Re: Season tickets next season

People moaning about us being unable to compete in the Premier league then moaning about a ticket price increase by the 19th (out of 20) least expensive STs in the PL need to take a look at themselves. I know most people aren't in both camps but a number are. I know times are tough financially for m...

Sheff United's next game is away to us, a real 6 pointer given that, should we win our 2 games in hand, we would only be 1 point behind them going into that match.

As for the prices for a burnley fc twix next season, you'll probably need a bank loan.
You can purchase cheaper Twixes elsewhere and just take them with you. I can honestly say I have never bought a Twix on Turf Moor, or any other ground tbh.

Re: Season tickets next season

My Cricketfield Stand over 65s ticket has only increased from the current £240 to £260 next season, which is an 8.3% increase. Sounds like pretty good value to me given I will be getting 8.6% increases in my State and NHS pensions next month.

Re: Truro City - fixture congestion and ground (pitch) problems

I played for Truro City for 1 season in the 1980s then dropped down a league the following season due to the inordinate amount of travel time for fixtures in the, at that time, South Western League. Setting off for games at 8am and getting home in the late evening wasn't my idea of fun.

Why couldn’t the payments be split over 12 months like they currently are?

If they decided to do 12 payments then they would be sho...

Re: against the run of play

And even when we do equalise it is ruled out for a marginal free-kick call instead of the usual 'Let's see what VAR say' attitude from the ref. Then there is a penalty shout after, to be fair, minimal contact, that isn't given despite similar contact being seen as enough to chalk off Cullen's goal.
