The thing is , water doesn't cost anything. It's rain. It's free.
The cost is the admin & work involved.

You are not allowed to drink rainwater nowadays, too many particulates.

On the subject of Solihull Moors, their home friendly today against Birmingham has been postponed following a pitch inspection. The record temperatures recorded in recent weeks left areas of the pitch at Damson Park an injury concern. Since February we have only had about 30mm of rain in total, and...

Solihull Moors will be like a home game for me, I live just across the park from the ground!

Has Trafford gone with the squad to Portugal? He is in none of the images or videos the club have posted, even the players arrival at the hotel or the later training games videos.

Kyle Walker was in the same England squads as Trafford and he is there, as are the players who were at the u21 Euros.

But after the expansion to 24 teams (which I feel was a really good move) they simply HAD to form 2 divisions or there would be far, far too many games to squeeze in.

Playing each other once per season would be 1 game more than the current number of games!

Astonishing to see two former 'powerhouse' clubs, East Lancashire and Accrington sitting bottom and 2nd bottom in Division 2!

I guess you could buy a ticket for every single game and not attend any of them and get the maximum number of loyalty points.

But I do attend enough home games to make it worth my while. I was merely pointing out the 5 aways =more than 19 home games anomaly.

??? 5 away games x 20 points = 100 points 19 non-season ticket home games x 10 points = 190 points 19 season ticket home games = 350 points + 19 x 5 points if attending = 95 points = Total points 445 I have my season ticket, so attending 5 away games = 450 points without attending any of the 19 hom...

I attend more away games than home games as they are often as cheaper and/or easier for me to get to. If I attend just 5 away games I get more points than I would for driving up to Turf Moor for all 19 home games next season. As stated higher up the thread, I can't put my ticket on the exchange beca...

Of course he has, but didn't we pay about 9 million quid for Foster? Ask yourself whether he's been worth it , thus far. As a supporter, I agree, I'm not sure he has 'repaid' his transfer fee. But £9m for a striker is peanuts in the PL scheme of things. If we expect 20 goals from a striker in a PL ...

Or maybe people have watched him for the last 2 and a half seasons and made an informed judgement.

And people like Mike Jackson haven't?

But he's never going to be a PL striker as long as he has a hole in his arse, he really isn't.

One has to wonder why the club employs the people they do when there are posters on here who are far better scouts and coaches.

Boris Johnson's government announced a £150 million fund for road repairs, only a small amount of which has been taken up because it would only offer a percentage of the cost and most councils could not afford the co-pay part of the deal. All road repair contracts are awarded on lowest cost basis. T...

Strange, because the experts on here were all saying last season that numerous clubs were chasing him. He's available for free FFS!

No such thing as free. The signing on fee is often equivalent to the reported transfer value of the player.

Isn't the main issue that we are looking for cheap(ish) options, and it's not working out?

Absolutely - regular goalscorers cost LOTS!

Burnley fans are not fond of foreign strikers are they? At least from what we see on this board. Amdouni, Weghorst, Foster (South African but we bought him from Europe) - none of them good enough, despite being Internationals. Of course, Vydra got exponentially better with every game he didn't get p...

Takes the size of the squad to 41, if I've counted correctly.

At 21 he doesn't have to be counted in the 25 does he?

The £5m is good business

The £70kpw maybe not

£70k per week is really quite low by PL standards. There are probably teams with squad players on double that!

What is all of this “Should Brownhill leave”? He has left. He is no longer employed by the club as of today. He has left.

I'm not sure where people get the idea that the Cricket Club 'should' allow BFC to take their ground, they have been playing on that ground for much longer than the Football Club has been in existence.

The PL is littered with players who have been very successful after coming from the Championship in recent seasons. Based on that Flemming could adapt very well.

I disagree. One captain is what we need. He may have deputies but the role of the captain is probably undervalued and it is vital that we play to his directions and guidance. Who's going to listen to who if there are multiple captains? The more 'captains' on the field the better. Yes, there has to ...

You can't be judged as successful if you only do it at one end of the pitch.

It depends on what he was told to focus on. As the season went on it seemed to become much more about trying to stay defensively solid that trying to score at the other end.

Love the Feyenoord tribute. Looks like the sort of player that Burnley fans will love. Hard working, aggressive, fast and seems to have the knack of crossing the ball into dangerous areas.

Already done it at a high level so will definitely not be intimidated by the Premier League.

This warning was given more with the later rounds of European competitions in mind especially with 3 teams playing Thursday nights, unless Palace get kicked out

If Palace do get kicked out their place would be given to the highest placed non=qualifier i.e. their 'rivals', Brighton.

It's a thread around new kits, what's the issue if people want to discuss ideas for a new Burnley kit? Stay off the thread if you don't like it.

There is a different thread for 'concept kits'. This is a thread about officially released kits! Stay off the thread if you don't like it.

Best I have eaten in years was from a little van just outside Plymouth's ground last season. Absolutely delicious. Made in Devon but called itself a Cornish Pasty so had to have been made to the correct recipe, as has been stated earlier.
