Every Claret who was almost hysterical with anger against those of us who were cautious about having foreign owners calling us closet racists,local club for local people and other such tedious insults what do you think now that it's obvious the cash is going to American investors ? No doubt if and ...

For playing football. Mental amount if money.

But if it attracts the paying punter who wants a well polished product over supporting their local team probably worth it.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Article in Telegraph suggesting his wage at City is 370k per week. What you pay for a product I suppose.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Yes we are the only ones who are consistently beaten by the customary 5 goals each time we play them. So much so that it is becoming a joke. Even the bookies offer poor odds for us losing by 5 goals against City. Chin up sure other clubs get beat by the same amount of the other top 6 clubs. Hopeful...

Erm not quite. I seem to recall that other lesser teams similar to us actually turned up and gave City a game.

Over the years we’ve beaten them and drawn with them at this level. Recently they batter us but not going to be the only ones are we?

Steve-Harpers-perm

I'd love it if it meant we change formation and used Dwight centrally. I’m sure it was posted on here by someone who used to watch the youth team that behind the striker was his favoured role. Dyche obviously has always been quite stubborn in his formation (our success will say he’s right) but migh...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Frustration is the key word, but we may have to be patient and hold our nerve until the final hours of the window, it's not ideal I know, and we'd all like signings in before the campaign kicks off, but unlike clubs such as Man City we can't simply throw money around carte blanche. Agree always goi...

Well we won’t be scrapping for points against City. We will simply roll over and get our bellies tickled like we usually do. I will definitely give both City games a miss and do something productive instead.

So like the majority of the rest of the division then!

“One club for all”

“Community club”

It’s a load of rubbish. I hope the extra 600k Pace earns by ripping off people in the poorest part of the country is worth it

You won’t get things like this supporting Man City or Man Utd.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Newcastle, i have done the same and not renewed after 30 years because we are underdogs in every game we play both home and away. Yes we may surprise now and again but the continued lack of investment in the playing staff is embarrassing and they still want the same money off us. Be interested what...

It’s ironic as there are actually people on this board that have done just that.

But no I have decided not to renew my season ticket and just watch on tv.

The irony.

Steve-Harpers-perm

:D you have to buy something to be a customer. You are more like the guy asking a chef to change his menu despite not eating there and when he agrees to change it still won't be eating there. Most certainly. I can honestly say the match day routine and supporting Burnley for me hasn’t really change...

There will be no more incomings and the sooner we all accept it the quicker this thread can be locked and we can look forward to the season.

Thanks for clarifying Alan.

You would have to ask them, but I have cut offs for prices I will pay for things.

So I take it you have a cut off point for away match tickets as well?

Steve-Harpers-perm

You don't understand why raising the prices for tickets in a time when people are struggling for money and are being offered an inferior product in exchange for more money is a problem? The club love people like you. They haven’t raised all the prices though have they? Season tickets were frozen an...

Really don't understand the moaning about ticket price increases. It had to happen eventually, prices have been frozen for years. And season tickets are still great value compared to some of our Premier League counterparts.

What was it Stan Ternent used to say about some Burnley fans!?

True but he’s not a premier league player.

He’s rumoured to be on 6k a week at West Brom. With paying tax in this country I doubt he is a millionaire. Very wealthy but not life changing money.

6k a week?? Course he was!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Pereira won’t be a millionaire not sure why people think he is. However going to Saudi with the tax benefits would mean he and his kids will never have to work again. If someone offered me the chance to do a considerably easier job and after 3-4 years never have to work again I would take it withou...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Steady on, pal. You’ve misinterpreted what I’ve said. Let’s not pretend anyone of us would do any different, (if we were in the position that Pereira is), likely supporting a family back home in Brazil. We’re fortunate that we’ve been born in a first world country, and had the choices where monetar...

Too many batters who are nowhere near good enough for test match level cricket. Test Match Special made the point the majority of them have prepared for a 5 test series by playing various forms of 1 day cricket all summer.

Going to be half empty for the Brighton game. Or half full, depending on your outlook.

Add in the usual mix of season ticket holders being away on summer holidays. Still think be a crowd of 17/18k given how long it’s been since the last competitive game.

There is a name from the past. Didn't he score 2 or 3 in a brief loan spell ?

Not sure just a loan signing that sticks in my mind purely from his name! We seemed to have a glut of loan wingers around the same time.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Heard it was Steve Slawson.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I would say controversial in many fans eyes given the reaction on social media to things such as the supporters clubs, going cashless, the total lack of transfer dealings. I think nearly every fan would like a response to them items rather than him tweeting about radio 1 being near the site. It’s a...

Steve-Harpers-perm

I would like him to be true to his word and communicate regularly Not once at the start of his tenure and then disappear. He has been absolutely knowhere to be seen over the recent controversial changes How regularly? Controversial in your eyes and always to suit your constant negative narrative.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Why say your going to communicate if your not? Similar to when he said Dyche would be backed in January and then again at the start of the summer window. What amount of daily contact would you like? Hourly? What exactly do you want him to communicate at the moment? You do understand there are legal...

Finished with 6 wickets today and a win for Rawtenstall. Superb stuff and celebrations when he got the first wicket today!

You say meagre, but a million is a good chunk back into the pot for the academy. If, and it’s a big expectation, we can get the academy to be self funded, that’d be a great start.

Plus the money we’ll get for Dunnne. As you say be great if can get the academy self funded.
