It's happened three times in their last three games.

But hasnt in 75 of their last 93.

They do have a window in 2022 as the WC won't be held until December, so there is some leeway if they wish to delay. Like everything else we'll just have to play it by ear I'm afraid. Yeah I realised that but that will still eat into the regular season meaning it starts earlier or finishes later or...

I thought this was reference to tier 6.

Just messaged you, CC
Don't really use any social media, other than this.
But flick through the photos on Instagram sometimes.
Good luck in your diploma!

Just seen thanks Buxton.

Something to keep occupied with / switch off to.

That's always a possibility, but you'd hope by the summer the situation will be a lot better then it currently looks.

I think so. But even so id put it off another year or so. Particularly as last summer there was no break. And next years World Cup year.

Perhaps not. I was wrong. It happens. Liverpool not out scoring someone rarely does.

I still have the odd person on there you know. I’ll ask them to WhatsApp you what nappies I recommend this week

Such poorly communicated rules and messages are a major part in us being in this mess a year on.

Could you potentially see if CFC can put you in touch?

I’m sure he will reply himself.

He didn’t need to read mine never mind respond. But as I say. Seems like positive improvements to communication. Only negative people could see negativity in that.

cricketfieldclarets

Are you going to share the letter? It’s just my personal views on my experience as a fan. How much potential the club has. A unique and patient fan base who will more often than not give outsiders, new players and managers time and support. There will be obstacles but despite what some may say, the...

cricketfieldclarets

What I'm saying is they try to represent the fans. They have had a privileged position in recent years with direct communication with the club and have helped a lot of fans during that time with issues. I understand what you are saying but they don't just represent their members, they will represen...

Spurs have started. With

Because some people only care about themselves during this whole thing. IN fact most.

You wont "unfriend" me after a few months once you build your followers up like you did on Facebook will you? It hurt so much I still haven't fully recovered. Edit - followed Thanks pal.

Liverpool will just outscore them.

I know quite a few on here are avid photographers / like the threads that others post on. Outside the day job and dad job, I am currently studying towards a photography diploma and compiling some of my portfolio of work on Instagram among other places.

cricketfieldclarets

They really are idiots some of these footballers.

cricketfieldclarets

Agree with the sentiment, but I am less optimistic that we will have seen an end to this by next season. Two new variants already and with people unable to follow rules a rising pandemic.... which will only lead to faster, harder mutations and eventually one resistant to the new vaccines.... God kn...

cricketfieldclarets

I like that Socrates has chosen Jordan North and Jimmy Anderson. For Jordan North we have plenty of folk saying "he's not really from Burnley" and for Jimmy there is rarely a thread with his name in that doesn't question his claim of being a Burnley fan! We can be a funny lot where success is conce...

I'm all for good communication but Pace has made a bit of a rod for his own back here. I've seen an incredible amount of tweets directed to him about who we should be signing etc. Imagine it might not be as pleasant in a few weeks after some defeats. That’s why his reply was great. Acknowledged it ...

cricketfieldclarets

Is it? Because Jordan North has done well for himself and nobody seems to dig him out. And Jimmy Anderson .... nobody has done better than him and all I see is absolute pride at him being from Burnley. Sir Ian McKellen too, even though he barely lived here. Glowing that he came from our town. Inter...

cricketfieldclarets

Communication is clearly going to be better but I hope individual fans don’t see it as licence to pester the Chairman with individual questions. Let him get on with the job. Why would he want or have the time for a meeting with an individual fan unless you were representing a supporters group and I...

cricketfieldclarets

That nails it on the head for me the way i feel about the ticket office. The newer staff have been good, however the staff that have been there years as you say have treated myself with such disregard i would have taken my business elsewhere had i not had been a fan of the club. I think they know t...

I hope we dont all start e-mailing him directly with letters and requests - it will seriously impact upon him and his time, which we dont want to do especially in January... I am sure in time he will empower those in his teams to manage that aspect of things. Improvement on the comms and SLO front ...

Delighted with the response to this. Many of you know just how much I’ve banged the drum on the issue of gambling endorsement, over the last couple of years. I won’t stop until it’s addressed. This is a pleading step forward... 166706EC-03FC-4FC2-AB28-D3E3C62637D8.jpeg Good reply. But lets hope the...

cricketfieldclarets

Really? Is this really true? Do I have it right that he was a dissenting voice when the decision was taken to appoint SD? Summat about him never sat right with me.... dunno why, he just seemed to me like it was more about him and his ego than Burnley FC. Even the statement is about what he’s done. ...

cricketfieldclarets

Any reflection on why that is? Have all those people independently come to the same conclusion and all are wrong? Or is it something about Flood that was responsible too? For the record I’m grateful for what Flood did. I thought he brought a drive and ambition not shared by anybody else on the boar...

cricketfieldclarets

Bring back the 1979 badge Mr Pace! head n shoulders the best badge in our history. (In my opinion) I personally prefer that badge. But the one we have now is definitely most associated with our identity. Its the one we had back in the day and its the one we have had when our global exposure has bee...

anyway. Back on track before thread closures. Its intended to be a positive, optimistic thread and there is plenty of reason for both!

That was before the new variant. It seems clear now, that the current Tiers are nowhere near tight enough, which is why they're due to become stricter.

Of course. Things change every day in a pandemic so important to bare that in mind. But as I say i am confident.

cricketfieldclarets

The best feedback you'll ever get is from your customers (fans). So I hope they do try and read/listen to all views. 99% of it will be a load of old shite, but they can always pick things up that they wouldn't have otherwise thought. I am sure they will read this forum if not even post on here too!

Can you tell him that we want the proper Burnley badge back on shirts! Instead of the hideous one we got now.

I actually nearly joked about that

cricketfieldclarets

Clubs have managed it without vaccines so I am optimistic.

Time will tell. Either way we will be in a much better place I expect come spring.

cricketfieldclarets

On a related note the pitches have never looked so good typical isnt it!

For me the smell of deep heat in the old changing rooms still sticks in my mind (and nose haha).

cricketfieldclarets

Hopefully they take on board the views of all supporters, not just the supporters groups, they do good work, but don't represent the majority of supporters. A questionnaire sent to all those on the clubs database would be a good starting point. I agree. I did comment loosely to that effect. A broad...

pretty sure fans won't be back until the start of next season in significant numbers - but would not argue with the sentiment

Next season I agree on capacity but i would be optimistic that come April May we may see some crowds around 25%

cricketfieldclarets

Have to say the soundbites coming out from the new board have been refreshing. The proof will obviously be in the pudding, but they are already coming out with the sort of messages and positivity that you would hope for. On top of that a big thing they seem to want to focus on is regular communicati...

cricketfieldclarets

Good on him. And like a few managers during the Flood 'Era' he will get some unnecessary stick.

He was the man who had the drive and ambition that we needed, while we still had the more reserved and sensible Kilby and co. Perfect balance and a massive reason for how and why we are where we are now.

cricketfieldclarets

I believe it’s the case. Strange sacking. Even more strange than the appointment. He’s not done too bad.

Howe would be an excellent shout. But it just seems cursed that club.

cricketfieldclarets

I think someone agrees

I was lucky enough to have been a good friend of Ady, but lost touch, when he moved away. We went out together at least once a week and as the Queen was then my local, we went in there, among other places, as people just didn't bother him for football talk and autographs. He was never drunk in my c...

Fairly sure he was married to a local girl or at least he had a kid with her. She was the sister of a lad that played cricket. One Sunday he turned up at Lowerhouse Cricket Club and a group of kids were playing football. He joined in and it ended with all the kids chasing him round trying to get th...

Hope he’d some left by the time he got home, he lived about three mins walk away from the ground.

Remember Randall although I was only young. But remember him being very highly rated. Was he too good for the level we were at but not commited enough? Heard he liked a pint. Who didn’t?

cricketfieldclarets

So much opportunity at this club. Our location. Our history. Our potential. Our academy. Our manager. Glad we have someone who looks like they see that potential and want to take on the challenge. There’s no guarantees but things look and sound exciting. People need to look beyond the catchment area...
