To me there are certain types of “associated products” a business should/could sell which ultimately reflects their customer base. You wouldn’t expect a kitchen company for example trying to flog you a pension. It unnerves me at times when I see things like footy clubs selling for example credit ca...

I do think it's both concerning and by design that it's being marketed at people who don't understand what it is, too. Not sure on the morals of that.

Certainly not like a monzo/Starling account. The first banner on the uphold website reads " Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 minutes to learn more " Such a b...

What crypto product are we promoting? Do you mean the Uphold card? I thought this was more like the Monzo/Starling cards that you preload to use on holiday On the face of it, that is what it looks like, and it feels very much deliberate on their part. The reality, however seems to be that much, if ...

What is the issue with it? I have no idea about anything crypto other than the basics.

That, imo, is the very root of the problem. Our typical supporter will be of a similar level of understanding, i suspect.

This is true but i do think we have the players in the squad to do it, especially at Champ level. The problem has been weve gone to a proper 5 at the back when in front so the mentality has clearly switched to defense mode. Its an example of something being a good idea on paper but the psychology o...

For such an esteem contributor to the life of Burnley FC, I find that behaviour, you are enduring, unfathomable. What kind of people are running our club nowadays? Hard nose capitalists. Which i don't mind, if it is competent. There does remain, however, a whiff of the old "make it up as they go al...

Hope we get a foreign team for a match at the Turf. Disappointed we didn't get a single home friendly last season.

I think they might be bedding a new pitch in, and some stand works, so i wouldn't be surprised to see no home games this pre-season either tbh

I don't personally admire him, there was a lot of talk of him moving to us on loan at one point and fighting for his place at city. But turned us down for a big paycheck.

.....in our shadow regardless of which leagues we are in next season

Part of me hopes they aren't actually relegated next year. They aren't likely to improve given the funding issues, and so we could absolutely batter them home and away.

Then they can go down, and down, and down

Its baffling to me, that with us being devoid of fullbacks that Kompany rates at several times, why we haven't really played with a back 3. Our stock of centre backs, several of whom are right or left leaning, but not sufficiently to be good fullbacks, should in theory make that arguably one of our ...

Lot of admiration for Cole Palmer for having the gumption to move to prove himself. He could have happily sayt waiting in Manchester.

Man United should have gone for him really, instead of the Antony type, but not sure he'd have made that particular move.

We assume they intend to continue to offer Direct Debit. Maybe they like the idea of all the money up front. Someone might need to let them know how Credit Card companies tend to stagger payout for Season Ticket money

I’d heard the rumour about Castore. I hope it’s not true as the quality is poor and expensive. Wolves, Newcastle and Villa have all ditched them ahead of next season mainly due to quality issues.

Maybe we got a deal on the Villa ones they already ordered before they applied the badges

Amazed that has never transpired in some form or other. Seems a massive missed opportunities for both parties.

There was the somewhat half arsed attempt to base the women's team there, but if we were there with enough clout, it could work well.

ŽižkovClaret

Could be a lot to be said for a strategic partnership between us and accy. They get a few of our u23s, use of the training ground, a better pitch installed at theirs, and we make their ground our u23 and women's ground.

Most of the slop that gets served up as donner has never seen premium cuts of meat. Anything can & does taste good when you've had a skinful.

Aye, but for me, Lamb needs to be minced and spiced, like koftas, good doner etc. Its too fatty as a meat otherwise.
