Peacock-Farrell that's a surprise inclusion.

Already 600 Burnley fans outside. Turnstiles not open yet.

I'm sat at home simply because I was concerned at the potential for large numbers turning up and there being chaos. Seems like that could be the case.

Shouldn't you be making a start on your garden Tony instead ?

Ha ha - I wish I could

Same .. seen enough of Boundary Park to wait until next time to be honest

To be honest I wish I was there but I rarely go out and I felt too nervous having to get public transport and then find chaos when I got there, more so with it being pay on the day.

To be fair we got in pretty quickly. Bring you own cleaning stuff for your seats though. Absolutely filthy.

What a disgrace if that's the case.

[bfcjg]

Until the season starts and hopefully covid cases down etc I am avoiding crowds as well, wish i was there though as well.

[Quickenthetempo]

What a disgrace if that's the case.

I've been to a lot of grounds and never had to get toilet roll to clean a seat before.
Looks like a club being run by volunteers.

Pitch looks superb though.

[Quickenthetempo]

Brilliant to be back in an atmosphere though.

[ClaretTony]

Brilliant to be back in an atmosphere though.

That I can appreciate. I went to the Liverpool game and even with the small numbers it was brilliant even though I was forced to self isolate for ten days afterwards.

[NewClaret]

What a disgrace if that's the case.

Haha - we had to clean ours and I said we’d be the only people cleaning our seats!! Seems we’re a fussy lot

Think you’d have been alright in here CT. Not full yet. Behave yourself in the home end

[NewClaret]

Pitch looks superb though.

And the new training wear!

[ClaretTony]

Training kit looks smart

[Chester Perry]

What a disgrace if that's the case.

Par for the course if you have been following the problems at the club since the takeover in 2018 - cost-cutting and disputes left right and centre with extemely poor levels of relationships with the fans

[Newcastleclaret93]

No Pope or Hennessey at the game today? Both injured?

[burnley007]

I'm guessing no live coverage, just comms?

[ClaretTony]

No Pope or Hennessey at the game today? Both injured?

Pope still recovering from his surgery

[Chester Perry]

Training kit looks smart

full on early 90's - i hated it then and absolutely loathe it now - that is so vile I would want to leave the club so I would not be forced to wear it

[Longsider]

Pope still recovering from his surgery

Seems a long recovery, but I don't have his medical records so it might be as expected. Hope he's going to be fit for the c start of the season.

Good job you don’t go on or buy any kit then CP

[Chester Perry]

Good job you don’t go on or buy any kit then CP

or watch warm ups on streams

[ecc]

Looks bloody awful.

[RVclaret]

Love the training kit, looks great!

[mkmel]

Training kit looks Yuk!

Will you be camping outside Leicester’s training ground in August ?

[Chester Perry]

it is fair to say this season is a bit of a marmite one - I shudder at the though of the manager wearing it at pre match press conferences - which is his normal practice - there is an unwritten rule in fashion which says if you were old enough to wear it the first time (or the last time around) you are too old to wear it the next time it comes around - I think that is a sensible approach for the manager this coming season

[Carport]

Love the training kit

[Juan Tanamera]

Has the match started yet, or are the players still on the catwalk showing off the training gear?

camping is something else I don't do - over several thousand years man has developed lots of building technology and things like plumbing, heating etc, because it improved the quality of life, I am always grateful for and respectful to those efforts.

Half time and 0-0 according to FlashScores

[RVclaret]

0-0 with a couple of chances for both sides according to Twitter.

[Local cricketer]

Going to be a long season on that showing

[Chester Perry]

Going to be a long season on that showing

weren't we crap in the pre-season before we won at Stamford Bridge and ended finishing 7th, I would take that - or is that an amalgam of too many seasons following the clarets

[Quickenthetempo]

Played alright in patches.

Oldham have played well and going full pelt like a league game.

Looks like we might swap the full 11 at half time?

[Quickenthetempo]

Only JGB and Richardson survive

[burnley007]

Starting line up:

Peacock-Farrell, Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Gudmundsson, Cork, Benson, Glennon, Barnes, Richardson.

That is a remarkably poor looking side.

[ClaretTony]

Second half: Norris, Lowton, Collins, Thomas, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Rodriguez, Richardson.

[HB Claret]

[Quickenthetempo]

Could have been 5 in 5.

They can't handle McNeil

[Carport]

That is a remarkably poor looking side.

Your point being? It’s a friendly where you don’t play your best side!!

[jrgbfc]

I'd like to think Richardson is going to be knocking on the door of the first team squad this season.
