Maybe they should have gone for black and white seats in the James Hargreaves Lower. New claret and blue will look like a crap attempt to fit in with the tired looking 20 year old ones of the upper tier and Jimmy Mc. To be fair the seats in the top tier are not sun damaged and I suspect the good se...

In think trying to match the colours of tired 20 year old cladding would make it look like a crap attempt to making it fit in. I think the new design looks ok so far.

Former loan player Gareth Farrelly has been appointed as The Court of Arbitration for Sport. Quite the opposite to his Bolton teammate Delroy Facey, who came to Burnley with him http://fcbusiness.co.uk/news/gareth-farrelly-appointed-by-the-court-of-arbitration-for-sport/?fbclid=IwAR36IwFjtG7Ni11TlcZ...

Don’t tell him the team played 11 v 11 in training yesterday. He might spiral into depression because he’s already missed the first game of the season.

With Pope and Hart as suitable backup? Do you not think we can afford to sell Heaton?

So what are our thoughts on the squad, what else do we need and are we happy with the business so far?

Born in Rossendale, one of the last to be born in the general hospital, I'm lead to believe. I had an argument with a Burnley fan once. It went like this - hypothetically, if Burnley Football Club moved to a stadium outside the town, it wouldn't bother me. In fact, if the club moved into Rawtenstall...

Every time he got the ball you expected something fantastic to happen. An absolutely brilliant talent. I feel a bit sorry for him in a way, because I think playing for Burnley probably held him back. I know he went onto play for Bolton and Reading in the Premier League, but it was probably a couple...

I went in the ticket office for a nosy too and it is very similar to what we used to have but there are more terminals for when it is busy. The way technology is moving on, having a large ticket office will be a bit pointless probably, with most most purchases being done online. I’d imagine in 10 y...

The thinner seats increate the capacity slightly too. They'll be the same size as the other plastic seats in the rest of the stadium, I'd imagine.

£10 - £15m. I think thats the going rate of a mediocre Premier League quality player these days. You can get cheaper from a lower league sides, but but they need developing for at least 12 months.

Some of those painted seats soon began to look tired... when were they painted, just 3 years ago or something?

With Wood wearing 9, it would've been nice to see McNeil with the number 11 shirt.

The Longside corner is pretty much done, I'm not sure why all the fencing is still around the outside of it though. Maybe the pathways and tarmac needs laying down or something?

If we were sponsored by Ladbrokes, William Hill or Coral, no one would really care. It’s because it’s got that foreign muck on the front.

Like a lot of Burnley fans we decided to go last minute. I remember the decision spontaneously being made while we were having tea. 3-1 up and the rain clouds came rolling in.

Burnley have told defender Ben Gibson that he can leave the club this summer. Premier League newcomers Aston Villa and Sheffield United are among a group of clubs interested in a £15m move for the 26-year-old Englishman. (Teamtalk)

Who’s going to spend £15m on a player who hasn’t played in 12 months after an injury? Get him fit ready for when we sell Tarkowski and have the next one ready on the production line.

He is 35 in July and well known to Tony Mowbray and could do very well for Rovers. He was not available for quite a while last season at Middlesbrough, in spite of Tony Pulis wanting to use him.
