I thought the point was that you're sat with an official to stop that happening.

Yep, no requirement for season ticket details. Another success for our egalitarian ticketing system.

I watched the first half of the NFL game last night. As it was pretty one-sided I didn't bother with the second half and watched a film instead. When the film finished the American Football was still going on with interminable delays for challenges, video reviews, timeouts, etc If a system can be im...

It certainly looked like Defour was coming out to the edge of the box to cut out that short corner routine they were doing. We only had one man (Gray) trying to cut out the short corner which meant they could play it short easily.

I need to decide whether I'll get the bus to this one or just walk it.

An interesting thing looking at those stats is the goals per game (for and against) For Against Sean Dyche: 1.44 0.82 Owen Coyle: 1.44 1.39 Brian Laws: 1.55 1.32 Stan Ternent: 1.33 1.53 Eddie Howe: 1.40 1.40 Steve Cotterill: 1.03 1.07 Dyche scoring at the same rate as Coyle is a bit surprising (but ...

I have a NowTV box with PLEX and it has the lot, all Burnley live games are on there which is why I got it for the away games. £75 for 2 years service. Anything you want to watch, if it`s available (which it usually is) you can ask via Facebook and it will get added. My son watched Hacksaw Ridge la...

Since the Euro is currently trading at the same rate as its average for 2013, then you're no worse off. Because I can only assume that when the Euro rate rose in 2014 and 2015, you received exceptionally generous pay rises when the company was doing well? Although the dollar is at its worse for a l...

So my question still stands. How bad were the Tories before the EU reined them in? The way I'm reading what you've put, you're under the belief that the Tories are suddenly going to do away with the majority of workers rights that have been introduced over the years. Personally I don't think they'l...

I think part of the issue is that US series will be screened over there first and then here a month, maybe a year, after (or not at all). That was fine in years gone by but now it's easy to see when shows are released, read reviews (and spoilers), see when the next series is on, etc. The TV companie...

Basically it's all much of a muchness (first law of thermodynamics). Stuff that works better in terms of making things cold will heat up quicker and take longer to freeze and vice versa. Assuming you have enough freezer space to be rotating three or four cold packs then you want something that doesn...

Most worryingly though, the Sun says "Brexit vision ... is so close to ours we couldn't have written it any better"

aggi

12) Why mention Burnley? Is it because Burnley voted strongly for Brexit? Is it because there have been racial disturbances in the town? Is it because in DH view Burnley fits the "stereo type" of a "white, racist, working class, northern town?" (And, Burnley is not yet a popular, established Premie...

"Burnley fans are elephants" - Rowls

I like this new idea of quotes where you can make them up.

If there is one reason why we have to stay up this season it's so that I don't have to listen to Clarets Player again.

About 30 minutes into their inane chat my girlfriend asked me how I knew what was happening in the match as they barely seemed to be talking about what was happening on the pitch.

aggi

I agree broadly with your facts although the current wave of immigration from accession states started in 2000ish so I'd love to know who knows where they'll spend their retirement unless all those Polish construction workers were in their mid-60s when they arrived. That is true, I was basing it on...

aggi

You're right in your sarcasm. You're not answering the point because it was about "uncontrolled" migration. But I'm sure you feel better for letting us know your view on something other than Ringo's point. I assumed, as it was in the middle of a discussion about the UK and the EU, that Ringo was re...

aggi

You can have a welfare state. You can have mass uncontrolled immigration. You CANNOT have both...... Indeed. If you have an ageing population (the recipients of most of the welfare) what you don't want is immigrants coming into the country, being net contributors to the economy and then heading off...

UK > EU trade = £5.9 billion p.a EU > UK trade = = £12.6 billion p.a I can't imagine many EU businesses being happy at not only losing that trade but having to pay WTO tariffs to try and regain access...

It will probably equally come down to how much people from Eastern European countries want to come and work over here.

There's a whole load of exploitation that has barely been touched. The next model will be PPV/subscription internet viewing.

aggi

In terms of wage caps, it is worth bearing mind that the past few years have shown that our wages are very much incentive based with significant bonuses for wins, league position, final position, etc. A £30k cap or £50k cap or whatever will only be the start. There's also going to be image rights de...

aggi

It's possible they may be showing significant cash reserves and the club have decided to hold them until after the transfer window. We're still a selling club, it's just that we have the ability to push for better deals nowadays as we're not desperate for the money (which is obviously a much better ...

aggi

I assume the issue is that the ticket needs to be sold by the ticketing system before it can be scanned, hence why CT says the turnstiles don't have the facility to sell tickets. The obvious way round is to "sell" batches of tickets internally to be provided to the turnstiles and then credit the unu...

aggi

The turnstiles no longer have that facility - all set up for the card/bar code access with the new system in 2014. What facility are they missing? When I worked on the turnstiles you were given a pile of tickets and a float. You took the cash, handed over the ticket and change, stood on a footpedal...

aggi

I use kodi and the add-in, works fine. Available on Android, don't know about Apple.

aggi

So why can't the turnstile operators have a pile of tickets, sell them, scan them and hand them over?

I assume it's because they don't think the turnstile operators are capable of handling cash (or don't trust them).

aggi

Out of curiosity, which other players have Burnley fans sung the slightly ludicrous "You let your country down" at?
Cahill, Smalling, Kane, Lallana, Henderson, Sturridge (although he was probably injured when we played them), Rooney (think he was injured too), etc?

aggi

Is the Corporate area in the Jimmy Mac stand now used as corporate? It wasn't for many years but it did look like it had something in it when I was last looking (albeit from the Cricketfield).

aggi

Calum Chambers seems to be back on track now as well, he's still only 21. A few decent, young English centre halves knocking around at the moment.

aggi

Wages were pretty significant at Bournemouth. When they got promoted their wage bill was pretty similar to what ours would have been last year (bearing in mind that we had come down from the Premier League with parachute payments). However, other clubs (Derby, cough) have done the same with little s...

aggi

It looks like he's taken over from Keane as the young, English centre half who is being linked with half the Premier League for this transfer window.

Given they only have 94%, if all the other shareholders so desire they could force a shareholders' meeting. I imagine that would be difficult in reality though.

The Trust (read this quickly, it might not be here long) were buying up shares a few years back in an attempt to have some influence.

Virgin seem to be having some issues at the moment with "over utilisation" causing huge slowdowns in peak times. Not sure whether it's due to signing too many people up, the free speed upgrades, changing usage habits or what. Personally I get full 150Mbps regardless of the time but I know other peop...

aggi

I don't think that's the way to go. And i don't think forcing companies to have a maximum wage is either. I think a smarter tax system would perhaps be a start and can be used to effectively raise wages among the lowest paid and/or lowering the wages of the highest paid. Tie corporation tax to the ...

aggi

If Bournemouth were to get relegated in 2 / 3 seasons (which is certainly not beyond anyone's imagination) will they survive as a club? They offer bigger wages than us, and fork out more on transfer fees, but only have a tiny stadium capacity. They might have a wealthy owner, but with FFP, they hav...

We were a team on the up at that point as well, enjoying ourselves and playing at grounds/a level we hadn't been to for years.

Hull are despondent, protesting against their board and a bit more familiar with semi-finals and premier league grounds.

The easy way to redistribute wealth is bump up inheritance tax to significant levels. A £500k exempt amount followed by 95% tax would sort it within a few generations. There'd also be the added bonus of more properties on the market as they were sold to pay the taxes. Obviously to implement this you...

Given the club can internally transfer you to the ticket hotline without you being charged they could probably run a non-charging line in parallel, although they may have to bear the cost. I imagine Ticketzone are sharing in the revenue from that premium line and a major issue is negotiating a new d...

I think it is 18 months. It seems that Hull had an option to extend his contract by a year and have exercised that, even though he doesn't want to stay.

Players always get better when they're not actually playing for us though.

He's earning ~ £140k a year at the moment, he may manage to save some of that.

It's less about money (well, it's FIFA, it's still a lot about money) and more courting favour from the smaller FAs. If you want to expand your powerbase then you need to get as many as the FAs as possible onside and Benin's vote is worth the same as Spain's. Expanding the World Cup to 48 will find ...

Given that it would cost £100m or so to buy Hull then we'd probably be a good buy, if the directors were willing to sell. We're fairly well placed in terms of a yo-yo club, the Premier League/parachute money is coming in, we've got a reasonable chance of staying up/going back up, debt-free, reasonab...

I used to do some spread betting which worked out pretty well at times.
