UTC!
If the team coach drove up there why didn't they just get on the team coach.

Its Dyche playing mind games, "we'll turn when we are ready, not when Uefa tells us." Either that or a protest move for two bizarre ties.

Whilst waiting on the tarmac the team heard the Captain over the radio shouting "this fokker is not going to make it"

I went up to Glasgow early yesterday with work, left Glasgow at 11.10 am, and the Burnley team coach was Northbound on M74, about 25 miles South of Glasgow. I guessed it would contain the players, only media, and support staff etc. But I didn't realise there had been a problem with the plane. UTC

Doing thngs on the cheap. When will they ever learn.
If this had happened to Man Utd Easy Jet would have found another plane almost immediately.

No info from either clubs websites but there must be one later if only from the home club I would have thought.

Nothing too interesting. He mentioned that all the players went home for a few hours yesterday because of the plane problems (said that most of the players live fairly close to Manchester airport anyway) and gave an update on the injury situation.

Throughout the world, the same number of passengers have to be flown and wether by scheduled or chartered it makes no difference; they both use the same aircraft and the same fuel. So, if there were no chartered aircraft, there would have to be more scheduled aircraft. Not hard to understand.
