It averages out higher than £2m, but I suspect that is as much down to increased number of TV games when higher up the league than anything else?

If we beat Lincoln, which I'm assuming we will, and have given them 3,900, or whatever the capacity of that stand is now, then the next team we play, if it's at ours, will demand that exact same number and will get it. THis will mean that only 17,400 home fans could potentially watch a Cup quarter f...

"Happy hardcore" hahahaha

They sing bloody fast.

Claretforever

Yep. They'll turnover around £12m this season I'd imagine, although we won't see those figures until next year.

It's why we have to keep putting a bit away for a rainy day, because if we were relegated then we'd want to be able to compete at the top end for a few seasons.

Claretforever

The Championship clubs not in receipt of parachute payments wil receive approximately £5.1m per season in solidarity payments now, up from the previous £2.3m.

Claretforever

Finishing mid table is worth an extra £20m, which basically covers Brady and Westwood if we were to finish there. Club's finishing in the top 4 get an extra £40m, plus then the minimum £10m which comes from Vhampions League group stages alone. No wonder they go around throwing £40m+ on players. Rega...

Start messing with words and these efforts never come off.

Stick to the original as much as possible as it's about life, and could be in any old town.

Claretforever

I know it's fishing, but I just want to point something out; we will likely still make a profit this year, whereas Rovers have lost money in all but 4 seasons since Sky invented football. They lived WAY beyond their means, which is nothing like us who are spending money we've earned through promotio...

I've just checked and it was by you

, and I liked it and offered something back. Hahahaha.

Claretforever

That came up as an idea a while ago. I can't remember whether it was on here or the other site, but I liked it then and do now.

Claretforever

Didn't they get fined £8m and their owners wrote off about £170m of debt?

Claretforever

Nobody can argue that Turf Moor in full voice is a sight to behold.... A lot of people also complain about our limited song book. A new "anthem" would go down a treat and I saw a video of FC United singing their version of "Dirty Old Town - The Pogues" which reminded me of a version I posted on her...

Claretforever

He made a poor choice at the time, but a lot was happening and many of his colleagues were disappearing. I wish our fans would look past that now, considering we're 7 years down the line, and all that he did well for us. He was a brilliant player for us, gained us 3 promotions and many great memorie...

Missed this one. Yeah, to this tune then 4x Willies makes absolute sense and fits perfectly. That's how I know the song.

The original. as I remember it. We've got Willie, Willie Morgan, Willie Morgan, On the wing Willie, Willie Morgan, Willie Morgan, on the wing I've heard it from different people down the years (it was before my time), but they all sang it with 4x Willies and then Morgan??

They're very claiming on Facebook that they are entitled to all attend this game because of all the sh*t they've had to put up with. You couldn't make it up. They really do think the entire football world is stupid, and can't see through their bullsh*t. They're not attending because they're crap, th...

We had 14,300 home fans v Bristol City. We are not one round closer to Wembley, plus have a nice interesting tie against a club we don't get to see every season, unlike Bristol City who we played last year, so I can't see much less than 16,000 home fans, so if we're wanting people to bring families ...

I'd love a return of the Willie Morgan song from yesteryear:

We've got Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, Robbie Brady
On the wing

We've got Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, Robbie Brady

Lincoln once had a player named Willie Gamble, who came on as sub in a 4th division game at the Turf when they pasted us 4-1(?). B****rds! Willie got a massive cheer from the Clarets fans when his name was announced. Think it was around 1989?

Claretforever

I took this picture as it flew by me and then hovered around 10 feet above the top of the club shop height, right in the middle of the road.

And an attempt to zoom in for you

Claretforever

Lincoln or Oxford at home would ensure an away sell out and a healthy home crowd, plus possible TV. It would also give us a chance to progress towards the semi final. Blackburn at home would be a decent one for interest and a sell out, but the only club with anything to gain would be Blackburn, as s...

Another one here taking child on for their first game. Been badgering me for a few months, but with it being £5 for kids I thought I'd give it a try. Also just been down and bought an away shirt (£16) and Childs scarf (£10), plus I've been told in no uncertain terms that a hot dog, drink and chocola...

My first season watching burnley was the waddle season and around about Xmas I got a new adidas hoodie and every time I wore it home or away we won. Once I left it in the mini bus and we drew. So the morning of the Plymouth game everyone on the bus was making sure I was wearing it You must have bee...

Claretforever

That's how I remember it. Not every song had to be clapped to. The 'Burnley, Burnley, BURNLEY' chant was slow and meaningful, rather than the rushing through it. 'Jimmy Mullen's Claret & Blue Army' could be sung for 45 minutes in a trance like fashion, and we even got imaginative with that from the ...

I've given this a bit of thought, fleetingly, over a number of years now, and through the frustrations of youth, to a more nonchalant state as I get older I think we must have the fastest singers ("Speed Singers" as some of our fans call them) in the entire Premier League and Football League. Perhap...

Hopefully they clean up the wall nearest the Cricket Field Stand as part of the next stage of development. It's obviously due to age, but it's a mess behind some of the images of the first phase of players. Overall it looks really good, and is a MASSIVE improvement on the previous wall of players wh...

Hi d1sco, don't carers get a free ticket? Only being a pedant with you saying you're a paying customer. Also, I would have thought the designated carer could change from game to game(???), so I'm unsure why the club would contact anyone but the ticket/season ticket holder? We've got money to make ch...

You absolute w****r!

All happened really quickly, but the fact that the player was offside meant he had a head start on Mee, so Mee was always going to be stretching, and was leaning back as the player dropped his head down. The foot wasn't as high as it looked because of this. How many times are we to be robbed late on...

Oh right....like that's never been posted on here before when this situation has occurred.

Anyway, it was a decent gate last night, and I was surprised as I expected about 8-9,000.

As a prem club in form, in a 20,000 seater?

What I did heard around November time was that he doesn't work hard enough in training. That was from a reasonable source who I've had decent information from before. I'd not given that much thought since, but Dean Ashton was talking about Bamford on TalkSPORT this morning, and basically said the sa...

Claretforever

Considering our home form, and the fans have been regularly leaving Turf Moor happy, plus the price freeze, I can only see demand increasing. I think we sold 15,500 for this season?

Claretforever

I think the fact that Barnes has got back up to 100%, and has been a major factor in our results, has led to Bamford going back without getting much of a sniff.

Promote on Twitter using the #TwitterClarets hashtag, as that's what people look for.

I mentioned this before on a previous 'ground redevelopment' thread - I'm certain not much can be done with the BL, due to its close proximity to Brunshaw Rd and the properties directly opposite on Anne Close. Looking at the image you can clearly see that the stand itself could be extended backward...

Claretforever

In my opinion, there is zero sense, financial or otherwise in expanding the capacity of the Turf. These are halcyon days yet the ground has only sold out 3 or 4 times in the past decade, which says that it is already the perfect size for us. We've sold out 5x in the Premier League in 2014/15, 3x in...

It's £5. Just buy the darn thing. If it was a full book about our club and one page was posted that's different, but that one page could be the entire interest of our fan base. Not really fair to post.

Claretforever

No just the roof though. They've also spent money underneath too. I don't think they should consider doing anything unless we stay up for a couple of seasons, but look what happened to Wolves when they spent money on the ground rather than the team. They've now got a ground which is too big for thei...

The stadium capacity is currently 21,401, but we have around 21,930 seats in the stadium. That's why a couple of the recent crowds have gone above the official capacity. I think we are allowed an upward crowd limit of 'x' percent from the official number. I think it's 5%?? The Bob Lord stand has 2,8...

Has anyone got a programme handy from towards the end of that 2008-09 season, and could share a picture of the results page? We seem to have put away attendances in there since around the year 2000, and it would be great to see our away followings in the cups. I seem to recall over 6,100 (did we get...

Can anyone shed any light on what cash reserves we actually have? That article suggests we made 40m net profit in our last PL season. I imagine with the help of the parachute payments and player outgoings last year we broke even or made a small loss, and then again this year what was the quoted amo...

I think all of the other friendlies had 2,000 - 3,000+ on then, Inc the Huddersfield game I mentioned?

No, it will be correct. I went on the game, and we also played Dimano Stavrapol (?) around the same time. Possibly a season either way. I think we played them on FA Cup 2nd round day as we weren't in it? I also recall us playing Huddersfield Town (two divisions above us then) for a similar reason. S...

And that first yellow card at Huddersfield was a farce. Handball in the area giving away a penalty. The only trouble was that it was well outside the area and wasn't handball.

I agree there, Goody. Barring a miracle takeover by a company happy to spend £millions wiping out the debts, and then bankrolling them to the Prem, I think they're going to be a mess for the next 10-15 years, especially if they get relegated this season. I suppose their only realistic hope is that t...

There are outdated views and then there are precious people who want to take some sort of faux moral high ground. If someone had used the term "slanty eyes", or "nip" then it would be seen as offensive. Calling someone a "Jap" is just shortening the word, like has been pointed out above with the use...

I think today would have been more exciting had we drawn Stourbridge or Wycombe. Something a bit different. The last few years we seem to have been drawn against clubs in similar league, which is boring in the earlier rounds.
