ClaretTony; that is much appreciated.

Apparently the live video version on the big screen was changed too once my mate contacted the club; just the 'rush copy' was wrong but they really shouldn't misspell the local surname of a lifelong fan and long-term season ticket holder.

Thanks.

Hopefully you can contact then and they can update in time

Thanks for this wilks_bfc. He's now been in touch with the club so hopefully….

ClaretTony - is that list cut and paste from elsewhere or did you have to re-type it all?

I only ask as I see the name of my mate's late father Donald Hitchen has become, incorrectly, Hitchin, and as such, I hope any similar error isn't repeated on the big screen, etc..

Thanks.

As my Dad was a Bolton Wanderers fan we used to go to Burnden Park in the early 1970s so I remember him playing for them. As described he very much hugged the touchline, which was a dangerous place to be if the full-back ever caught up with him given the substantial sudden drop off to track surround...

Me and StAlbans Claret and our non-Burnley fan mate are having a weekend in Dortmund at the end to the month. We've managed to get tickets for Borussia Dortmund v. SC Freiburg.

….. is against us (sorry if there is already a thread / similar comment).

Fair play to Tony Livesey (again). A very well measured and scripted piece. And very well narrated too; it was only right that someone with a proper accent did that. A truly fantastic tribute to someone who evidently was extremely talented but also wonderfully modest. Very moving. Some great footage...

:P So the advice is 'take earplugs'? Thanks for the info, Sliding, I'll report back on the Manolo situation in due course Excellent.

Not help regarding tickets but certainly 'advice'. Me and some mates went to Valencia some good few years back, and whilst there visited the ground. Unfortunately it was shut and we couldn't even see in (it's so colossal). So we circumnavigated it and then consoled ourselves with a beer in a nearby ...

Years ago, the one and the same Stan Collymore made the same 'argument' on Talkshite or similar. He was (I will grudgingly admit) perhaps playing devil's advocate, but the premise was the same; there are loads of 'big' clubs in the lower divisions who shouldn't be there and should be in the Premier ...

Yes. Certainly me and my mate intend exploring some less-visited parts of 'greater Europe' off the back of this (plus better known ones dependent on the draw and progress).

From our point of view I hope Everton win but only by one nil so that West Brom are still fighting and Everton are relying on a nominal 14 goal swing in the final games......

Have one myself and even though I wasn't (quite) around at the time and it has only been since 1970/71 that I have been a Burnley fan, it gives me lots of joy seeing it and thinking about that night (as fantastically captured in that thread the other day). So I heartily recommend it to all true Clar...

Truly spine-tingling accounts on here. All happened within months of me being born. For a very, very long time it was all down hill from there.

nil_desperandum mentions the hedge down on side of the ground. It is a beech hedge.

Looked, but can't see a thread about this. From the Jam played locally last night. They were truly excellent.

Long Time Lurker - I was merely commenting on the apparent need for someone from Sweden to wear gloves whilst playing for Leeds United in the English Championship in a short-sleeved shirt!

Not a chance unless he can change his namby-pamby ways.

Gloves and a short-sleeved shirt? And he's from Sweden FFS!

Yes, an interesting article (although I read it in the other thread). I was made to feel a little uncomfortable about the fairly blatant 'they don't have non-white players' line.

Until recently the jury was out as far as I was concerned regarding Gareth Southgate. Very easy to form an opinion based on sketchy information, hasty assumptions.

What’s he up to? I’ve just noticed that Mr Turner has created a company under that name, with him as the sole Director.

I know, but all the same, a Premier League club (whatever the tortuous circumstances involving the ground) needs to have proper stewarding.
