In 1979 Trevor Francis became the first £1,000,000 British player.
46 years later in 2025, Alexander Isak cost Liverpool £125 million.
Will we in 40-50 years see a footballer sold for £1 billion ?

A bit rough on someone born in Brierfield. Puts a blight on their England chances.

Didn't harm Mike Phelan.

Good shout. Open six days a week.

There was a Business hub at the Turf under the Bob Lord I think.

It was a really good home start to the campaign.
Good performances from all the lads who will get more confident as we progress.

The North Stand was rocking today great atmosphere ... loved the "Ecstacy of Gold" intro music (from The Good The Bad and The Ugly) albeit a tad loud with the new PA system ...

I loved it too. Its a great fit I think.

From the Bob Lord, there looked to be loads of empty seats in the away end about ten seats wide from front to back. Did they not take up their full ticket allocation? They had more than half the CFS and clearly didn't need all of the seats. Looking at the Jimmy Mac and North stands there were severa...

Good to see the owners investing in the hotel and in the town. Well done to them and their support in making the Kierby great again.

If it wasn't for national lottery tickets and scratch cards, Smiths in Burnley would have closed already.

With 14,000 plus leaving two stands it'll be a bit busy for wheelchair users in the corner stand between the BL and JM to get back to their vehicles on the Fanzone car park

What do we need?

Willie was one of the first Burnley players through the doors of Clarets Collected with his son when it opened at the Library almost two years ago.
Rest in Peace Willie Willie Irvine.

I doubt whether the players alone would hold sway. They're employees after all and play who and where they're told. Hopefully the new Football regulator will hold a position of some clout.

Interesting Eloise. Does anyone know what the difference is between ice cream for dogs and yer ice cream for humans?
How much is a 99 for a dog btw?

The Rotunda can't sell ice cream according to this.

It's been going on a while in Towneley. No prices on display. Apparently the Towneley cafe can't sell ice cream either with the contract.

The American owners don't seem interested in providing a decent catering service. If they were interested it wouldn't be like it is.

Welcome to Burnley Lesley.

Not sure what the £150 membership offers you but some of the sites offering tickets for our home games at premium prices. How reliable these are I don't know, but if it's possible to pay our club £150 to get a ticket for say Liverpool at home and then to sell them on (illegal I know) It looks like s...

mikeS

If you search on Seatpic you can see they have tickets for all over the ground for the Liverpool game. Top price £170.

Burneys on Clitheroe market (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) have a great selection of fruit and veg that you pick yourself, bag and pay. Local produce from Ormskirk spuds to thinks like Chinese pears.
They might do blood oranges for you Rowls.

The new stadium for United seems to have gone quiet.
I suppose this is Ratcliffes idea of helping to pay for it.

Just been down to the ticket office to buy Lazio tickets.
Door locked. Asked at the shop and a member of staff said they're closed Thursdays. I said, 'it's Wednesday', oh yeah she said, they're closed Wednesdays.
So the ticket office is only open four days a week then.

mikeS

The Express pre-match would probably tell you that around 17,000 or more of that crowd were from Huddersfield.

Nice Rowls, well done mate.

Because a mass-production phone that had a built in camera and audio recording facility hadn't been invented yet, or are you just being stupid for effect? No I'm not being stupid at all. I'm making a point that people went to hear the band and we're not distracted by social media crap we now have. ...

I hope the owners aren't the same firm that owns the Adelphi or it'll be just left a vacant shell.

Nice to have two home games at Christmas.
Last game v Wolves at home could be a tasty relegation dogfight too.
