The Tabby Troubador has an impressive back-catalogue.

The £35 membership gives 1st access to home tickets but only 4th(?) priority period for away games.

You sure about the that?

Right now, Leeds home tickets are only available to:

BFC Extra Membership
BFC Junior Membership
BFC Premium Membership

The cheap one doesn't appear to be included.

I thought he was trying too hard, possibly trying to show the United fans 'look what you're missing'.

Most won't remember him.

People in Burnley are buying them though.

They don't exactly have a choice.

dougcollins

Can I just ask if anyone know when it starts to get busy on the surrounding roads around OT ? I’m driving in and don’t want to get caught out Thanks for any help You used to just about get away with being on the edge of Media City (around the Premier Inn) but it just seems mega busy everywhere now.

dougcollins

Thanks, that's useful.

dougcollins

Being able to pay for privilege is a cornerstone of American society, so we shouldn't be surprised.

But I agree, it's a disgrace in a town like Burnley.

Talksport is the radio version of clickbait. Only interested in the ‘big’ clubs as they define them. I don’t listen anymore for this reason.

Just a load of Chelsea fans, basically.

dougcollins

Not that I'm wanting a ticket for it, but when would the Leeds game be available for non-extra members?

Just so I can try and understand it better.

dougcollins

Sorry, I was looking specifically for the Forest game.

So you couldn't buy any other tickets without an extra membership then? How did that one get through?

Just out of interest, the Forest game doesn't load up any available tickets for me.

dougcollins

I'm a season ticket holder and very rarely have to buy a ticket for home games, but I've had a request from a visiting friend. So I go into the official site, ticket section, signed into my account. It tells me that the only people who can purchase tickets for any upcoming home games is those with a...

Not been impressed with JBL to be honest.

Roberts gives another option.

There were three United players including the scorer just queuing up unmarked

And the guy who headed it is probably their smallest player.

Maybe 3 or 4 goals, but he doesn't seem to hide the fact he's not our biggest fan.

Giving him a job is 'care in the community', to be fair.

That's the third time that's happened from a corner, don't we learn?

dougcollins

Wtf are we doing here.

dougcollins

We're way too open.

Easy balls over the top for them.

Good effort.

Email from the club, and that is copied and pasted from the headline.

Capital 'C'. I was thinking Joe Strummer must have resurrected.

I've always wished it were longer. A song should last at least three minutes.

I think that's the beauty of it, as jdrobbo was alluding to by starting the thread.

I thought the rest of the ground was about as expected. We've had lower than that in early round cup ties, it just didn't use to look as empty because we'd close the jimmy mac upper at least. I'm not sure why we are opening it for those games tbh. The attendance in the cricket field end was beyond ...

He looked awful throughout tbh! Looks like a donkey to me….

On another note, could they be without a manager by the time Saturday comes around?

Crossed my mind too. I really hope they don't sack him before Saturday.

dougcollins

Bloody hell this is awful.

dougcollins

Flemming is taking no-one's place with this performance.

Poor.

dougcollins

I'll get used to the long walk, I've no choice, but it'll never be a 'better' experience.

I'm sure the away fans are loving it.

Making the ground a fortress, with a hostile (passively, of course) atmosphere doesn't start by making the away fans as comfortable as possible.

Morecambe had the best pies, made on site, but someone stole their chef.

Then their club.

Larsen spent a hell of a lot of time in the first half at right back / right wing-back with Walker more right-central. I was watching Walker as he was barking out orders and working with Larsen on their attackers. When Larsen did attack down the right (well - just past the half way line), Walker wa...

dougcollins

We played 451 until Sonne replaced Larsen. Sure, the wingers were tracking back to allow the back 4 to narrow when we were out of possession (just as we always did under Dyche) but it was still a 451. It's perfectly correct to say we switched from 451 to 541 with those changes and there was a notab...

And we were told that absolutely wouldn't happen.

He was probably thinking, "Spot the brain cell" when the fiasco with the lights started.

You always knew that evening light show sequencing would come back to bite us.

Too much showing off.

Did the away fans come in that way ?

I don't know if you're being serious, but yes, the visiting coaches came via the barrier outside the fire station.

It appeared that any driver that mentioned 'Cricket Club' was allowed through without question.

Think we need to have a phone bank, so everybody leaves there phones prior entering the stadium, then picks them up at arranged intervals the following day.

They're pretty useless inside the stadium in any case.

dougcollins

I'd definitely be chucking JBL in, he needs to get fit.

dougcollins

We don’t need any of that ********. All we need is a ref and 2 liners on the pitch making honest decisions, good or bad. Add goal line technology and we’re done. Put the trust in the officials to make decisions and they’ll become better for it. Var has killed the game. Couldn't agree more. Brillian...

Walking down Harry Potts way before/after the game is now far better without the away coaches.

I wouldn't know, I didn't have to walk down Harry Potts Way until Saturday.

We need to buy the cricket club next door and do a re build. I wonder if Alan’s already looked into that.

Al will know that is the most expensive real estate in..er..Burnley.

dougcollins

Ok, all semantics I suppose.

I just know from the look on the guy's face he'd got away with one.

dougcollins

If the commentator was correct, the actual words from VAR were 'full control of the ball'.

That didn't happen.

I struggle to believe this is the case, surely. VAR parameters are determined by The Laws of the Game.

I would like to think so.

Just going by what was said.

I'd say he definitely starts v Derby.

JBL needs to start also, to get his fitness up.

He would have been in control of the ball had Foster not fouled him. Why does he need to be in control of the ball anyway, as Foster didn't touch the ball before making contact with him from behind?

Because that's the VAR parameter.

Foster's goal was correctly disallowed unfortunately

I don't agree.

That defender was never in control of that ball. and was mightily relieved when it was chalked off. He knew.

dougcollins

VAR saying the defender had 'complete control of the ball before being fouled from behind'.

Oh really.

That was a goal.
