However will they manage if they make to the Premier League and the £30 cap?

If they were to reach the Premier League I doubt that losing a few quid on away ticket income would impact them very much.

Hmm, I suspect fear is not a feeling they are experiencing prior to playing us at the weekend

I can see Liverpool not turning up at the weekend.

Well if they were sensible they'd just stay in their seat for 10 minutes until the rush clears, similar to what happens on planes. It's not rocket science In your desperation to make your point, I’m afraid that you are not only coming across as selfish, and having no empathy for those less fortunat...

So in a nutshell, to surmise the 600 and odd posts.....

I go out that way already anyway as usually go to the park view after the game, and it didn't seem any different to what it normally does. That hate is about 30ft wide, not 6ft as reported here.

Walking down Harry Potts way before/after the game is now far better without the away coaches.

Walking down Harry Potts way was never an issue for us previously, and I walk slowly with someone who is disabled.

Now that clubs have played two Premier League games we are perhaps better placed to judge.
Which of the two keepers had the better game against Spurs?
It's a long season so we'll see how the season goes for both keepers.

What a set of miserable melts on here,What a opportunity for our younger fans to see,some of the best players in the world,close up.

So if you’re disabled or simply getting old and find walking challenging you’re a miserable melt.
Ok.

Surely it's not about what's good for which club, it's about justice for Hannibal and the fact that he was racially abused (alleged)

Exactly, and that’s why due process had to be followed to try to try to establish the truth

Preston finished 1 point above relegation last season and Osmajic scored goals in two draws after the incident so this takes some working out

I certainly agree with that - and said so at the time, but once the season had ended then the scenario that I described above became active.

nil_desperandum

No matter how you look at it, it has no impact on Burnley whatsoever, but the timing of this could not be worse for PNE. It's dragged on to the point where the transfer window will be closed, so selling him will be difficult whilst this hangs over him, and if he does get a lengthy ban the window is ...

I don't suppose Ken Shuttleworth will mind sharing his "in Memoriam" thread with all those cricketing greats mentioned above.
Interestingly, I checked and he played in the First Test against the Rest of the World in 1970, a series dominated by Sobers and Barlow.

Eddie Barlow was sub pro for Burnley one day in the 1970s. I was at football but my dad was there and was just my dad's kind of cricketer. He bowled through at one end and then carried his bat without, as my dad said, ever lifting a ball off the ground. I'm not sure what my dad would have made of t...

He’s a big gamble at Brentford (who have lost some top players) and must be vulnerable if they are down near the bottom by end of September

Strange appointment. He won’t see the season out.

If he doesn't get a win against St Mirren this weekend, loses on aggregate to Brugge and then loses to Celtic, he might not see August out!

No surprise that things are not going well at Ibrox. It was an inexplicable appointment and unpopular with the fanbase even before a ball was kicked. How many games will Russell Martin last? I reckon the away game at St Mirren on Sunday is a must win game now. (They've got Brugge away and then Celti...

Probably he wouldn't. On the other hand, would he want to send a message to the players that they are going to spend all season struggling and playing a midweek match against a lower league team is too tough for them?

Focus on the PL? We have 11 matches to play in the next 3 months. I doubt that any of our players will be in need of rest after that schedule.

I never attend a game 'expecting' anything but I do go 'hoping' for a good performance/ victory.

I had the misfortune of working with loads of band wagon jumpers in the nineties when Walker was throwing his money around,for me the more times we can beat them the better.

Why, just why?
Surely with the tough fixtures we have coming up, the last thing we need is that sort of distraction?
And just imagine the outcry on here if Parker were to focus on the PL - as he should, and a much weakened team were to collapse as we did at PNE last year.

Just parked up at Boundary Mill
At the kiosk - in the window there, there’s a large board - about a metre high- with coloured pictures of all the ice creams
You can read it easily at +10 yards distance, and the prices are clear
A cone or tub is £1.50 or £2 with a flake.

The prices are displayed on the side of the van, seems to be current theme to order what you want and then complain when you don't like the price.

I'm not sure what people want to happen. Everyone seems to complain about it, it's a private enterprise that has paid for a pitch. They could charge a tenner a lolly if they wanted.

If we are going to be playing with the 3 at the back, we are a top level right wing back short.
