Turf Moor (Expected Noise)

[Silkyskills1]

Not sure how your lads will get tickets for home sections, even Clarets can't get tickets at times they make it so damn difficult. Best of luck.
By the way you can see the Moors from the ground, but not if it's raining, or foggy, or if it's too hot and there's a heat haze, snow can be a problem too, but not normally in August, it's also hard if you get a really hefty person sat near you, or if you are particularly small, or partially sighted, or drunk, or asleep. Otherwise yes, it's a splendid view.

I expect there to be some kind of haze rising from the pavements and roadside throughout the day. Normally does in my experience of Scotch clubs and their national team.

A lot of people (Burnley Fans) will be out and about, not even on the game as it's televised. Therefore i expect pubs close to the ground to be heaving, whilst other Scot's dont have tickets too.

Where will they watch it for example? There arent many, if any, away friendly pubs in burnley

Cricket Club and Bees Knees are 2 pubs I have heard people will be drinking if they can't get a ticket,

[Silkyskills1]

So basically they are not bothered about watching any football (your insinuation,not mine). Just can't comprehend anyone coming up with the idea of travelling 700 miles just to go drinking all day in Burnley' unless it's one of those ' bucket list' things that posh people do.

36...because he is 4000 miles away..

[alboclaret]

We have sold 16500 home tickets as of today said the ticket office earlier.

Will you stop being negative because something happened 40 yrs ago.
I'd hate to owe you a quid.

Let it drop.

Silky, as one of the more 'respected' posters on here, I'm surprised by you referring to our visitors as Scotch. They are Scots, from Scotland. Yes, I have some Scots blood in me UTC

Is this like a Notts/Nottm thing? Oh goody! I love those.

[Silkyskills1]

Negativity on this board currently and I'm the one to blame.................and for something that happened forty years ago.! I have difficulty remembering what happened last week.

Hell, it's a vendetta. I apologise wholeheartedly for the mistake but was typing so quickly I didn't bother to check.
As for a ' respected poster' well thankyou very much for that though ultimately I'm just a contributor like all others who has opinions that just occasionally are not met with universal agreement. I'll read more carefully in future before I post.

[KLClaret]

Not a dig mate, I enjoy reading your well reasoned posts but to call Scots 'scotch' isn't the best idea. I think the Aberdeen lot will be fine. It's up to Burnley folk to reciprocate. UTC

Aberdeen lot????? Aberdonians!

can you see the moors from the ground

From where I once was in the upper tier of the 'modern' build side stand (can't remember what it's called) you can. At least it looked like moors to me. Not sure about the other parts of the stadium.

[polentone]

I still think upwards of 5k scots ascending to Turf Moor and surrounding areas, has the recipe for carnage no matter the result

We win, it's partytime and the atmosphere will be amazing in the ground and on the streets/pubs after
We lose, it's scots celebrating in and around the area.

I'm guessing most Scots wil be down for dinnertime at the earliest too..

Won't be anything like 5,000 Aberdeen fans present in Burnley. 3,000 would be closer to the mark.

There would of been 5k Burnley in Aberdeen and plenty more if you could of had the back up of watching it in a pub.

Definately

Guys I thought I would let you know how i felt since i have recovered from my hangover and made it home.

You guys were equally friendly with 1 Burnley fan coming up to speak to me leaving my hotel in Manchester around 12, I met plenty Burnley fans at Manchester Victoria and heading to the ground and all top lads who chatted away. Pre drinks at cricket ground was good.

As for the match well I think you can see we enjoyed ourselves and supported our team the way it should be done passionately and loud (its easier away to make more noise with a few drinks in you). I am sure we gave our players a helping hand to perform and I thought we went toe to toe with your team.

I won't mention money as at the end of the day it was 11 v 11 and nothing changes that. I am gutted we never got the victory but we urgently need a striker who will put the ball in the net and I think if we had one we could have walked away with a victory.

After the game we walked up to the Manchester Road station with both sets of fans all around and I never saw 1 piece of trouble so credit has got to go to both sets of fans.

I was sitting with burnley fans at a table in McDonald and this wee boy around 3 said he felt sorry for us losing which summed up the support.

I hope we managed to change the way some of you than scots are not all assholes and especially on the east coast of Scotland. I notice that 2 croats got stabbed at the game against 1 of the bigots and add to that the fighting last week with them and Wigan I am sure you did not have this type of behaviour dissenting on your town.

I notice some of your fans saying I hope we can get a preseason game next year as it would be good. I am quite the opposite and prefer not the as pre season games are so different and I am sure the atmosphere would be a lot different.

Good luck in the next round and best of luck for your season. I will keep an eye on how you are doing after those 2 games.

Well done everyone of us.

Just don't wake the Bob Lord stand up with your noise.

Premier league fans aren't really known for making noise at home anymore. Middle class spectator sport these days.

Your not entirely right about that. There was plenty of noise in the Bob Lord last night but the design of the stand - the roof mainly - makes for bad acoustics and the noise does not transmit to the rest of the ground unlike in the CFS.

I was wrong about everything in that post. The atmosphere was great last night all over.

I agree I think your fans bounced off the noise we were making to make a great atmosphere.

No idea if the boy going on the pitch was from our end or yours but he didn't have get pummelled from a security guard

[1968claret]

Thought both sets of fans created a great atmosphere. Loud, passionate and well humoured.

In over 40 years of watching the clarets this stands out as one of my favourite nights at the turf.

Well said. You are right is what you say about the so-called fans from Glasgow... they give the whole of Scottish football a bad name. I will take the images of the Anglo-Scottish Cup game at t'Turf v Celtic with me to the grave. How someone wasn't killed that night is a minor miracle. What Rangers so-called fans did in Manchester a few years ago was, again, disgraceful.

What we fans, Dons and Clarets, have shown is that football is what matters and folk can get on well together no matter where they're from.

Good luck this season. Play like you have done over the two games against us and you'll be top two again.

I watched the UEFA guys at the end as they wandered towards the tunnel. They were loving the friendliness being shown by both sets of supporters in the CricketField Stand. They stood by the goal for several minutes watching with smiles on their faces.

We might get an easier draw on Monday now.
