Just a shame so many missed out on tickets because the club took a stupid allocation.

Lowest turnout of Burnley fans for a Premier League game there. I’ve understood some of the lower allocations we’ve taken recently but baffled with this one. More so with the number of non Clarets in there.

I was at Littleborough where we were battered by Enfield. Our deputy pro Tom Rogers played more like Ted Rogers. Things can only get better. And as for cold cricket grounds I give you The Pollards home of Oldham CC. Played there in the late Seventies and it snowed. Our pro that year Franklyn Stephe...

Nathan Redmond - which suprises me

I wouldn't have got Redmond, was sure he'd played more than once.

Was that in 68 or round about as i went with my dad as my first away game and can remember Best playing with one boot on can't remember much more as i was only a kid.. FA Cup 5th round in 1964/65 having beaten Brentford and Reading in the previous rounds. We'd played and lost there the week before ...

Thank you Tony.

This must have been mentioned but I haven't seen it:

When was the last time we were awarded a penalty at OT prior to Saturday?

We got two at the Stretford End in 1973/74, both converted by Taffy. I can't think of one since.

I never liked playing cricket in a jumper, but at Bash it was a must.

Is it colder than Bacup?

ClaretTony

Great report. That 2 1 defeat in the Cup back in the 60s obviously hurt you as much as it did me! First visit - Law and Crerand in the last six minutes with Best running round with one boot in his hand setting up the goals. And then I waited, and waited and waited to see us win there. That 2-0 win ...

We played them in the FA Cup, 83-84ish. They were bad mouthing us pre-game but we sent them home with their tail between their legs, 6-1 I think. 3rd round 1981/82 - Steve Taylor(2), Trevor Steven & Billy Hamilton(3). You are right, they were bad mouthing us. They thought they were going to come he...

Surprised that cone wasn't wearing a half and half scarf! Never seen as many people wearing red and white draped in them. Just looks daft! At least the half and half scarves were authentic (a Sean Dyche word) yesterday. We went one year and we saw them on sale with the Aston Villa badge on the Burn...

Good game at Accy, despite the arctic conditions

Is it ever anything but at Accy. Always thought of it as being one of the coldest although not quite Haslingden and definitely not Bacup.

At a fans Q&A with the manager, I think it was Steve Cotterill, Lee Hoos, our Chief Exec at the time, hijacked the opening and did a bit of a rant the jist of which was 'in the USA, a $70 seat was a $70 seat no matter who sat in it'. He really did have a problem with concession pricing. So it's not...

Manchester United v Burnley report

Out of curiosity, what would you say a reasonable discount would be from a full price season ticket to a seniors one? It was once 50% across the board at Burnley. I’ve been paying around 40% discount since qualifying but down next season to just over 30%. Rest assured they will reduce that discount...

Just how boring are City ?

Watched them win 4-0 at Brighton on Thursday and was bored to tears. It came on the night after I watched Everton v Liverpool.

Are any of the bowlers wearing gloves? It's certainly cold enough!

And forecast to be over 20 in Burnley next Saturday

Neither of the two local clubs have started their innings well.

Burnley are 28/3 chasing 99 and Lowerhouse are 34/5 chasing 163.

I was told before the Brentford home game that Beyer and kompany had a disagreement after Beyer thought he was rushed back to fitness leading to him getting injured again. He had been back in Germany a few times since his injury

I didn’t say why in my previous post but that’s what I was told.

good to see a new team coming into the league.

While Oldham v Rochdale is now a non-league fixture

ClaretTony

The one thing missing from this story is whose instigation this would come with. Do we want rid, or does the player? We are well stocked in that position, other players have developed, if we go down, and if selling Jordan means we don’t have to sell Koleosho (taking an example) then it could be us ...

How long has FSP been with us??

We don’t get this info and we can only assume he’s with us given he had a Burnley top on with his initials on it. A lot of clubs list their coaching staff and all their academy staff but we don’t.

Florent Sinama Pongolle, I stand to be corrected, but I’m sure he played in the cup tie against Liverpool when Traore turned into his own goal.

He certainly played for them down the road as well!

He did

Everton would be level with Brighton without their points deduction.

Bournemouth’s manager is doing a good job.

And they keep telling us what such a good season Brighton are having

All the costs to the club to provide each seat are exactly the same whoever is sitting in the seat. There is no incentive whatsoever to the club to offer concessionary tickets - yet they still do. Many other venues and experiences offer discounts for seniors and children that are only around 5 or 1...

Two ex-Clarets in final with James Clarke & Alex Whitmore at Solihull. Potentially a third with Cricky Conn-Clarke should Alty win their semi.

Enjoyed getting around on bikes apart from falling off one. Be careful. I’ve only been in Berlin once and that was for just a few hours on the way to Athens for the Olympiacos game.

I’m onewho easily now falls into this category and was a bit miffed at seeing a 26% increase in early bird prices.

Same here but I wouldn't say that the increase means that the Club don't want concessionary supporters. Also, I'm not sure that O65's and U22 are that poor that they should have a reduced price. Can't believe you don't think that. They've joined the Premier League cartel and will reduce and reduce ...

Yes I know they are members thanks. However, I didn’t think that they had priority for ticket sales over those with the required number of points when tickets first go on sale.

They can get them before they go on sale to those with 2,000 points.

That's either player complimentaries or sponsors/corporate passing their tickets on.

Or the queue jumpers (members) selling them on.
