It’s only on for 45 minutes. Be lucky to get through the keepers.

That all depends on whether or not we get a Woody rant, I thought we'd be safe for a while but the VR headset issues, seemed to warm himself nicely into the new campaign.

The Pod Squad are going live on Thursday evening with a special eve-of-the-season special. We're going to be giving some thoughts on the upcoming campaign, maybe even a couple of bold predictions and answering questions submitted by people in advance/on the night. I think the plan is to start at 8p...

I think the plan is to start at 8pm over on the YouTube channel and it'll last about 45 minutes.

Just let Simon know that it's UK time.

Goody1975

I presume there wasn't a live stream at 2.30am (UK time) last night?

Clicking on the notification to see Simon Evans staring blankly at the screen.

A frightening experience, I was struggling to sleep and this didn't help at all.

They’ve improved the match day experience for away fans The positioning of the away fans will make them more of an influence on the game. They are now directly behind one goal and the noise they create is more focused on the playing area rather than being tucked away towards the corner. People can ...

I thought it was at Burnden Park when Taffy ate the banana and it was very early 90s (would’ve had to be). That said, I’ve witnessed some pretty appalling racism from Burnley fans over the years so we’re not entirely innocent in this respect. It was the battle of Burnden in 1988, the banana was aim...

Yes, but look at the game next to it.

Goody1975

So as expected, two exits for approx 2,300 fans and one exit for the home fans.

The extra capacity underneath (or second floor concourse) has to be a priority. An additional exit to the side of the stand (in between the safe standing and seats could possibly help relieve crushing.

Mixed reviews from Saints fans though they were a bit of a basket case. They were. He has only just turned 21, has had a year of Premier League football to acclimatise to top level football and also in a team that won't dominate the ball. If he does sign then we all hope he will play in a team with...

Is Foster injured AGAIN?

Maybe he played in the other game?

Goody1975

IMO the yellow card challenge by the Stoke lad was worse, it was a real cheap shot and very dangerous.

Goody1975

Yes, it means I've made it through another year of my life, something that others are less fortunate to have been able to do.

I've seen us be pretty good and bloody awful but it's about more than just the ninety minutes.

Goody1975

I think I mentioned this, or at least alluded to it, earlier on the thread. I'm assuming away fans will now be immediately behind the goal as a consequence as well ? Yes, this is something that a lot of managers don't like, they prefer home supporters behind both goals. Many clubs now put the away ...

Goody1975

Original capacity of the stand was 4,500, when stairways and exits were improved it was around 4,250. We have since removed the tunnel but taken seats out to create a divide so the maximum it'll hold will be about 4,000 now. As you've said the away allocation is around 2,200 so the home section wil...

There has always been more away capacity than home in the CF hasn’t there? We need to provide at least 2,200 tickets for away fans to meet PL rules I think. Original capacity of the stand was 4,500, when stairways and exits were improved it was around 4,250. We have since removed the tunnel but tak...

Why are people queuing to buy wooden seats from the club.

Before I answer

Is this a genuine question?

Not really surprised at this. Presumably every two seats are supported by three legs, meaning there would always be a surplus of legs to seats?

My point to all of this, is that this could have been foreseen and and sorted with very little thought required.

The club didn’t get anybody to do anything, the choose to go.

The legs are shared. If everyone in their walks away with a chair each, they won’t be enough legs.

Cheaper maybe. But it’s easier organising a truck to arrive, than 100s of dorks ready for a whinge.

Nonsense, but each to their own.

So is the away end now got an extra block, compared to the home side?

I thought the swap in sides would mean more exits for the home supporters, this won't be the case now, will it?

Goody1975

Just the backs & the seats, so didnt bother. You couldn't even choose you're own seat number, you just got a random number people were saying as they walked back past us. :cry: So basically two pieces of wood? I'll turn the car off and go back in the house. Ah well, thought it would have been a nic...

Goody1975

Legs are shared between seats though right? So they will run out of legs before seats. But, another reason for a silly pop at the club. I wouldn't say so, if you are going to get fans to give up part of their day, at least don't waste their time. The 'legs shared between seats' scenario didn't happ...

Got near the front to buy our seats, only to be told they have run out of legs for them. It seems they have been giving out to many legs to the ones already bought. You couldn't make this crap up, can our club get anything right? :

So what are they offering?

Goody1975

The argument over the number 9 shirt is dependent on Zian Flemming. If he also wanted the 9 then there would be weight in the argument for Foster starting ahead of him. What I do think, is that the group we have will have bigger priorities than which number they are wearing, they seem to be a level ...

Goody1975

Even 1 is too many, and the message from the club is, if you don't like the seat we give you, you can go sit out in the bad weather in block 1 JH lower, or have your money back. Absolutely amazed at this, and if my view is spoilt by a BIG roof support, having had great seats directly behind the goa...

Who has said that that is going to happen?

It could happen though, the plans for the two sides aren't identical, there will undoubtedly be some supporters affected in this way.

The only real change is that the players now have further to walk in the rain when they arrive. Buzzing for that, I’m sure. The lads who kettled the players after the Millwall game were signed on three year contracts, they have to be found something to do. They are to be issued with brollies and as...

I haven't necessarily got any issues with ALK, as the performances on the pitch have been of a very high standard. It's just bolting a portakabin with a few Christmas tree lights on to the side of the CFS isn't an acceptable short/medium term solution. It doesn't look good when they have just bough...

You put aside the freak period under Dyche and relegation from the top flight for a club of our size, kinda comes with the territory.

Stop concentrating on the Asda part, that's not the point - I could have picked literally any company - it's irrelevant.

It maybe wasn't your best analogy since you started posting on here.

No matter how much money they raise or get from TV income, they'll just stick it in the players and agents pockets.

Spot on Ashington. The new "8 second rule" sounds like a better rule than the current rule which is regularly ignored but the main issue with refereeing isn't in "bad" rules, it's the fact there isn't even any attempt being made to implement the current rules. Referees have lost their authority and...

Another nonsense directive that'll be brushed under the carpet after six weeks, we have a new soundbite every season that is forgotten about before the clocks go back.

Except that Alan Pace and ALK have not invested in Burnley FC. Burnley FC has received nothing from Alan Pace or ALK, or for that matter from JJ Watt or any other supposed investor. ALK have taken £100m out of Burnley FC. They have put no money in. We've been through this further up the thread, rea...

Ok fair enough. To be fair to me, which I think is only reasonable - it could easily have been construed as I construed it as much as me filling in gaps. But I agree. I think the previous owners got the club into Europe and still couldn't see a viable business model so they decided to sell. Glad to...

I don't want to contribute to this any further but sometimes something is so far removed from the truth you feel inclined to respond despite yourself. ALK spent £124 million on shares after they bought the club - out of club money. They spent almost £50 million almost straight away. Alan Pace was a...

Worth noting though Steve that we didn't get to the Premier League initially under this ownership model and we bounced back twice too without it, stayed for 6 years and got into Europe. That is correct and very valid, however I will counter that with saying that football in this country has moved o...

Unfortunately, modern football means if we are too savvy with our money, we'll just become another Preston North End and still haemorrhage money on an annual basis. How many times have they gone to the Hemmings family to put their finances back in order?

Is there a chance that away fans exit via the cricket club side of the fence and home supporters via the main part of Ormerod Yard?
