I’m not sure I believe the article if I’m honest. No names mentioned yet everybody laps it up. How would they know until they found the person in their end with the ticket?

I imagine Blackburn’s strategy is to scare people so they don’t do it.

Nixon is a big baby on Twitter. If anybody dare say anything which goes against his view, and I don’t mean abuse him, he has a meltdown and blocks. Always seems to be late at night from what I’ve seen, when I think he’s had a few sherberts. He has got a few things right to be fair, but I don’t follo...

We seem to have overpaid. If Foster had cost us £1m nobody would be talking about it. The fact we’ve spent what we supposedly have, and in January knowing we were likely to be playing Premier League football next season, seems a bad decision right now.

It’s mad to think that they took the trophy to Middlesbrough v Brighton when we only needed a point at already relegated Charlton.

With goals scored counting of the goal difference was the same Middlesbrough would have needed to win by 3 goals and Brighton by 4 to overtake us, if we only got a point.

With Ched Evans he was never actually accused of rape by the lady from memory, her only claim being that she thought her drink had been spiked. Not 100%, but was it that she remembered consenting to the first guy, but couldn’t remember consenting with Evans? Evans admitted to consensual sex which th...

I think he’ll give a little game time to those players who haven’t quite played enough games for a winners medal yet, but that he wouldn’t have to play in every game. Is it 10 games? If so then Obafemi and Twine might be close?

What is wrong with people? I mean, some would rather put us into a crap run of form, not even attempt to go for the record points haul and risk Sheffield U overtaking us purely for a chance to win the title at Ewood. Imagine going into that in poor form, losing it and losing the title? What a terrib...

Claretforever

Even if we win the title beforehand I hope we save the trophy presentation until Cardiff, take a replica to Ewood and have our players doing a lap of honour with it before the game, at half time and again afterwards

A really enjoyable reply to read that, Chester. “Parachute Payments are about making the Premier League a stronger competition by increasing the ability of promoted teams to enhance and deepen their squads“ That’s what I meant by protecting the Premier League brand. They need clubs to spend and comp...

Claretforever

I’d say it’s more of a Premier League v EFL problem, aside from rich owners here and there. Fans often criticise parachute payments, yet they are part of the deal when you gain promotion. So you are successful, go up and those payments have been earned. You also get them if you go down, and/or when ...

Have I made this up in my mind, or when Bruce Grobbelaar was at his peak did he not used to keep hold of a lot of the shots he dived for? I seemed to recalled him diving for top corner balls and actually holding onto them? Other keepers were probably similar? These days even the shots which seem tam...

I would imagine it’d be more palatable for League Two clubs if the team finishing 22nd goes into the play offs with the National League clubs below 2nd place, like they did in the late 80’s. It would add more drama I think.

I hate VAR with an absolute passion. I also can’t stand referees who fall for feather like touches appearing to have killed a player all over the pitch. That said I’m a fan who wants to see my team playing at the highest possible level. Under VK you never know, maybe we’ll trouble the top 6-7 for a ...

Fulham 21/22 are mentioned in the main image of the article as presumably an example of the best Championship teams ever along with us and Reading, but they "only" got 90 points. 3 less than us both times we got promoted, once in second place to a Leicester team that got 102 points. Going back just...

Think there’s only 10-12 of the long “bench tables” and it’s first come first served

They’ve put some of the tables together now to form longer tables, but there’re more than 10-12 from memory.

Don’t think they’ll be playing on the Turf in the foreseeable future,unless it’s a cup game.

That’s what I meant by competition organiser. FA for the FA Cup, EFL for the League Cup.

Claretforever

I think we should reduce Blackburn’s number to 25% of our away end next time we play them, so around 600.

Yes, I know that may lead to a fine by the competition organiser, but it’d be worth it. We should them keep doing it until they behave.

I don’t agree with a few other posters on here, I think the current walk out music is brilliant. The first time I heard it was against Blackburn and I felt it really built things up nicely. I’d also love to know what it is, and whether it’s two songs they mix in as there’s a lower volume built up, a...

Second tier since 1991/92

Leicester 2013/14: 102
Newcastle 2009/10: 102
Reading 2005/06: 106
Fulham 2000/01: 101
Sunderland 1998/99: 105

It doesn’t happen all too often, and it would be quite an achievement to get to 100 points.

Barnes has been phenomenal since just before the World Cup. The fact this is his last season will mean we have great memories of him following a couple of very average seasons, and he also scored 2 (for now) against the B*****ds. I would not give him another contract though considering we’re going u...

I like it.

I have never liked our current badge. It looks flat, washed out and really cheap. The blue is too pale for me and the yellow is too ‘in your face’, when it’s a very small part of our colours. I would love a rebrand for Burnley.

1) we knew we were in the EFL last May. 2) the club statement doesn’t anything about an administration issue - that description has emerged on this thread ! I think there is general consensus that we will not have breached financial fair play rules. Not aware of any posters who are saying we have. ...

Preston we’re given 7,335 which the police were happy to manage.

The club should refuse tickets. They’re being petty and we should act the same. Refuse tickets which makes it a big deal on Sky Sports, and then ban their fans from any future games at the Turf. They need the money more than we do.

Companies House says our audited accounts are not due until 30th April, and no later than 12 months after the accounting period, so 30th June? So as far as I can see it’s purely an EFL requirement for them to view our accounts for FFP purposes. The period which they wish the view is from us being in...

As per title, the full EFL away followings before this weekends games. Have we ever averaged over 2,000 travellers before in the Championship? Maybe when first promoted to this level in 2000?

This is probably not one of those games where you’re hoping you’re still in it until Benson comes on for the final 20. Probably better starting with Benson, if fit, and trying to get a goal or two. Then bring Tella on late to give them cause for concern. It’ll probably be over by half time anyway. Y...

I messaged the club about this and asked if they could display the line-ups on the massive screens around the outside of the ground. This is due to not being able to get on the internet in/around the ground from at least an hour before KO. No response so far. I’m sure I’ve seen the line up displaye...

That Rotherham game…. I can still hear their fans chanting ‘Jason White White White’ constantly as I think he scored a hat trick. I’d never heard of him before and don’t think I heard about him again. They murdered us. Lincoln was probably different to Wimbledon in that we were a bottom end Premier ...

At the last couple of home games I have been unable to access any mobile data/internet at Turf Moor. I have been on EE for a long time and never used to have any issue.

We should be given the full CFS and put away fans in bottom of Jimmy mac. That’s a terrible suggestion. The reason the Cricket Field Stand works and the atmosphere is so good is that you have two sets of fans side by side goading each other and trying to be louder. The low roof and enclose design o...

Churlinov’s first touch is poor. That’s what I’ve been saying all season and it’s been justified. Tonight though, his touch was much better, albeit against poorer opposition, and his direct play is good. He did extremely well when he came on tonight. We need a couple of our injured players back soon...

A real shame about the sending off. I thought it barely warranted a booking, but would have to see it again. From that point onwards they just wanted to defend to get to penalties.

Oh FFS! That’s us out then. Anti-climax.

Right, because the club loves giving up the revenue that extra ticket sales could generate just because they like the idea of having to provide necessary crowd control Unless you can explain why they would need to cover those two columns of seats when fans are no longer anywhere near each other, th...

You get 1 minute each game just for the sake of it it seems. 4 substitutions were made (2 mins), plus a goal (1 min?), and the injuries to Maatsen (8 mins?) and their left back (2 mins?). Around me we were guessing 10-12minutes. Shocked to see 4 minutes on the board and wondered if they’d missed a d...

Now they’ve extended the gap between fans following the Blackpool trouble, there’s no need to have those 2-3 columns of seats covered up. The fans are nowhere near each other. They’ve also raised the height of the central barrier in the home section which now prevents our fans climbing over easily a...

It’s a sell out unless people don’t renew. I’d imagine there’ll be a few hundred become available in a few weeks. Some effort to sell so quickly though. The last time I think we did that was 2009. Was 16,500 the maximum allowed?

I hate the diving about that has been introduced to us this season. Sure, Barnes has always exaggerated a push, but rolling around like Twine last night was embarrassing. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my time following Burnley. We’re not that kind of club or the type of fans who accept tha...

I'm sure there was also a turnstile on the Longside towards the Cricket Field End for those who wanted to get closer to the front. I remember my brother and his mates from Blackburn St..Mary's used to stand together just above it.

Are you referring to the section behind Bob Lord in this picture?

Whoever starts we have to be up for a battle. Millwall (38%) are only second to Wigan (41%) in the Championship for the percentage of set piece goals. I can’t see this being a pretty game.

Claretforever

Just to point out I always found in our case a team doing well still didn’t seem to put too many extra bums on seats-the team that finished 7th in the prem we hardly sold out. In 2017-18 we had 13 of our 19 league games close to, or above, 21,000. If you go back almost 60 years our crowds when in t...

Huddersfield 18,000 plus is pretty impressive in their circumstances.

By accounts online their fans haven’t been turning up, despite the official gate figure. A problem we had last season in parts.
