How does this keep them more isolated?
They will be mixing with fans on the Longside side, in a more confined area
They'll build a temporary mental fence/gate etc like you see at a lot of away games.
Homes fans will have to walk the long way round.

I’ll hold my hands up if wrong, but I really can’t see this happening. As others have said it’s would be a logistical nightmare for stewards & policing having both sets of supporters on that side of the ground. Having the away entrance on HPW allows the coaches to park there, creating a “natural ba...

If that refers to the Premier League seasons then he’s right. We were also unfancied in the 13/14 promotion season. In fact the only season he was there when we were expected to do well is 15/16. Nope, you are rewriting history. Burnley were always perceived to be 'Dyche will see them safe' and the...

Dyche often used the 'everbody tipped us to be relegated' every season when very few people infact ever did tip us to be relegated.
He has a Nigel Farage about him.

I don't think there's any evidence that the highest demand since the 60's shows that we'd regularly sell 25k home tickets. Empty seats: 1. Ruin the atmosphere 2. End up filled by away fans.

He looked the same insecure, indecisive keeper we've had for the last 12 months but the opposition is about as weak as he has faced so got a bit of a free pass.
He doesn't inspire any confidence and it would've been better all round had he moved clubs in the window.

By that logic we won't get any from the next 3! I'd rather be playing Chelsea at home than any of our next three opponents.
With Trafford in goal i'd agree but we are a different team with Muric, the results clearly show this.

Not if Forest beat Sheffield United and get something at home to Chelsea, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility at all.

4 points from the next 3 games and then beat Forest will be enough.
