It's the europa league ffs. Not many fans from any team in the whole Europe have ever gave a toss about it and especially so when it's in the pre-season, when everyone is on holiday against an unfashionable Scottish team. If we are still in the comp in a few months against some big teams we will see bigger crowds but for now nobody cares. I could of told you that months ago!That's why we have sold out for the Aberdeen game then and have a waiting list for tickets --or is that a crock of shite too?
I agree if we don't sellout for Aberdeen that is a very poor do. Non competitive pre season games with no new signings are unlikely to attract vast numbers.Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:That's why we have sold out for the Aberdeen game then and have a waiting list for tickets --or is that a crock of shite too?
The worst pre season I remember was under Jimmy Mullen in the pre season for the promotion to the first division season playing the best football I have ever seen at Burnley. Pre seasons mean nothing!Worst pre season I can remember.
Which translates asA Burnley, les Pailladins sont allés chercher un score de parité contre une formation mixte. L’entraîneur britannique avait choisi logiquement de faire tourner après le nul en Coupe d’Europe jeudi soir. Le contraire de Michel Der Zakarian qui avait aligné une équipe quasiment type au coup d’envoi. Score final (0-0) avec selon l’unique live tweet fourni par le site officiel et aucune image visible les meilleures occasions pour les Anglais et quelques arrêts de Lecomte et un sauvetage sur la ligne de Mendes. Rendez-vous à Sète contre le Genoa samedi prochain pour l’ultime test.
So it would appear that our cobbled together side managed a clean sheet against their first XI which will no doubt please SD.At Burnley, les Pailladins (la Paillade is the area of Montpellier where the Mosson stadium is (named after the river)) have got a draw against a mixed opposition. The British coach logically chose to make changes after Thursday night's draw in the Europa league. The opposite of Michel Der Zakarina who put out more or less a full first team for the start of the game. Final score (0-0) with, according to the official site's live tweets and no images, the best opportunities were for the English side and several saves by Lecomte and a goal lign clearance from Mendes. See you all in Sete next Saturday fro the last test of pre-season against Genoa.
Thank you BCC for confirming that the Burnley fans are not superfans as many think, they are just as apathetic towards supporting their club in a European competition as those of other clubs.BigChaCha wrote:It's the europa league ffs.

To say it's a indication of an apathy among Burnley fans when we are one of the best supported teams per head of population and have been for a long time is just poppycock or is that a crock of shite too?
I enjoyed it because I took it for what it was. I thought O'Neill played well - everything went through him. And a word for the much maligned Legzdins - faultless (and Heatonesque in his vocal organising).jrgbfc wrote:Bet the few who bothered to go down today are really glad they made the effort!

Dunne was good. Both full backs were absolutely shocking. O’Neill did ok, McNeil ok, but the rest was a sorry sight. Walters wasn’t even remotely interested in playing.
A total write off of a game. Don’t think the players wanted to be there and I certainly wished I wasn’t by the end.

Sorry, have to pull you up on this. I’ve been to every ground in the Premier League over the last few years and the view from the BFS and CFS is up there with the best of them due to them being raised above pitch level whilst also close to the pitch.Goody1975 wrote:That just isn't the case though is it?
The majority of people on here talk of ground redevelopment not massive capacity increases, there are thousands of substandard seats in the ground with the majority of these always being the last to be sold.
The Bob Lord and Cricket Field Stand have supporting pillars which are only listed as restricted view if you can't see both goals, the concourse in the Bob Lord is crowded and the CFS at times unacceptable.
The lower tier in the new stands are too low with the front three rows of the JHL below pitch level making the view abysmal and very open to the elements.
So in short any capacity increase would be nominal taking the turf from 21,900 to 23,000 at most but if people are paying £30+ for a seat we should be giving them a view expected from a top flight club in 2018 not 1988.

I get the points raised about the concourses but it’s like that at every ground and only due to the bars’ location immediately next to the passageways.
To say there are thousands of substandard seats is absolute ******** quite frankly. Be careful what you wish for.

It is not a Sunday afternoon training session for your information because admission is being charged and they are playing against a French Ligue 1 side who finished in 10th place last season.
Overall, the small attendance is an indication of the apathy which exists amongst a lot of local fans who just can't be arsed but who will continue to criticise the club for anything and everything. It is the Burnley way and has been for over 65 years that I have been going to the Turf.

I live abroad so no I couldn’t be arsed to attend a Sunday afternoon training session, but I will be attending our first home European match in over 50 years if that’s ok with you.Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:I am truly honoured that someone with such a pedigree as you think that I am stupid and post rubbish, I shall do my best to ensure that I continue just for your benefit, it will save you moaning about other folk.
I hope that you showed enough apathy to steer clear of paying for a Sunday afternoon training session, it appears that many others did and many also seem apathetic to the fact that the Clarets are playing in a European competition of Thursday.
Oh dear, more rubbish. I suppose, because I'm sure that there must be a big waiting list for tickets and people are moaning that they will not get the chance to watch the match because there are never any tickets for them because they can't get two seats together etc., etc.

Perchance it is due to the absence of loyalty points for this fixture?Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:Surely not a small crowd. Loads of fans are always banging on about the ground being made bigger to accommodate all those who say they can't just walk on when they want.
They have the chance today and don't even bother, perhaps there isn't any need to do anything.
