This is on Local Cricketer’s shoulders now.... called em a shambles and brought them a 130 run partnership.....

Ban him!

Granny WeatherWax

Need to split this Carey/Maxwell partnership it's becoming dangerous now. They've both had a life though, Carey off the no ball, and Maxwell edging behind and England not reviewing, hope we don't come to regret those missed chances. 135 needed off 18, a wicket or two and that will be tough, but if ...

Don't see why your bothered then if it doesn't apply to you.

What, isn’t that what you were suggesting? Cash is king etc.

Resorting to call someone a kid when you’ve been owned

Whats a fair solution then? If I'm picked out of the ballot does that mean my children are entitled to attend? If yes thats not fair on 3 other supporters whos names could've been picked out.

No kids are allowed as their season tickets are too cheap.

It will be equal.

Just those with more points will be more equal than those with less...

We will see but I suspect it won’t be based on points.

Gents, don't worry you'll both get your money back and both get a ticket in the raffle.

I’m not worried, I just think it should be done with equal chance for all cos I’m not selfish.

Prove it.

Cash not king anymore?

I don’t need to prove anything, it was an example, although I very much suspect I have.

In business cash is king yes, but it’s not a way to decide who gets a ticket.

Granny WeatherWax

I've paid for my ticket upfront. Why should somebody who hasn't be in front of me? Remember 'cash is king' first come first served. I’ve more loyalty points that you so let’s do it like that then eh. Er no as that’s not fair either. All season ticket holders need to be given equal chance of going.

Granny WeatherWax

That's a great idea and the fairest way. ST holders who have paid in full = Priority. Then maybe a ballot like previously said by another poster. How is that fair? You really are talking some nonsense today. A season ticket holder is a season ticket holder regardless on how they choose to pay. Also...

I wouldn't close any of those. You don't need to fly to a theatre or nightclub, they should all be running as normal.
If an elderly person with underlying health conditions decides to go to a night club then its at his own risk.

And the most nonsensical post of the day goes too......

What a wonderful ball from Root.

Should be over 300 now. Superb after the start we had.

So you suggest a ballot? So what do you suggest if my 10 year old daughter gets picked out and I dont?

All tickets registered at same address would be 1 ‘lot’ in the ballot.

Anyway what’s that got to do with age discrimination ?

Granny WeatherWax

Saw that earlier. Brilliant. Sums up what most of us are feeling.

70s and 80s?

Up to them, not BFCs job to play god.

And the virus has affected people with underlying health conditions, might be plenty of 70 & 80 year olds who don’t have any.

Ballot system and let people decide if they want the ticket is the fairest way.

Granny WeatherWax

Certain age groups are at a higher risk of infection. So its not about asking people about their health. Wouldnt be hard to rule them within that age bracket out. i know 60 year olds who are fitter than some 30 year olds. not gonna happen, people need to decide for themselves whether they are comfo...

Less likely to pass on the virus by driving there in your own vehicle and parking close to ground than walking further amongst others even though you live nearer.

Correct.

Granny WeatherWax

I'm just wondering how they'll sort it... a lot of phone calls I expect. And it would be sensible to leave people out who are more at risk. People won't like it, but common sense prevails. People dont need to shield anymore, so its up to them whether they want to risk going to the turf, its not up ...

Why?

Is that a serious question? For one, as if the club are going to start asking people about their health.

I suspect it will be done either on a ballot system, or by using the loyalty point system, or a combo of both.

You'd expect so. And as a poster put, people who live close to the ground, with no health issues.

not a chance tickets will be allocated based on proximity to ground / health issues

If you're generating taxable revenue, you can do it. If not, you can't. Couldn't be much simpler.

Or killing grouse and foxes for bants.

Granny WeatherWax

Exactly my thoughts. There will be no social distancing whatsoever outside the grounds. No chance, showed as much when the sky cameras were at the Brighton vs Chelsea friendly which was a test event. Also the fans coming off the ground said there was little chance of social distancing in the concou...

You would think that these 2 need to stay in for at least another 15 overs to have the chance of posting a decent total

Granny WeatherWax

I know some fans will enjoy going back but I fail to see any benefits. It will cost clubs to host these with more stewards needed etc Maybe 15k in gate receipts? No kiosks open? But it doesn't prove we can get back to full crowds and the government will pull the plug if cases rise in the area anyho...

Granny WeatherWax

Not saying its not needed as the EFL clubs must be really struggling, however there is so much conflicting stuff from government, cant meet my family in my garden but can go to the toilet at half time with strangers at the footie.

No wonder a large % of people arent bothering with the rules anymore.

Granny WeatherWax

I paid for it earlier, nice and simple process. looking forward to it.

Granny WeatherWax

Risk of keep extending it is that you create moral hazard with people thinking that whatever happens the government will always come to the rescue. The situation we find ourselves in is very unfortunate but it can’t be pain free. The cost of propping up the economy now will be paid for by those in ...

Granny WeatherWax

Ouch!

Granny WeatherWax

Yes For those saying that some sectors still can't open, I narrow it down to foreign tourist companies and the Air services that support them. I think the problem of lockdown has been misread from the offset, as the government has twisted and turned to appease the media. They should have stuck with...

Granny WeatherWax

Yes. I was told I was still on furlough after I’d returned for 2 months. They’ve took me off now. They told me as they thought it was quite funny. In some bizarre way. I’m against it obviously. There’s a few more things gone on recently too, but it could be pretty dumb to tell them to stick their j...

Yes. I was back for 2 months full time whilst still on “furlough”. I’m in 2 minds what to do at the minute tbh.

As in - your employer was falsifying furlough claims?

Granny WeatherWax

Needs to change to targeted support, some sectors still cant open, what are they meant to do if it ends.

But like what has happened at Bournemouth, some won't want to stay.

Also, we always bet the ranch in the Championship.

We won’t need to bet the ranch if we prepare properly now.....

I think we can forget about Quaison from what I have been told, looking less and less likely.

Granny WeatherWax

Isn't this Quaison lad a striker? If we're close to signing him it makes sense that Vydra would be off as we wouldnt need 5 strikers on the books. More to the point, Vydra probably wants regular first team football, which he won't get here. Attacking midfielder I think. Not sure thats likely anymor...

Granny WeatherWax

If Dyche thinks one of the young strikers is good enough to make it it might make sense to get Vydra out on loan.

Or you can neglect to carry out servicing, leave the vehicle as it is and save the money in the bank, ready f...

I was talking about the second sentence. He’s asking why players would want to leave as we’re a top ten Premier League club with a great dressing room atmosphere (presumably).

I was referring to the first bit.

Nail on head for me. Last time I read Garlick was worth 80m. That's HIS worth, not what he has in his bank. He could with a sale of the club double that over night, and that would be in his bank. Of course I dont expect anyone to put their money into the club, although as supporters we do put a ste...

And from a number of apparently financially savvy posters on here, the way that accounts are presented and the club is positioned, that is the direction he is heading.

He doesn't take a wage, none of the directors do. The only real way he'll make money out of Burnley FC is by selling the club when the price is high.
