BUT....After Season Ticket Holders!

So what's the point?

The £250 one doesn’t say after ST holders. A mistake or possibly controversial?

I wouldn't spend a penny more than we have to on that stand, until we decide if it's going to be replaced within the next 2-5 years ...

The CFS has been being replaced ‘in the next few years’ for the last 25 years. It’ll outlive all of us.

NottsClaret

A great side but that was an utterly joyless occasion. I think I enjoyed every single playoff match more than that.

NottsClaret

Grant Hanley has been 31 for the last 8 or 9 years.

NottsClaret

As ever, it’s not the era that was good, it was being young.

NottsClaret

Century Southern Tower in Tokyo, honestly like staying in the future.

NottsClaret

Now I'm worried about getting a fine for going on the pitch after Plymouth in '98.

NottsClaret

Fantastic for West Ham and this is great competition. Fans of clubs without a nation state backing them can have a realistic chance of a night of European glory.

NottsClaret

That '75/'76 season was a tough one to take and yet still contained some memorable moments, not least the achievement of the great "Uwe" Noble in scoring 9 goals in the first 9 games......He really was special...... ......In fact has any other player, apart from George Beel, a century ago, matched ...

They sound lovely.

Not really - simply saying the way in which they play the game along with the manner in which they win is better than I've ever witnessed Not denying they're the best side in the world, and an incredible match-winning machine. But it was pretty funny that their goals on Saturday came from a textboo...

NottsClaret

Was torn between West ham away and Spurs away, went for the Spurs away goal. His goal at Spurs is an absolute stunner. Probably go for that. Strangely, if it was based purely on emotion, I'd actually have gone for his winner v Palace over Blackburn or Wigan. Never celebrated a goal like it on the T...

Still seems weird that Carlo Ancelotti managed Everton.

NottsClaret

Mad that everyone who has played and watched football, from us chumps to the pros in the studio, knows it should never be a penalty but that it was 100% a penalty.

The decision to give Casemiro a free kick when he was lucky to stay on the pitch was probably worse.

NottsClaret

It’ll happen eventually. Football only really cares about money. If a women comes along who can get you results - and more cash - then they’ll get offers.

Jesse Lingard released by Forest and available on a free.

I'd guess it'll be someone like QPR or Birmingham next for him.

NottsClaret

I guess City will win both games and the treble, probably playing some utterly brilliant football along the way. And absolutely nobody will give a toss.

It'll be as enthralling as Celtic winning a domestic treble.

NottsClaret

To follow on from this, the only thing you shouldn't ignore is a court summons, that's when people get into trouble, i.e. not turning up for court and having a CCJ issued due to their absence. As I said before, even if you turn up and lose, which you rarely will if you're prepared (judges often don...

And you seemed so pleased this morning CT that you were going to be able to watch it for free

I watched it for free and felt short-changed.

NottsClaret

Great story and well done Agent Claret.

NottsClaret

It won't go away, though. It doesn't matter what barriers are put in place, tech will always find a way. The cat is out of the bag, and it's time the industry caught up. Like I said, people had largely stopped paying for music because they could get it for free from the likes of Kazaa or torrents. ...

NottsClaret

It’s illegal but not unwise.

NottsClaret

Just two players kicking each other by accident. Not a penalty, play on. Sending off was a bit harsh.

NottsClaret

Watched it in deepest South Yorkshire.. very entertaining. Barnsley fans took it well, Wednesday fans obviously delighted. Barnsley deserved more on the day but over the season it’s probably fair. I reckon Duff will take them up next year, some right basket cases gone down from the Championship.

NottsClaret

They’d have been better off with Warnock, he’s actually still got it.

I occasionally ref their reserves

It’s a great little club isn’t it? Churned out some top players too.

NottsClaret

Really good achievement that from Dyche, pleased for him. But Everton being Everton, they’ll sack him, look for a bigger ‘name’ and be back here again next season.

NottsClaret

A 13 year old me is strangely happy about Stockport losing there.

NottsClaret

I think there’s loads go on non-league when not at the Turf. Penistone Church for me, really enjoy it. Got into it during Covid when they were allowed to play on and go quite a bit now.

NottsClaret

It drained me. I remember after the game at the end of Wembley Way the police were holding back hundreds of Burnley Fans. I looked around and nearly everyone was really quite quiet. A copper said, what's wrong with you lot you would think you had just lost. Pretty sure everyone was exhausted physic...

NottsClaret

Enjoyed the whole day until Wade scored, then hated every second until the final whistle. I did feel for those fans there today when it went to pens.

I'd rather have grounds like Kenilworth Road in the Prem than bowls like the King Power and Coventry's.

100%. Plus their playing style will cause a few problems, good to have some variety in the top flight.

NottsClaret

Luton are really good at what they do.

NottsClaret

Seemed to fall over whilst backpedaling. Was conscious, so presumably a leg injury rather than something more sinister. Hope he’s ok. That’s what I thought, could be a nasty ankle or ACL thing. We get so used to players rolling around you forget that when you’re seriously hurt you just lie still. A...

There’s a lot of Wednesday support in areas that fall under Barnsley. Always been a huge club round here.

NottsClaret

Not surprised by Wednesday, could probably sell loads more. Good effort from Barnsley too, it’s not a cheap day out.

At the risk of becoming one of those attendance weirdos, it shows how great Burnley’s support is from a small town.

NottsClaret

This forum comes into its own in summer. Feels like the football kills the vibe a bit.

NottsClaret

Isn’t our whole thing being a successful small club? Being a ‘big’ club is something for fans of failing teams to fall back on.

NottsClaret

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, it's possible he just doesn't understand averages.

After the comments made by Pep yesterday, they would be crazy to appoint anyone other than De Zerbi. He was very full in his praise and admiration.

Isn't that just because they're playing them next? He always does that, even if it's Bristol City in the cup for something.

NottsClaret

I guess the problem City have is that as they tend to win every trophy going, the pool of 'winners' elsewhere is getting smaller. Must be tough.

Remind me, where did he put the ball again?

Also, it's the only name I think of with that song, although we try to shoehorn others into it. Always going to be 'Super Scotty Arfield'.

Bit like 'Jimmy Mullen' is the only rightful owner of the 'Claret and Blue army'.

NottsClaret

Quite the career he's had since being released by Huddersfield Town.

NottsClaret

He got more appearances this season for Birmingham than he did in any season for us in 12 years. And he only joined them in January.

NottsClaret

There'll be some accountant in Saudi now trying to work out how to get signing Mbappe through the FFP regulations.

NottsClaret

I think there's a good argument for picking the Blackburn performance on merit, and not just because it was them. As has been said, they were also going top with a win and we'd been battered the week before. Pressure, expectant crowd, Jay Rod injured.. there's a lot could have gone wrong there. But ...

NottsClaret

City are the best side in the world, have taken their (Pep's) style of football to a precision engineered art form and the whole thing leaves me entirely cold. Can't say I dislike them at all. The players seems nice enough chaps. Their fans are either once long-suffering types or harmless tourists. ...

NottsClaret

Muric is excellent. Full stop. Will be sold for twice what Pope was. If you want to play as we do it is more important to be a ball player than an amazing shot stopper. Just rewatch the Coty game to see how it doesn’t work without a sweeper keeper. It is why the likes of Hart and Pope will never be...

NottsClaret

Exactly my choice too. 34 years after I first heard it, I still get goosebumps when I hear that opening bassline I know what you mean, bit of a cliche picking the Roses but still takes me back to being a teenager every time I hear it rumbling in. Other openers which set the tone, maybe Turn the Pag...

The Barnsley v Wednesday game at Oakwell was one of the games of the season, hopefully the final is similar. Bolton were absolutely awful tonight. Like they were playing for penalties but didn’t realise they were losing.
