I can’t find anything online to suggest he’s a relation

claptrappers_union

**** fanbase, it’s as simple as that. We have a core base of about 8000 fans, the rest are just hangers on.

claptrappers_union

Apparently the shooter killed his family and then randomers. Grim.

claptrappers_union

Some tragic scenes happening in Plymouth apparently, multiple fatalities according to the news in a serious ‘firearms incident’. Gunman has been shot.

claptrappers_union

Just driven by and the ‘Moor’ has been painted on

“You can’t polish a turd” …But somehow they’ve managed to make the Turf look more of a mess than it already was, quite an achievement in itself really. Black paint everywhere, odd colours for the turnstiles and exits doors. “WELCOME TO TURF”, doesn’t even make sense. The LED boards that were suppos...

Away kit is white and third kit supposedly a dark blue with pin stripe. Talks in place for next seasons home kit to have 'radical' changes from the claret shirt and blue sleeves to something different in same colours.....they'll be a meltdown on here :D Ive not seen a dark blue one yet... I'd love ...

It may seem petty but ‘Welcome to Turf’ really annoys me!

Dropping the Moor started with Howe and seems to have stuck

Welcome to Turf Moor or even Welcome to the Turf would be ok

Its not finished

Hey they have added two more letters since last Saturday , will they finish it off in time for this saturday is the question .

I want it to say Welcome to Turf Moo.

claptrappers_union

Id there's a wall anywhere at Turf Moor, its going to be painted black. I'm not a fan personally

claptrappers_union

It’s not my place to give anything away, but it is white, no funky stuff or patterning on the sleeves though.

claptrappers_union

I've seen it, its nice

claptrappers_union

I don’t even know who our physio is… They used to be a recognisable part of the team in 1990’s, Jimmy Holland, Mark ‘Juda$’ Leather, that Jones fella who eat all the pies who used to run on to the pitch like Fred Flintstone.

I don’t even notice them now.

claptrappers_union

Why are they taking the ****? I don’t understand?

claptrappers_union

I take your point but I just dont see the new owners spending in January if they havent done so, for whatever reason, in their first two windows. All I'm saying is that is if we don't add strength to the squad, it's my opinion that we won't stay in the Premier League. I've been wrong for the last e...

Why in January ? Why not in this Window ? If we spend nothing this window, which will be the new owners' second, where will they magic up the cash from in January ?

I meant on the presumption that we don't add to the squad in this window.

claptrappers_union

When did fans start caring about ‘good football’

claptrappers_union

I think we need more strength in depth to stay up.

Not all gloom and doom yet, but I hope there’s significant investment in the squad in January

claptrappers_union

I think the first Burnley FC would’ve heard about this was from here. Funny what a blue tick on twatter can create.

Publicity stunt from their side I’d imagine, just to leverage a better / quicker deal or something. Was never going to happen, not our type of signing.

claptrappers_union

Never understood vandalism. I kinda get graffiti, tagging, gangs and so on, even understanding that grey area before it’s street art - there’s a discussion there at least. Even littering I get, to some extent - some people are lazy or just don’t care about the society they live in… vandalism is just...

*Not read the whole thread

The edit function is not working

claptrappers_union

Not trad the threshold thread, but he’s got history of this representation saying his signed for another club. He apparently sighed for Barcelona before according to YouTube.

This deal makes no sense, I can’t see it happening

Free Lionel

claptrappers_union

No, he didn’t but he was the one running towards the the crash site shouting at people to call the police and was one of the first on the scene. The heat of the the crash make it impossible and it meant he couldn’t help the people he has literally waved off moments before. But my point is, he saw a ...

I don’t read many books by footballers, but there’s certainly a lot to pack in there.

claptrappers_union

most what? he's never been impoverished or fought in a war. he's never worked in a factory or been to prison. he was born to a wealthy family and he's still a boy. He tried to rescue people from a burning helicopter, witnessed the whole Christian Erikson thing, I’d like to know more about his exper...

claptrappers_union

I saw his pictures on social media off him lifting the charity shield and it make me think, I’d like to read his autobiography one day, he’s had quite an interesting career compared to most.

claptrappers_union

I don’t agree on it being an absolute bargain by the way, just to clarify that before someone jumps on my comments…

I just prefer visiting those types of grounds

£33 at QPR is an absolute bargain. Love an away day at a proper ground like that.

I agree. There’s something special about visiting old stadiums. Loftus Road is one of them, a it’s compact and close to the field. I like that

I find it incredible to think that anyone could think he'd go to Man City.

You’re going back to your old ways Tony, please stop

claptrappers_union

At the end of your playing career though, what have got to show for it? You played with and against a load of players no one has heard of against teams no one can pronounce in front of a few thousand at some local sports centre.

It’s like signing for a team in Scotland

claptrappers_union

I was hoping to see Ings at Manchester City, but I think Villa is a great move for him.

claptrappers_union

They’re really going for it.

claptrappers_union

It was one of the first stands to include heating... it was used only once though I believe.

claptrappers_union

Most recent was Phil Bardsley I think, didn't his contract expire before signing a new one?

claptrappers_union

Funny, now that Daz is leaving, I can't imagine them bothering with a programme now. He took a lot of pride in them

Did they not wish that on burnley years ago ?

Some take far too seriously, and personally. If I meet a rival fan and they start going down that road, I just tell I’m I’m not interested in any of that and ask them a boring question of stadium redevelopment or something. They soon walk away

claptrappers_union

When does it stop though? Chucking another £35m just to cover costs is mental.

claptrappers_union

It’s in Mike Rigg thread

claptrappers_union

Serious question. Would you want them to completely fold or keep them where they are knowing that we might play them again at some stage in the future. Burnley Football Club is an important part of my life and I’d be devastated to see it taken away from me, I’ve seen my Bury supporting friends go t...

Daz is a top, top bloke.

I worked with him since 2007 and has been brilliant. It frustrated me when I used to read the criticism of him on the messageboard because those posters don’t know how good he was at his job. Went above and beyond every time.

I wish him the best

I would love to have a 'Firsts, Lasts and Record Breakers' section - listing all the firsts and lasts in Burnley's history. The chronological list also includes important milestones, formation of Division Two, World War One, Premier League formation, Champions League re-shuffle, VAR introduction, Co...

That's surprising considering the advertising revenue to be made from them. I'd have thought ALK would have wanted them up as soon as possible to increase revenues.

It's to do with the shipping and installation I believe. The current big screen will be operational until the new ones arrive.

claptrappers_union

The Big Screens won't be installed for another few months

I have an iPad from 2010, (iPad 2 I think) I use it for Netflix in bed, it’s the only app that works on it now. Certainly got my money’s worth from it.

claptrappers_union

All the wiring is in, won’t be ready for the friendly, but will be in place for the Brighton game.

claptrappers_union

I didn’t realise it was the bookies who chose the winners. Spoilers

claptrappers_union

I preferred last seasons. Winning at Anfield made that one an instant classic. I can see what they’ve tried to do, but it a poor homage in my opinion.

claptrappers_union

With all due respect I think the women would struggle against the U23s. Wre'd be better off switching the first team to play Tranmere on Saturday who are scheduled to play the U23s. I mean’t it as a sarky comment. I watched them against Manchester United in their version of the FA Cup. Seriously, i...

The club are really proud of the programme. It’s much better than some produced by the other clubs.
