That Man Utd game could be a messy one, usually makes for a good atmosphere and Utd are always loud

No decision yet on the Luton game
Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
Disappointed with the Forest change as I can’t go now due to work.

Annoyed about Forest. Been there a few times for night matches and feels like every time it is a nightmare to get back from. Always roadworks on the M1 or M62.

Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
Seemed a strange one to me that they didn't move it to the Sunday but then I realised that's going to be the reserve date for the Royal London final so if it rained on the Saturday they would be back with the same problem on the following day.1989_claret wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 10:20 amAnnoyed about Forest.

Booked my flights for city, united, spurs (and taken a gamble on Liverpool as waiting until nearer isn't really an option)
Oh aye
Oh aye
Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
Some Luton fans think it will be moved to Burnley, hence it not being on TV...their first home game would then be west ham....which is on TV

I think it will be moved - likely to be some news during next week I'm told.

Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
Looking at these fixtures changes and the big announcement on Sky Sports News and rolling ticker, it strikes me we are not even featured on Sky Post the Manchester City game which is a bit of a surprise.
Personally that's not a bad thing, it just seems a bit odd given all the hurrah of Vincent Kompany and Football League Champions.
Very disappointing that Nottingham Forest were awarded an home game on the weekend of another sporting event in the city. I seem to remember back in the 90s fixtures being moved for the Nottingham clubs because of the goose fair?? Surely a bit of forward planning would have helped, pretty sure Forest away was a tick box for many Burnley fans this season.

I’m getting married in Italy on the day of the now rearranged Villa game. The game starts at 3pm Italian time and I get married at 5pm. I really didn’t need the additional anxiety that afternoon

Bill Shankly was once asked if it was true that he took his wife Nessie to a match at Accrington on their wedding anniversary. He dismissed it immediately and pointed out that he would never have got married during the football season. He then confirmed it was Nessie's birthday.

Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
A bit naffed off with the Forest game on Monday can't make that because of work but I've been plenty of times, I'll miss the Villa at home game because I'm at the Edinburgh military tattoo and won't get back until 6pm Sunday but that's the Premier league I suppose, probably only about 20% of the games ko at 3pm Saturday

Vincent has said 'no' to the idea of stopping the fixture. He wants to play them when their pitch should be pristine, not in the middle of Winter.

Might not be up to him if their ground isn’t ready. Where else could they play? Another premier league ground?

Bit of a joke that it has to be moved tbh.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 11:18 amI think it will be moved - likely to be some news during next week I'm told.
That means we likely have to travel to Luton midweek, which already isn’t ideal, putting us at a disadvantage compared to the team we then face at the weekend, who probably won’t have a mid-weeker. As well, we will now have a 2 week gap between games as the season starts, which is hardly good for building momentum.
Can’t see Kompany being happy.

I’d prefer that option to the “swap” we had for the Liverpool gameClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 1:36 pmWould be postponed and a new date would then have to be found
I’ve now booked a weekend away for that weekend and swapping it to TM would mean a missed game

Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
No chance of it being played at another ground such as Franchise?
Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
You'd think when fixtures are planned before the start of the season they would try and find out when games might clash with certain dates and events.
But it seems they just go ahead without even looking at what might be taking place elsewhere.

My understanding is that we can veto any plan to move it to Turf Moor.Granny WeatherWax wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 1:25 pmMight not be up to him if their ground isn’t ready. Where else could they play? Another premier league ground?
If it should be moved away from Kenilworth Rd then that would probably be to our advantage. First Premier League fixture at Kenilworth will be a bit of a cauldron I would think.

If it’s postponed then they could rearrange it in the middle of winter? (Against what Leisure says VK wants) Or do we get a say in that.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 1:36 pmWould be postponed and a new date would then have to be found

In other news, just booked trains for Newcastle. £27 with a rail card. Bargain in this day and age.

Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
If it is postponed, the Premier League will want it playing as soon as possible. It would mean a Tuesday or Wednesday night but there are a lot free when the European games are on.Granny WeatherWax wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 2:51 pmIf it’s postponed then they could rearrange it in the middle of winter?

Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
That's a good point we hadn't considered - it was always going to be the case that one of them was scheduled to be at home. Strangely, there isn't a Premier League on TV on the Monday night we now play.bigdavethemaddog wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 3:38 pmdont forget there is also Notts County to consider too as they cant be at home same day as Forest.
Re: ARTICLE: Three fixture changes for Clarets
Re. The Forest fixture, have only just clocked it’s been moved to the Monday (noted due to cricket) & not on TV, despite Sky not having a game on that Monday night. Any idea why that is?
