FA Cup - who's going on?

[Leisure]

So how do you fit that in to the fact that we've won five of our last third round games?

If people just don't want to go and support their team then fine but giving the reason for not going as the manager not caring or wanting to win is just boll**ks!

[clarethomer]

Don't recall them having done it before this season. In 2019/20, the last season we could go to cup games, we had a higher price for non-season ticket holders than season ticket holders but no increases on the day.

That was my recollection

Thought they'd done it for the Peterborough game but I may be wrong.

[ClaretTony]

That was my recollection

Was definitely the case in 2019/20 for Sunderland (League Cup) and Peterborough & Norwich (FA Cup).

[ClaretTony]

Thought they'd done it for the Peterborough game but I may be wrong.

Peterborough tickets were

Season Ticket Holders
£10 - Adults
£5 - Over 65 & under 18s

Non-Season Ticket Holders
£15 - Adults
£7.50 - Over 65 & under 18s

What about when we were in the fifth round last season and Dyche decided to play that team?

Dyche usually plays a worst team in these cups it’s not an out there suggestion that he doesn’t care about the cups.

Tbh I can’t blame him. Minimal resources, why risk it.

Agree. The manager uses his squad, that's why we have one. If he played his 1st 11 and some of them picked up injuries he'd be slated for risking them!

[Rowls]

Gonna wait until 2:45pm to make sure the game is still on.

It definitely won't be by then!

Are the streams so far behind in France?

[ICL]

I’ll be there; the journey continues.

Correction, not going. Tested positive for Covid
Still, every cloud…

[Stayingup]

Two town teams playing against each other. Bit if a rarity for us these days to play against a fellow town team.

[kilmalley]

Please please, let me have my day.
I will be there.
Having not watched the Clarets home or away live since the away game at Chelsea and been denied the pleasure since that Accy Clarets coach trip due to family and Covid-19 issues I cannot wait for my respite day on Saturday.
Who cares what: For me it’s back to my first love.

Sorry to be a pain, but I wanted to get my point registered. UTC

Hope you enjoy the game, John.

[JohnMac]

Yep.

£10 for me to get behind the Club and hopefully see some light following the gloom of 2021.

[KlyBfc]

After being adamant I want going after last Sunday’s horror show, it got to Friday and the usual happens, I realise it’s what Saturdays a for and life too short to sulk. I’ve booked a ticket and decided I’ll take my oldest daughter to her first ever game (she was going v spurs until it got postponed).

[what_no_pies]

I'm in Newcastle so gonna watch on the box then go and see my local team instead.

Not risking a 5 hour round trip given the liklihood of a late cancellation or another white towel performance.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Wet and cold, a lovely day for it.

[NewClaret]

Me & my family all out with Covid too

[NewClaret]

Maxwel will be glad he’s at AFCON.

[Jmw]

Was supposed to be taking the kids on but Covid got me as well, I’m blaming old Trafford.
Bosscat - plenty of room for you this afternoon, give them a shout for me.

[jrgbfc]

The early kickoff and weather forecast has put me off, along with the prospect of another half arsed cup performance. Fair play to those who are making the effort.

[CaptainKirk]

So, using the above as an indication of the yes, no and maybe positions and basing the answer on the % of Burnley fans who use this Forum, The crowd will be 12,125.
Feeling confident with that so am off to get a lottery ticket on my way to the ground.
Ps: 3-1 to Burnley as well.

Whereabouts on tele is it?

[ClaretTony]

It’s not £20 and the CBA has seen us get through to the 4th round in five of the last six seasons.

And I’ll be there.

Unfortunately, due to other circumstances, I won't be there although I'll be counted having bought my ticket.

[ICL]

I bought two tickets, but now self-isolating due to contracting COVID (possibly at Leeds?).
Didn’t realise they counted tickets bought, rather than actual attendees.

That's exactly why I'm not there, and it can only be Leeds for me - hope you are feeling better than me ICL.

We’re another two not attending today as caught it- not sure if at Old Trafford or Elland Road though- but I guess our tickets will be added to the attendance.

[claptrappers_union]

Attendance is woeful, Burnley fans can never call supporters of other clubs plastic again.

We played at QPR in the 3rd round in 2008/09 and posters on the message board were mocking QPR who could only muster an attendance of less than 9,000. The replay at the Turf pulled in well under 4,000.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Attendance is woeful, Burnley fans can never call supporters of other clubs plastic again.

For not attending a game in a devalued competition with a 12:30 kick off on a miserable day where both teams have weakened sides outs. During a pandemic where more people than ever are catching it?

Ok then.

[ICL]

Thanks Tony. Major symptoms passed after about 48 hours.

Given the circumstances, I wouldn’t draw such conclusions from this attendance.

Snap.

[ICL]

Remember when we talked about ‘Superspreader’ events

[what_no_pies]

Sorry about my mate reply. Hopefully you missed it anyway. Was on bet 365 but I eventually settled on a channel on the Firestick. Was very kissable mind.

And your response was to someone who would be paid for being there.

Sorry to here that CT, hope you're fighting fit soon.

I wouldn't have been there today had I not tested positive. I rarely go out so I have to have got it at a game. Have to wait until next Thursday and Friday now to see if I'll be able to go to the Leicester game.

As bad as it apparently was today, I missed not being there.

Touch wood you'll be OK for the Leicester game, assuming of course that it even goes ahead given the Foxes apparent lack of players.

At least you won't have the torture of writing the match report, so that's one good thing out of a bad situation.

Bizarrely IF we beat Leicester, and then follow that up with a win over Watford, today will be quickly forgotten, football fans are fickle like that, and often have short memories.

We are all fickle - I've usually calmed down by the time I get to the message board, but speak to jdrobbo & MDWat and they'll tell you what I'm like during a match.

Lucky at that as well.
