I was down at the training ground watching the U18s on the top pitch on Saturday morning and noticed they have pulled the old astro turf up and are doing work, I was told they are putting a small stand alongside a new pitch (not 100% sure its been confirmed) I wonder if there are plans to use that for the U21s and Womens team? I know they have said the goal is to bring the womens team back to Burnley, but I think its highly unlikely they would use the Turf.

Me and my son was thinking of going to the last game of the season for the ladies team on the Turf, I got an email advertising the hospitality in the Jimmy mac stand we've never been in the new bit since it was all change, I enquired about taking my two year old grandson with us because no one can look after him that day.

Got an email back explaining the dangers about sitting behind the goal with babes in arms (because he's under 5) and the noise ect but they said we can but at our own risk, they also said we'd have to pay full price for him which I thought was ridiculous, anyone else come across this.

if they need a seat, they need to pay unfortunately, like most entertainment venues.

i wouldnt want to carry a 2 year old all day

Under 5'S are classed babes in arms and sit on your knee that's why you don't pay on planes or need a season ticket until thier 5

2 and over are generally classed as needing a seat, certainly on a plane. I certainly wouldn't fancy a 4 year old sitting on me for a full match or flight.

Back to the original point, you don't pay for under 5s in the ground so why do you have to in hospitality, I just find it money grabbing

Personally I wouldnt pay, but thats just me. There were plenty of seats available on Sunday in that area, I'd wing it

[Loyalclaret]

Paying full price for a 2 yr in hospitality seems extreme however as mentioned, on planes you pay for a seat from 2yrs old. I wouldn't book the hospitality in your shoes.

I was in Clearwater, USA, with my 6 month old and wife. Tampa Bay Buccaneers were playing at home, I enquired about tickets and was informed i would need to pay full price $60 for him! No complaint on the people I spoke to but the rule seemed excessive.

serious question. Would people actually pay money to see women kicking a ball around.

There's nothing serious about that question. You are just being naughty and, appropriately, you will be sent to Matron.

That would be good - I'd certainly watch a few games if they had a dedicated field of play that wasn't in Chorley or wherever it is right now.

I’m sure they’d pay money to kick you around

[wilks_bfc]

I’d pay money to see that

no need to be very aggressive because you don't like my thoughts on women's football. ill report you for your aggressive outburst towards other posters.

I doubt that virgin would even recognise a woman if one did kick him in the face.

Classy as ever ppp

I bet the judge loves your misuse of and lack of punctuation and Capital letters to start posts and after full stops lol.

Last week there was a big net behind the goal, so no risk at all of being hit.

Wouldn't they be better used near the corners?


Don't worry, I'm only parodying
