I was pretty sure that we would take all 3,000 tickets for this game but obviously I was wrong!

How about inverting the full backs, using a double pivot and two 6’s, an 8, a false 9, 2 tens and a 9.5?

Who was it who said..."Football is a simple game"..??

Personally I think every step we take towards being a ‘cookie cutter’ club moves us away from being Burnley. I like the interviewers we have with local accents. I dont think its the accent that is the problem, I think its more the type of questions which are asked and also how they are asked. This ...

When I was a lad we'd be heading to Squires Gate holiday camp and be chuffed about it. I remember queuing for the train at Burnley Central carrying my bucket and spade. Burnley Wakes weeks, was it first 2 weeks in July? Everyone went to Blackpool on the train when we were kids, if you were lucky yo...

A new striker, Fleming, Barnes, someone from the youth team, Bertie Bee.

Yes I'm sure we will be ok in the Premier League with that strike force, particularly with Bertie Bee being an unknown quantity for opposing defenders!

Sure the vape shops and pound shops will still be ok

How about the pubs/bars, clubs, chip shops, sandwich bars, corner shops etc.

I bet they would be affected?

Sorry for stepping in, I thought it was a public forum?! But yes, we should secure another striker before we send one out on loan. I doubt we’ll loan Foster out anyway as he will still be seen as an adequate squad option.

You only thought it was a public forum??

We should move out of town to a purpose built location

How destructive would that be to town centre businesses!

Flemming has played as a centre forward for us since signing so I don’t really know what people are on about when they say he’s not a striker. As for who do we turn to, I’d like to think we are looking to sign at least one centre forward this summer. Well first of all you stepped in and gave an ans...

It’s obviously Flemming from our current squad.

All season in the Championship many posters on here were saying that Flemming wasn't a striker?

Ok lets say Foster does go out on loan and Flemming gets injured, where do we turn then?

A strange signing at the time considering the decent fee we paid, and hasn’t been anywhere near the level we need.

Ship out on loan this year, and take it from there.

Who would you play in his place as a striker?

Proven in what respect?

He was just ok in one of the worst premier league sides ever.

Seems a very weird signing. I just can’t see any starting eleven where he starts for us.

Well you are the expert on everything Burnley, despite never going down the road to Turf Moor!

Some communication on this from the Club wouldn't have gone amiss!

Do you think that they intentionally keep fans in the dark or do they feel that relaying information to supporters isn't a priority?

Targetman

I recall it was around 60 odd minutes.

Ramsey was playing with the under 21's towards the end of last season.

I went to one of the games which was played on the Turf, Ramsey started alongside Tresor against Brentford.

They did. And it was exciting and refreshing. How we get more like that I don’t know. I recall the days the teams were being leaked during dyches era. (I know who that particular leak was).

That’s not actually what I said. He didn’t have a great tournament but he showed his class in glimpses and the attributes that he has.

Sorry I must have misread, I thought you said McAtee was excellent with parts of his game!

Targetman

That’s not how I saw it during the u21 euros. Completely different players with completely different roles and skill sets. Scott was just playing the water carrier role and I actually found Anderson quite frustrating at times - decent player but more in there for his physical attributes. McAtee was...

It always baffles me when people post things on here even though they know its more than likely untrue.

"In the know" is a well used phrase on here but some posters like other people to think that they are members of that club.

I’ve been to plenty of away games, but i stay well clear of the concourse if I can. Usually have my teenage daughter with me, and that’s the last place she wants to be.

Yes its the last place any sane fan wants to be, but unfortunately thats where the toilets are!

Maybe its me who is paying for you. I came to this thread because i've received an email from the ticket office today that doesn't reflect what seems to be happening.

Jimmy Adamson used to get the maximum out of his teams at set pieces, before it was such a big thing.

We used to have some excellent free kick routines in the early 70's.

We won the Charity Shield at Maine Road with one.

Just on the basis bigger clubs get more than the smaller clubs in the league.

Our game will be Sunday now most likely.

Premier League teams who play in the Champions League on Wednesday don't have their league game moved from the following Saturday to the Sunday.

Why are some posters on here happy to endorse their storytelling as fact when really its only drivel?

Some people are a little strange aren't they!

I think it's a fair assumption that more fans travel to watch international teams than they do club teams. Also the World Cup is obviously much more popular than the Club World Cup. Thats the point that I was trying to make. Matchdays or kick off times will be the same in the World Cup and there wi...

Not possible to change your payment to a different bank account? That does seem strange?

Did they give you a reason why?

Very relevant People can’t be arsed to go to a friendly involving Burnley so they would be hardly likely to go to a Club World Cup game involving 2 irrelevant teams on a Monday afternoon at $47 a pop.

Questioning how many would be there if it was on the Turf on a Monday afternoon in a workweek between two teams from over 2000 miles away and tickets at $47?

We’ll do well to get 5000 on against Lazio.
People are talking about watching Lowerhouse instead.

Tickets wont be 47 dollars on the Turf!

Targetman

Hard to disagree but at the same time, from a purely practical standpoint, it will cost 10+ times that figure to replace CJER and we lost his value as a sellable asset in the future at the same time. Say his agent wanted £1million, yeah that's a lot. But how much will it cost to replace him? THB be...

With a capacity of 40,000.

The attendance was just under 9,000, England sold 7,500 tickets.

Andorra have had a new stadium built with a capacity of around 5-6000 but couldn't get it signed off in time for this game.

FIFA gave them permission to play the game in Barcelona.

We need to keep hold of someone. Trafford, CJ and Brownhill are going to leave a massive hole. If we add Steve to that then there isn’t much chance of us staying up at all.
