That site looks to be showing the badge colours, but we have gone with a deeper blue on the shirts in recent seasons, which I personally think is a good move.

Get a grip man

Alright, calm down. Geez, it’s just a few comments with opinions on a message board. People are hardly writing to the club, boycotting Sky or picketing.

Am I the only one that can't see sofas or rubbish (other than in bins) on this back street? https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/download/file.php?id=31313 I was just offering the usual checklist, Aggi. They got the backstreet but used the bins rather than settee. No embarrassment from me, Ril...

But the images aren’t supposed to be about the ‘wider community’ they are supposed to show the big mural they’ve commissioned on a street leading to the ground. These are interspersed with shots of the outside of the Turf and the inside on a match day just like you’d expect. What has the backstreet...

Terraced streets and chimneys are the defining architecture of a town like Burnley. Shock horror, they'll be in a TV show about Burnley. I think you are ever so slightly missing the point being made by myself and several others. Nobody is bothered about a few images of terraced streets or chimneys,...

City play in moss side? Look, I know you missed the images of the Turf in the ones I shared further up, but I did type out “where they were based.” Man City weren’t formed this century. It’s a huge part of their history. I could have stated bin day around Openshaw or Longsight. Either way they didn...

The back street is a half second shot of a video taken around the ground. I agree there are some lovely areas of Burnley, but the area around turf moor isn't one of them. If we had a shiny new ground out in the countryside,and they still showed the back streets then yes, it would be wrong. But how ...

Lovely pictures, but the football club\ground isn't on any of them , and that's what the programe is about Thanks, but they were only a few random examples. Oh, and the football ground is in the bottom right picture. It’s also in the top right but you’d have to look very closely. And it’s not about...

What's wrong with it? I imagine most of us have lived on a terraced street just like that at some point in East Lancashire. I did for years and have absolutely zero embarrassment about it, it was a good place to live. It’s not the fact that it’s normal(ish) for Burnley, it’s the fact that the media...

They could have used music with a connection to the local area in the opening sequence; Chumbawamba, The Milltown Brothers or, better still, The Hollies.

Blackburn’s fans are absolutely delusional. On one hand they talk about the Premier League title as though it’s different than the First Division in terms of status, purely because of a name change, and then on the other hand they hate it when it’s pointed out to them that it was called the Premiers...

I went on Wednesday and Thursday. Had a brilliant time but the best day was the practice day. Got to chat with players, get pics etc. On tournament days they are laser focused and won’t entertain you, plus it’s a little busier.

I thought 500-600 people watching a stream when barely anyone knew it was happening was decent. Fair play to the lad as there was no other way of watching it.

I suppose you can't argue with facts. Blackburn Rovers are the frontrunners. “Rovers must take some beating here,” writes Malcolm. “They won the Football League title in 1911-12 and 1913-14, and the Premier League in 1994-95 (the only town team to have done this), as well as the FA Cup on six occas...

This is a terrible idea. The reason Burnley fans make noise in the Cricket Field is because the away fans are next to them. The appeal of the stand is that both sets of fans bounce off each other with songs. They can both hear each other perfectly, can both abuse each other equally, and there’s a on...

Surely some matches should carry more weight than others. If you are prepared to go to Brighton or Bournemouth away you should get far more loyalty points than say Liverpool or Man U. especially if some of the farther away games then get rearranged for midweek. Basically the less attractive the awa...

Claretforever

A much needed change and the club had to do something. I understand it won’t suit everybody as despite us wanting more fans we all have a little selfish side. Recent loyalty of 5 years will still see those with 5x season tickets (inc Covid year) and having attended a fair amount of away matches will...

Venkys are the only thing keeping Rovers afloat but before we say Rovers fans ought to be grateful we perhaps ought to consider that it's also Venkys who took a pretty successful Premier League club and turned them into this bloated monstrosity that will fold as soon as Venkys go. I think the Walke...

Serveral thoughts spring to mind. Would the existing foundations be strong enough to support that sort of extension? Presumably yes because otherwise they'd not have gone as far with the design. Are the existing exits sufficient for increased capacity? With all the buildings along the front of the ...

The long term attendance data suggests that there is a limit to attendances because of local population and competition. When we won the old First division in the 60s the attendances reached 28,000 but were soon back to closer to 20,000. The reality is that in the one set of data we have ALK reduce...

Plans to increase the size of the Bob Lord, taking the stand back to the original back wall of the old Brunshaw Road stand, in the early 2000’s. Not a second tier, just an extension of what we have now, further back above the current exec areas with is empty space. Not sure the rules on concourse si...

Up to the Cardiff game (There is no figure for that match) the away average last season was 1334 out of about 2200 or thereabouts so that means we had about 1,100 unsold on average for each game last season in the home ends. They sold 1,700 and that was the figure their side were reporting. No sale...

Think I would rather just watch the game to be honest, rather than act like a p****d up or c***d up yob. That’s just me I guess. I’m neither a ****** up or coked up yob as I don’t do the former much at all, and have never done the second. Not everybody who thinks different than yourself has to be s...

Claretforever

Indeed but we didn't sell out the home end often and prior to that we did have a larger capacity and still had the same average support because people didn't have to buy season tickets to get in.. Rovers is a great example, they have average gates as high as 25,000 in the PL because they could sell...

"If you mean evidence we can grow our fanbase, absolutely yes; just look at our ST count, average attendances, etc. I’m sure if you mapped those on to a graph you’d see a steady increase over the last three decades." I'm sure if you spent 2 minutes on Wikipedia it would become self evident that mos...

Simple; the fans have to be noisy, and be horrible to opposing players. You scream at them when they come near to you. You make them not want to go towards the fans to collect a ball for a throw in or a corner. Anything which causes them to lose focus for a minute or two. Be a right set of horrible ...

Sentinel is so easy to use. Pull up, hand your keys in, the bus is almost always waiting outside as they have them on a constant loop and it’s a 2 minutes journey. Same on the way back.

I prefer Leeds Bradford over other airports. Hate Manchester, it’s just too big.

Attendance of 34,004.

Just over 15,000 Stockport fans make up that crowd, and 14,880 Carlisle fans.

The rest must be sponsors.

Muric was definitely suspect in the first third of the season. The final third of the season he was coming for crosses, shouting at his defence and dominating far more. The best keeper we have had in my time was Heaton. Not only did he do the things Muric is now doing, but better, not the passing ob...

I don’t mind the black at all. Everything looked extremely dated, and black is not only neutral, it’s quite fashionable right now. Other colours spring out using black as a background though, so a dash of Claret and Blue would be nice. Too much Claret and Blue wouldn’t look great I don’t think. I wa...

I hope they release it before the July holidays this year. They agree designs and place orders around August/September of the previous year, so whatever the strip looks like it was chosen months ago. And because our sales aren’t big enough (Man U/Arsenal/Liverpool levels), we’ll be choosing from a l...

It felt a lot more packed than 2016, and further up towards the ground before the bus arrived too. I’d have said definitely more than 30,000, but less than 40,000. What the actual figure was is hard to say, but you’d be surprised how many people are actually in crowded areas. Example: 600 Swansea fa...

What we built at the time we built it, and in that I include the Longside terrace and roof, the Bob Lord and Cricket Field developments, plus the 90’s stands, were more than suitable for the time.

The max number of away fans in the Prem is 3000. No, you can offer whatever you like providing you offer the minimum levels. 3,000 is the minimum you HAVE to offer if your ground capacity is 30,000 and above. Most don’t offer more, but they can do. Blackburn used to allow up to 7,600 to away fans f...

The Cricket Field stand won’t continue passing its safety inspection. The roof structure has rusted to an extent that they didn’t dare touch it when they blast cleaned and re coated the stanchions silver back in 2014, instead covering it with banners. It barely passed its inspection a year or two ag...

Good luck driving to Goodison in an hour in 1921.

I was kind of conflicting timelines and thinking about today with the drive. Should have added “close to” to give some wiggle room.

1960 - Maine Road
1973 - Deepdale
2023 - Ewood Park

I wonder if winning so many titles away from home within an hours drive, all in your own county, is some kind of record?

The original is chronologically correct. Yeah I know, you’re totally correct. I tried pushing that point in 2018 and it fell on deaf ears, and the song sounded good anyway. I just figured the closer those two lines are to the original the more chance the song gets going. A bit like muscle memory fo...

Just heard on Talksport that Sheffield Utd will get ~£110M for promotion, Does Burnley get the same amount or more for winning the league?

I have no idea where or why the rumour started that we don’t get parachute payments if we go back up. It’s managed to spread through our fanbase though.
