Think something high on the agenda would be to get some sort of idea of the logic / rationale behind allocations we take for away games.....

Unfortunately the weather forecast for tomorrow isn't looking too good. Hopefully it's wrong as Littleborough is my favourite other ground.

There's always next Saturday!

One of the great features of staying in a hotel or B&B. What's the best you've experienced? The Hotel in Perth where we stayed after the St Johnstone friendly under Coyle was bloody marvelous. 4 kinds of sausage! Aside from that, Estival Torrequebrada and Riu Costa del Sol were both enjoyable break...

Let’s not partner with X, let’s not having betting firms as sponsors. What next? Let’s not sell meat pies incase they upset the vegans?

This is the thing, if something is "bad" it should be legislated against. If it is legal and pays the club money, i'm in

I missed the 1st of Bergamo's 2 funicular railways and walked up instead. I needed wringing out by the time i got to the top of the first part of the hill up to Old Town

Are you a bit dim

Read the post by arise-sir-charge, he clearly states that non of the playing staff are paid for coaching.

We all realse you have something against Lowerhouse but you're becoming tiresome.

Clearly thick as mince. #UTH #FTC (F**kTheColne)

Nearly all these obscure players fit into the ‘ahh, now you mention him’ category for me. But one player already named is somebody I had to look up recently after his name cropped up somehow, I had absolutely no memory of him - Stanislav Varga, central defender who came to us on loan in early 2008 ...

Still remember a 3-0 defeat away at Boothferry Park under Clive Middlemass where he didn’t even look like a goalkeeper’s cousin.

Anything less likely to inspire commitment and focus as a back up keeper playing under a caretaker manager?

Spurs Stadium tour was well worth it too. Did that the day after the cup game. Well worth looking to do these things for the big grounds if you stay over after an away game

ŽižkovClaret

Not done that yet but did the Olympic Stadium tour in Berlin the day after we beat Germany and the dressing room was still a tip

Bergamo is a good place for an easy cheap ryanair weekend. quieter than Milan itself but plenty of places to eat and drink and a good walk up to the old town.

Because someone doesn’t agree with what you are saying doesn’t make them a troll. People can’t say Alan Pace is personally benefitting without providing any evidence that he is On the balance of probabilities, he's making a tidy sum, or he wouldn't be here. I'm happy for him to pull me up on that s...

Have you anymore info on the alleged incident or are you just jumping to conclusions that Roberts is a gobshite with his team mates?

I personally would have never changed the rule that you either had to live, or work within a certain radius of the home ground of the club you played for. It would have been very interesting to see how the clubs who've had all the recent success, would have got on if this was the case. How do they ...

Lancashire league cricket just mirrors football. Same teams at the top and same ones at the bottom. Teams just find ways round of bringing in professionals and playing them as amateurs.

Which teams would that be?

So Burnley loaning out on the cheap?
Just building more debt into Burnley?

Tbh i'd rather we loan fringe players to La Liga on say 50% salary contribution vs Championship on 100%

I think the players will benefit, and i think it makes us a more attractive prospect for young development players

I would imagine the thing about the parent club was mentioned only to reassure any Spanish readers that they weren't being considered on an equal footing with Dundee or the Belgian club...... I see no reason why we wouldn't be considered equal if not slightly ahead of Espanyol

At the level he works at, outside of matchdays, it really doesn't matter if he's in Burnley, or Barcelona. He will spend a chunk of time there as it is a new acquisition. That's normal for any business. It's not like Burnley are left rudderless. Haven't we got a new CEO figure recently, as well as M...

Not sure, the big plusses would be the Northern league is an open league where you can pay who you want with no court cases. And back to Saturday cricket.

You have to have promotion and relegation to be classed as a Premier league. I think the Lancs league got a bit of leeway for not having a feeder league. The Northern league are supposed to be bringing the Cumbrian league into their pyramid system, which will only strengthen their appeal. They are ...

Its pretty clear that they are removing the points for single home games to push those more irregular / casual punters towards memberships, as a different silo of supporter group.

I think people forget just how much of a monkey on our back that lack of an away win was. It felt so massive to get rid of it that day at Hull.

Ruining Liverpool's unbeaten run, and with a Barnes penalty no less, is a very good shout, however.

I was interested to know this also. On top of this. It’s unlikely most people would ever bother to do this. But theoretically with the exchange system.
