a person in the public eye passing away really hits you hard.

sometimes I feel like a dopey Lancastrian in a rain soaked flat cap, and a woodbine dangling from my lips, as all around me corporate and smiling people, with NO grasp of what my world is about, do their poxy accounts in league with faceless money lenders.

Does such a thing exist? I’ve been living in Florence for over a year now and was just curious to know if there are any other Clarets living in Italy?

To be honest you have to say to both the Aussie and Kiwi Clarets they are outstanding for so far away and still get up to watch the team play at all hours .
