Family was/are settled up here, good mates with Jack Cork, wouldn't surprise me if we got him until the end of the season to help with the younger players all whilst coaching alongside Cork or moving in to that role in the summer. Wouldn't be a signing of technical quality but experience wise and w...

WE ARE SECONDS AWAY FROM KICK OFF

LET’S GET EVERYBODY BOUNCING

Yankee Doodle Doo! I don’t care as long as we are winning!

Healeywoodclaret

Yes I’m glad you are all warming to Scotty Parker. I warmed to him immediately after his first interview. He was a class player. I live in the North East …… They love him here! I knew he would get us from the off. He will change tactics every game according to our opponents. Well happy with our new ...

Claret by choice, not by birth and my home City (not town) is acknowledged to be one the world's best; and far from these shores. The new Head Coach's English is mangled and although, like you, I understood him I do wonder if that same level of understanding will be there for those players (and the...

He is a good talker .. but so was VK … I’m optimistic he ca. at least get us into the play offs next season …
That has to be our minimum targeting think

Scott Parker interviews far better than Kompany ever did. I was completely sick of Kompany’s waffling after every game.

Healeywoodclaret

Just listened to his interview and I look forward to finding out the identity of the interpreter he will use. I know the players all speak English - some as a 2nd or even 3rd language - but we do need someone to translate what he says into a recognisable version of the mother tongue. Ahhh I always ...

'In that sense'

Give him a break! Apart from repeating this, I think it was an excellent interview. I think he will understand the culture here. He’s enthusiastic and I am quite excited about his appointment. Welcome to Turf Moor Scott!

Healeywoodclaret

Yes they love to film Burnley Wood. Healeywood in the early 1970’s was a great place to grow up. Almost rural with our playgrounds being The Delph,where we used to sit on a match day evening as children listening to the roars from Turf Moor, Chucky Pad and Healey Heights. Happy memories. Bank of Dav...

There's a really good (and unexpected) bookshop at the railway station at Alnmouth. If you mean Barter Books that’s Alnwick. The old Alnwick Railway Station. You can get list in there and spend far longer than you intended. It has a miniature railway constantly running above your head and a nice ca...

Healeywoodclaret

I’m reading this with interest, really informative. Taking the family to Alnwick for a week in August, I’ve noted down the places that you’ve all mentioned. Can anyone recommend some places to take two young (14 & 10) adventurous lads, Oh and the wife will be tagging along! If the lads like history...

Healeywoodclaret

Thanks everyone so far for your recommendations. Going to trawl through them over the weekend and plan a few places. Many of you have talked about moving there - to be honest this is a holiday come recce too! 😀 Place will be full of Burnley Fans🙄!! People next door to me moved in last year from Tod...

Love it up there, we stay at Beadnell when we go.
If you go to Amble you must go down to the harbour and have a belting meal at the Fish shack.

Or try Lilly’s Landing Amble Harbour. Very popular.

I did,3 years ago,never one regret.

We moved here 2008 after discovering Northumberland on holiday. Never looked back. But Shhhhhhh …… it’s a secret gem and until Robson Green started spouting Northumberland was this country’s best kept secret.

Healeywoodclaret

I'd rather not publicise just how beautiful our part of the world is, it could end up like Tenerife. Well said Andy! It is a wonderful place to live (we live in between Warkworth and Amble). I would recommend craster (famous for smoked kippers) and the wonderful walk from there along the coast to t...

Given how the season panned out, I'd prefer a clean sweep of the backroom staff.

Hi Amble …… personally I’d be happy for Mike Jackson to stay. He wouldn’t have got much of a say on matters with VK in charge given his arrogance.

Healeywoodclaret

It is a really good point and for all the talk about VK in or out, we are generally a more loyal bunch to our managers than most fan bases. Other stadiums would have been totally toxic by January if they were having the season we just had. Let's hope the next appointment is a good fit for the club ...

Healeywoodclaret

Happy to move on now. This season was disastrous. The Manager failed spectacularly and worse showed extreme arrogance and zero loyalty to our Club. Goodbye Mr Kompany.

Healeywoodclaret

Condolences to you and your family at this very sad time. Clearly you’ll never forget your wonderful Dad.

Healeywoodclaret

He has been extremely naive and stubborn. So much so, particularly regarding his pig headedness. Somebody mentioned Trafford. I think that Lad’s career could be ruined not to mention his confidence. Does Kompany think he knows best? Has he learned from his mistakes? I bloody well hope so or its time...

And where would we be if the VAR decisions had gone in our favour - anything can happen yet

VAR decisions will never go our way. The premier league is corrupt.

You certainly aren't, what a helmet. Deadwood is missing you. Amble Claret ….. ha ha very good! Looking forward to seeing you in our village our dog walking. I believe you met my daughter wearing her Burnley shirt out with Rupert. We will have a good old chin wag about our Claret Woes! Yeah I had n...

The inexperience is also on the bench and that takes time. Let’s compare to Thomas Frank. When already having more coaching experience than Vinny or Bellamy he then spent 2 years as Brentford assistant boss in the Champ, another 2 years getting them promoted, and has had another 3 years in the Prem...

Healeywoodclaret

And nobody has mentioned Al-Dakhil. Responsible together with Trafford for the equaliser in my opinion. I’ve been watching him closely and he is not impressive. He not good enough to handle Premier League Strikers.

Healeywoodclaret

There will be several people responsible for this. Young lads raised in these rural areas are no strangers to felling trees. A few lads probably paid to do it. Words fail me how anyone can think this is ok. I mean was it their tree to cut down? No this earths beauty is for all of us to enjoy. Throw ...

The defender stitched Foster up. That little nudge to the chest wouldn't have knocked my granny over. 3 contentious VAR decisions last night, and they all went against us.

Agreed …. Game changing decisions

Healeywoodclaret

They're not very good at this conspiracy business then, given that big clubs Leicester and Leeds were relegated last season and replaced by little Burnley and Luton. Yes and if they have their way they will remedy that at the end of this season. Just out of interest…. Happy with the decisions last ...

Healeywoodclaret

The money men/corporate overlords and tinkerers have ruined our beautiful game. It’s a conspiracy. Nothing has changed since last time we were in this league. They’d rather have the likes of Leicester than little Burnley in this league because they can make more money. Pure greed. Biased beyond bel...

Healeywoodclaret

The officials did everything they could to hand 3 points to Forest on a solid silver platter. Even played 99 minutes. Sickening. An absolute disgrace the way our club is discriminated against in this league.

On the ticket section of the official website, all home games went on sale at the same time, some games are available and some are sold out. First game currently with tickets on sale is Bournemouth in March but as games get nearer tickets that have been sold back to the club go on sale, just keep c...

Where do you look to see if tickets are still available? Presumably official Website? I was also keen on 2nd December vs Sheffield Utd.

Thanks for the replies

Healeywoodclaret

Does anyone know how far in advance I can purchase tickets for the home game vs Everton 16 December?

How can you say Muric isn’t brave? Wtf? At the start of last season, against far less calibre opposition, he looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Never rated Muric. Too slow by far. Nowhere near a Premier League keeper. Trafford is quicker and brave because he’s clearly getting dogs abuse...

Healeywoodclaret

Defintely potential there, but think we should have started the season with Muric and let Trafford take the shirt on merit, especially as Muric was so crucial to our style of play last season. Feels like he has been thrown in at the deep end and possbly to justify his price tag. I think in time he ...

Healeywoodclaret

How do you know that? Neither will ever forget the rivalry I don’t think!

Healeywoodclaret

I didn’t really mean nerves I meant history. Didn’t Hanley say he’d NEVER play for Burnley. Be interesting coz Ash was a key part of our dressing room. Other players loved him.

Healeywoodclaret

Now this may have been discussed before and if so I apologise. It was good to see Our Ash score for Norwich vs Milwall ….. Hanley currently injured. How do we reckon Barnsey and Hanley will get on as Team mates this season?

Healeywoodclaret

Just finished it all and now feel even more comfortable about Pace etc. being at the helm. I've said on other threads that, yes, they saddled debt on the club, but I think their business acumen and progressive approach to growing the club will generate more in the long-term than Garlic would have. ...

Now finished all 4 episodes, enjoyed it although being a Burnley fan helps. A City mate was raving about it to me last night but of course similar point for him with the Kompany connection/insight.
