Outright betting....Burnley listed on SkyBet at 80/1 to win.....quite surprised how low we are to be honest

Posted: **Sat Jun 02, 2018 8:47 pm**

100/1 yesterday don’t know who with though.

Look at the list of winners since 2000 and you’ll know why.

That's why I am surprised....expected us to be around the 250s mark maybe even 500s

When the champs league failures drop in, it becomes more difficult.

But then when you look at the list of runners up and see Fulham, Middlesbrough, and Rangers in there, it looks a bit more hopeful - put it on each way perhaps?

And none of them had Dyche in charge.

Posted: **Sun Jun 03, 2018 8:53 am**

Looks like we will all be going to Azerbaijan in due course!!

Anybody else heard that UEFA want us to play with a closed CFS because our wooden seats don't comply with UEFA regulations....worried about flairs causing them to catch fire!?

No, I don't think anyone else has heard that. I don't think UEFA are quite as stupid as that.

I would love to see your link to UEFA

The seats are that old and wet they wouldn't catch fire.

Goodison has wooden seats and Everton were in the Europa league just last season.

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:22 pm**

BBC Sport article saying prize money for playing in Europa League has jumped from £350M to £490M from this season, with each club receiving a share.

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:28 pm**

Article 18 from UEFA's rules (2018 edition)....seats must be made from unflammable material.....is this where the whispers I have heard have stemmed from?

I didn't claim to have a "link to UEFA" but do have a friend of a friend link to BFC....just asking from what I have heard no reason to believe or disbelieve it!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44378346 that one i guess it's vague about specifics,but i suppose should be good news for participating clubs.

Posted: **Wed Jun 06, 2018 10:04 am**

"Non-flammable" means "not easily ignited and does not burn rapidly if it is ignited". You couldn't set fire to those seats by holding a match to them, so they're OK.

Posted: **Wed Jun 06, 2018 10:26 am**

Does non-flammable, flammable, inflammable and unflammable all mean the same thing (with the exception of unflammable obviously, as it's not a real word).

Posted: **Wed Jun 06, 2018 12:47 pm**

doesn't plastic shatter?

Posted: **Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:36 pm**

Just seemed to me too random for somebody to have looked through the rules to make up which made me think there could have been something in it. I'm sure it will be resolved (if true) as I can't see the club allowing such a large part of the stadium to be closed

Is that being said in a positive or negative way?

Will Dyche play a full side? I think I’m right in saying that in 6 years he’s only ever played a first choice team in a cup game once- away at Man City this season.

Posted: **Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:52 pm**

Odds less than they were to qualify?

Posted: **Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:52 pm**

A pre-season friendly after the start of the season???

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2018 9:49 am**

Just had an email from UEFA champions league mailing list.

3 of the following sides will be entering the EL 2nd qualifying stage following the preliminary, 1 venue, stage...I'd fancy going to any of these, tbh!

Seeded
FC Santa Coloma (AND)
Lincoln Red Imps (GIB)
Unseeded
La Fiorita (SMR)
Drita (KOS)

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2018 9:56 am**

We can't play the first two as they are seeded?

Isn't that correct?

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2018 9:59 am**

Lincoln Red Imps want 10,000 tickets

Trakai is beautiful. That would be a nice spot. And they do the best pies ever. Home from home.

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2018 12:34 pm**

Yeah, Trakai is stunning with the castle and the lake, that wouldnt be a bad first game/visit. Always love visiting Lithuania

Posted: **Tue Jun 12, 2018 1:44 pm**

A ball was taken from each pot and put into a large empty bowl in the middle, where they were shuffled. The first drawn club is at home in the first leg.

Reckon this will be the same procedure for us?

My source tells me that UEFA were at Turf Moor yesterday and were being quite stern in saying that the wooden seats in the Cricket Field and Bob Lord would have to go should we make the group stages.

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2018 10:16 am**

Everton still have wooden seats.

Tell them to stick it then............

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2018 10:28 am**

Everton have a wooden stand, never mind wooden seats

yeah but we all know that if anything happened at Everton it clearly wouldn't be their fault - "eh, eh, eh, it was the fire that was flammable not the wooden seats, you cant pin the blame for anything on us like, just like our red neighbours..."

...and the odd wooden manager some would say recently.

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2018 10:57 am**

Also, the toilets in the CFS are not up to scratch and work will have to be done on them.

The turnstiles require signs showing banned items too

I think flair's are out of fashion in Burnley

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2018 11:45 am**

So, if anyone actually believes this we'll have about a week between the last qualifying match and the group stages to rip out about 7,500 wooden seats and install 7,500 plastic seats.

Very do able!

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2018 12:23 pm**

I read a post a few weeks back that we won’t make money from the Europa League, apparently we can negotiate individual TV Rights as its not pooled at this stage from our home game so that should cover any costs.
