My dad always said that Jimmy Robson was the target when things didn’t go so well. He could never understand it.

What a fantastic result that is for those lads

I read that Richardson was injured. He seems to have been out a while. Any news on the injury or is he fit again ?

The club never give out information on injuries to academy players - they just go missing and you assume an injury.

It was because there was no segregation so they just sort of mingled with the home fans - from memory, Spurs always seemed to bring a lot of fans too.

The 1960 cup tie film, showed someone in the crowd wearing a University hat. He followed Burnley to a lot of games and I think he came from Cambridge and was known as the professor. He used to walk round the pitch perimeter at the Turf in full claret and blue cap and gown handing out sweets to the ...

If we decide to turn up this time.....

We turned up in this fixture last season and there have been far worse performances this season than the one at White Hart Lane when we were so close to getting two or three goals.

ClaretTony

Such a young team.... I hope they don't get easily beaten for the sake of their own self-confidence. That's the one problem. It's good that the regular players are getting first team football and that these lads are getting an opportunity but it is a concern when there are so many of them at one ti...

Granted as one of the worst for auto correct failures on here this is a slightly ironic post. However i do like the term sunshine.

At present all 5th round games are still on Tuesday the 3rd .
Obviously some will move for tv to Wednesday or Thursday possibly.
So depends what day Spurs Fa cup game will be played.

Are they going to play one on Thursday as well? Wouldn't surprise me.

Absolutely no point keeping him here. Putting Kev Long on has put all that to bed, just put him out of his misery. Christ knows why we bought him in the first place. We’d just gone 1-0 down at Everton late in the game and we had to try something to see if we could get back into it. The idea was to ...

Why would it be postponed? If Spurs win tonight, they will play Norwich in the 5th round of the FA Cup which will be on the Tuesday or Wednesday before they play at Burnley.

Come on Tony, 11 million for us is a major signing and 20-odd goals in the Championship had us thinking Andre Gray was going to set the PL alight. The game time thing has shocked me bud but I bow to your superior knowledge on those stats. Are you counting ALL games or just PL? Since signing last su...

ClaretTony

But none of these (Gibson excepted) cost the equivalent of 11m and as far as I am aware didn't come with his reputation. I'm sure there are lots of players who never made it for one reason or another but Vydra was supposed to be a major signing for us. As for Gibson he has had some game time and he...

If he is so unhappy at not getting game time (and confident that he will be able to find another 'more suitable' employer) then why doesn't he hand in his notice (4 weeks?) and become a free agent? That's what I would do in his situation. 4 weeks notice? :D - he’s under contract until the end of ne...

Tony/anyone, if after we're audited we become a Category 1 academy, do we automatically join Premier League 2? I've been trying to find info on it but haven't had much joy. Teams don't seem to be relegated/removed from its second division, so I was wondering if only a set number of clubs can achiev...

Just for additional information - had we not moved up to category 2, and we wanted to play competitive reserve/u23 football in the Central League we we would now be in a league with Blackpool, Fleetwood, Huddersfield, Morecambe and Tranmere. Those clubs, as of 16th January, had played either three ...

So if he “signs” for ManU and then regrets it can he then leave before his 17th birthday?

He can't sign a professional contract until he's 17 but clubs have younger players tied down to scholarship deals and the like.

If I remember correctly a special train ran from Burnley for the game leaving Burnley Central and then stopped at Blackburn to pick up Rovers fans for their cup tie at West Ham.

Dont think that would happen these days!

Sorry, hadn't seen your post when I repeated it

I remember one Central League game v. Wolves and me and my mate, Roy Thistlethwaite (!) - another Nelsoner - and we were stood right next to the benches, the enclosure, I think. Peter Knowles took a fearful clattering from one of the Burnley lads and, after cursory treatment - the cold sponge - he ...

It actually wouldn't hurt the club to garner opinion via an informal query on social media when they are undecided, but I suppose they'll be damned if they do and damned if they dont

If they have you can’t blame em when we don’t sell out for Man Utd or Everton on Boxing Day!

That might well be it. Didn't sell the smaller allocation at Everton and we'd almost 1,000 unsold for Man U although I'm not sure why we went for the full 3,000 there.

ClaretTony

Even if we have taken a reduced allocation I imagine we can ask for more as Newcastle won't fill the area unoccupied by us however, it is then down to the club to take the gamble on any unsold tickets which I imagine going off the first few days sales will be small. I don't know how Newcastle do it...
