That's absolutely spot on - last increase was back in 2017 and they have kept them at the same for next season. They also provide free coach transport to every away game.

2007?

You are way off the mark here. I don’t dislike Trafford and I have never said anything abusive about him on this board unlike some other posters. I just don’t think he is a very good goalkeeper at present and our manager has made a massive error of judgement in keeping him in the side up until the ...

For instance they only have one General Hospital.

Is it a good general hospital? The question would arise, is it better to live 50 miles away from your hospital but it's a good one, or to live in the East Lancashire Hospital Trust area?

The James Trafford appreciation society must have been absolutely creaming themselves when this news broke. I think that to sneer at people because they happen to support a current Burnley player is poor form. Maybe you don't llke one or more of the players representing our club, but even so, don't...

How much does it roughly cost to have an artificial pitch installed? With the weather getting more extreme it seems to be becoming more of a problem for non league clubs. Would make sense for some of the tv money in the game to be siphoned down the leagues for that purpose I doubt the increase in p...

Colne are the same. 11 league games and a cup semi-final to play, Mon-Wed-Sat-Mon-Wed-Sat-Mon-Wed-Sat-Tue-Thur-Sat. Don't know where the possible cup final might fit in!

When you say "only in America", I take it that you haven't read the bit about it being a Scandinavian tradition since the 1800's?

Are you sure about that? Never heard that before.

It's normal tax rules. If you make a contract to supply any service, the taxable income is based on when the service is provided, not when you raise the invoice or get the cash.

They might be waiting until the new tax year to do a tax write off or something. If they get a load of income they’ll have to pay tax on it before the deadline. That’s assuming they use the normal tax schedule. Any money that comes in re. next season won't be taxable until next season. It makes no ...

Completely agree that she needs privacy. Let's hope that this also extends to her life when she's recovered. Can't have it both ways surely. Surely you can have it both ways?

"Follow Blackpool Home and Away" is a good clue as to the opponents and ground, unless it's a massive trick question. As for the players, I'll start with number 7 - either Brian Flynn, or the mascot forgot to leave the pitch.

As for the point about it’s better for royal family to be “head of state” than some of the PMs we have had. Whilst in theory this may be ideologically correct - in practice the head of state is powerless in terms of any decisions that matter. The PM is effectively the head of state - their powers a...

People who make up these “tables if VAR worked” seem to forget to include decisions where it went for us such as WHU away. Edit - in fact did it even get used for that penalty they should have had at the end? Yes, it was used, an in accordance with the current rules of handball the penalty was not ...

Can see edit, we played them the following season and relieved them of Ian Helliwell. Think their fortunes changed that season when palmer was manager and they were down by March. Actually I've just checked the league tables, and was amazed to find that after winning at Wembley in 1994, we obviousl...

And I was there at Wembley when we beat Stockport in the play off final ..both teams fortunes changed that day

I'm not sure Stockport's fortunes changed that day. Didn't they get promoted the following season?

[Edit] No, it was three seasons later. But the slump came well after Wembley.

dsr

I think scraped a win is very harsh on us. Their penalty shout is irrelevant since they scored immediately after anyway and to say you wouldn't have known we were against 10 men for the majority is beyond me. We dominated the vast majority of the game and only came under pressure at the end when th...

It was banned because players were taking their shirts off to show political and other slogans. Instead of getting excited about whether or not it should be banned, why not explain to the managers what the rules are, and let them give their players detailed instruction in how not to take their shirt...

What is the contingency for the technology not working and how the ref not having access to the images? Does the decision fall to the VAR official? Good question. Is the ref allowed to give a penalty on the say-so of the VAR man, if he hasn't seen the pictures? He could have done when it started - ...

I'm sorry you might need to refresh my memory because I don't recall saying that muric made us a much better side I said his impact was marginally better a slight incremental improvement. Yes if any of the 3 sides mentioned are reduced to 10 men it's possible to compare against 11 that's different ...

dsr

I'm more referring to incidents resulting in goals being conceded. It's pretty much acknowledged now that muric is the better keeper overall so it's not unreasonable to suggest had he started earlier our points tally would be slightly higher. Yesterday was no coincidence our fortunes changed for th...

I've missed what you're on about, but if that's that's your only considered response I'll add you my "div, niff noff" list if you like 😉 He's called James Trafford, not John. As for the rest, I'm not convinced that passing gets harder when the opposition are a man short. After all, if they do bring...

He’s impeded an opponent with contact. There’s no mention in Rule 13 of the need for “intent”. A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: It's clear that...

dsr

so a guy can be back peddling, inadvertently knock into someone inside the box and a penalty be awarded and no red is given but outside the box it's a red card - that's the issue I have, it's ridiculous. It should be the same punishment regardless of where it is on the pitch and to send someone off...

Does anyone remember that pinged cross out to Charlie on the touchline that was clear half the length of the pitch? Can any other keeper in the league pass like that? Yes. Against Bournemouth in the first half, Trafford played three passes like that to the right wing, before Bournemouth tightened t...

There is no way Muric would have come off his line in such a timid way like Trafford did in the dying minutes against Luton … I get it .. Trafford was fouled when you look at it but he gave the referee a decision to make .. Muric would have took the ball and the Luton player clean out if need be .....

It is but what happens in the future you can look back at the past.

I use Lee Dixon commentaries to help me nod off when I have trouble sleeping. I wish they would bring him back, then. A commentator understated enough to sleep through? I wish.

Should Brentford have had a penalty as their manager insisted and former Brighton centre forward Murray said it was a clear penalty to him The reason I wouldn't give it (apart from obvious bias) is that their man had hold of Fofana until the moment the kick was taken, and he had hold of Fofana as h...

dsr

Just to clarify. 1. The VAR official looked at the foul and decided it was a penalty, and was so confident that he advised the ref to stop play. 2. The ref then went to the screen to have a look for himself, as is normal. 3. The VAR man looked at the offside, which took a long time. The ref isn't in...

You''re wrong actually. Using pathetic insults doesn't make your point seem more valid or mature - quite the reverse.

I’m amazed how people can’t see how much better the team is with Muric in goal … Forget super saves .. the confidence it brings the defence to know he is there and his distribution is miles better .. Muric looks like a premier league keeper and Trafford looks like a young keeper learning his trade ...

I know it's completely & utterly wrong to question when we are almost dead & buried why we've suddenly reinstalled a goalkeeper who's been instrumental in gaining us 3 precious points & thinking could have things been so much different had he started the season & on today's showing that's a yes far...

The team looked night and day better against 10 men of Brentford than they did against 11 men of Arsenal. Whether that is totally down to Muric, or whether other factors are involved, is open to debate. ;) Muric played well today, but I am far from convinced that playing like we did today would have...

It has never been a back pass if you use your knee, except under the Brian Laws amendment. Laws was playing for Forest in pre-season, I believe, and he had the ball at his feet and knelt down and "kneed" it to the keeper. They changed the law to make it illegal to artificially subvent the knee rule,...

I do accept it's possible we're getting somewhat het up on here rather prematurely without actually knowing the facts regarding pricing etc, but let's be honest, history tells us that "early bird" pricing is regularly out there by now and this year it's not, which seems a bit odd. Plus how early is...

Lets face it, the best thing that can happen in this situation is Trafford gets sold over the summer. Sell at a loss, needs must.

Is there no legal requirement to give those on direct debit a certain amount of time to decide what they're doing or cancel? Probably not in this case because each season is a new contract.

I wonder how much we’ve made on him to date and if there’ll be a host of clubs after his signature in the Summer. Other people have a much higher opinion of him than people on here.

The truth is nobody really knows (apart from a handful of people) on a 100% sure basis if his contract states that he must start. There's been other examples but usually it's just appearances based. On the face of it nobody wants to explore the possibility (or believe) that our managers made a mist...

I've read that Harry Kewell had a clause in his Liverpool contract that he would start in all major finals and, perhaps surprisingly, started the 2005 Champions League final.

Of course you cannot literally physically force somebody/anybody to do things they don't want to do but the methods of enforcement aren't so extreme. When that usually happens the player wants to go somewhere else & is agitating for a move but if the club stand firm no other club can legally sign t...

He's under employment he's contracted. If what you are saying is correct no need would exist for all the clauses & contract conditions that exist. Totally the opposite.

Why wouldn't it be enforceable? If that condition was agreed to prior to him signing it's perfectly enforceable & if he doesn't get selected to start the terms of the contract are breached. It probably wouldn't be enforceable because contracts for personal services can't be enforced. I think it wil...
