Always Burnley for me but isn't the question going to be biased towards Burnley simply by asking it on a club forum?

I work in the parcel delivery industry for a rival company. During the boom in lockdown money was good and some fantastic people were recruited to drive and sort as Internet shopping really took off.Nowadays the job is pretty much minimum wage and the workload is even heavier.My union is currently i...

We buy any car do knock prices down for scratches or rust but don't inspect the car mechanically. I recently sold one with a worn cambelt and broken oil pump,failed o2 sensors, worn brake discs and pads,faulty steering and suspension and 1 day left mot for a good price.The buyer just ran the engine ...

I work with a lot of PNE,Liverpool, Blackpool and Rovers fans.I also meet fans of clubs from all over the country. Their different perspectives of football especially about us is fantastic and one of the best things about being a fan.I am always impressed that fans of other clubs have far more in co...

I love the club with a passion like everyone here,ST holders or not and when I was young I could have told you names,positions,heights, weights etc but now I've no chance.There is just too much other important stuff to cram into my overloaded brain instead. Or maybe I'm just getting old...

I've sat with the same group in front,behind, left and right for years.I barely know their names,what they do or where they are from but for a couple of hours every 2 weeks or so I can honestly say I enjoy their company. Whatever their opinions we are all there for the same thing I hope and we are a...

I came off the game feeling more positive about the new season than before it. We didn't look like rabbits in the headlights. Some of our players will make the step up easily. It's going to be a fun season. The sooner we gel the higher we finish. The fans in the CFS are outnumbered maybe 2 to 1 and ...

BigAlClaret

I'm not offended,outraged or overexcited in the slightest.Like probably a large number of people, I'm more than happy just to wait and see.

BigAlClaret

I think we all agree there needs to be competition for places.So Muric vs Trafford vs Vigouroux is a good thing.If any player doesn't like that they wouldn't have joined or will leave.Its healthy for the club and may even make money on future transfer fees. Football has been this way for a long time...

I tried and failed with my first pair.I found it impossible to follow football:I just couldn't anticipate where the ball was going and it seemed to bend in mid air.Eventually I figured them out and with the right pair it's become second nature

My worry is that Lukashenko will use Wagner to attack Ukraine from the north.

If Wagner can rattle the Kremlin so easily I don't think they will be readily controlled by Lukashenko.If anything we may be looking at his new masters

When you still think about your child, you are still a dad and always will be.A truly unimaginable loss.

BigAlClaret

I tell my young daughter she can be anything she chooses when she grows up. It's no longer a man's world. If a woman can shortly set foot on the moon then managing a men's football team should be a walk in the park. Diversity of thought would suggest female managers could actually bring something ne...

All very well but we "only" took 23 points off the bottom 6 in the Championship this year.We will need them from anywhere possible next season.

As I've grown and learned I have changed my thinking on many things with new perspectives but never this:

Every 5th car driving at night with front fog lights on(deliberately switched on as running lights go off when headlights are on)
Traffic not keeping left on motorways or any multiple lane system regardless of speed or traffic.
Are you sure I can only have 2 gripes? 200 would be fairer.

Without getting involved in the rights or wrongs of the BBC's football coverage issues, if it is not resolved soon is it possible the match may not be broadcast at all?I am unable to attend next Saturday so a live match is my only consolation. If it is shown would it be simply pictures and crowd noi...

BigAlClaret

Sorry yes the Chelsea picture.It was an article about him possibly signing a new contract then returning to us next season. It's just an old stock photo probably used all over the Web.

BigAlClaret

Same photo was used on Sunday by the Sun.

I too worry about the financial implications of 2 trips to Wembley. If I could even take the family to 1 would it be a once in a generation trip to the semi knowing even if we won I would struggle to afford a truly historical and otherwise unmissable final or miss the semi and wait for an unlikely f...

The fans don't necessarily stay longer by choice.It really does take an age to empty the CFS.I find it worthwhile to hang back and enjoy the interaction between the team and fans.Maybe this unintentionally prevents overcrowding when leaving but it's great to see regardless. Even Neil Warnock got in ...

Play like yesterday and it will be more like 12

BigAlClaret

Fans have 1 entrance/exit only. This reduces available home capacity considerably. Sharing the stand as we do reduces safe capacity of the entire stand hence why hundreds of empty seats are visible. Exactly where people sit either in their own seat or with friends is irrelevant. The behaviour in the...

BigAlClaret

The problems with the CFS are not so much to do with fan behaviour, drug abuse and hooliganism as some would have you believe but more to prevent overcrowding with one exit only and a packed concourse.More people could potentially increase any risk to unacceptable levels.Also yesterday queues to the...

I went in JM hospitality earlier this year and found the dress code a lot more relaxed than stated on the paperwork. Some people were wearing jeans but generally as long as you don't wear sportswear, club colours or logos or white trainers you should be fine.

I love the CFS despite its faults and enjoy the atmosphere there in the league.Last year vs Spurs in the League Cup we were all unable to claim our own seat so I found myself sat with strangers which slightly diminished my own matchday experience.Against Huddersfield in the FA Cup seeing further res...

I'm sure CT meant Manolo Gabbiadini.After a long away trip Saturday an early Sunday morning typo is forgiven.
Hopefully this signing will up the firepower ever more to reach the PL asap BTW.

Absolutely spine tingling. How special Burnley Football Club were for the whole world to see

My 18 year old son in CFS has gone from 95 to 145 which is still one of the cheapest tickets in the ground for him but under 18s have jumped to 135 making it one of the most expensive for that group.

Not at all, aren't there three Premier League clubs supposedly made offers for him? Nixon linked us with him a few weeks ago but I've not picked anything up on that since although Coventry have said he's going nowhere. I was impressed with him on Saturday. I too was very impressed with him and woul...

The picked is the same as our ninja and its actually very easy to master.

If you intend to keep your car for a few years it's worth considering whether a full service is really worthwhile financially. I bought my car at 2 years old and had it 5 years now and plan to keep it a while yet.Its service history is incomplete but the car is very well maintained. Depreciation of ...

Going to the match yesterday I thought priority must be a left-sided centre half to replace Taylor. Our sideways passing was just too slow at the back so too few attacks were actually being created to outweigh the obvious defensive risks.A ball playing defender would massively reduce the pressure we...

I saw him lead the community singing at Wembley for the Challenge Cup Final in 1988 in front of 80 or 90 thousand people.As a football fan at a rugby league game it was the highlight of my day.Simply unforgettable. A childhood legend. Rest in peace,Bernard.

Wasn't it rumoured a few weeks ago by Nixon that should McNeil leave then Burnley would make a move for Jason Knight?

Some may argue Tarkowski has been a fantastic servant to the club and a superb defender. Without doubt he has played a major part in our success and will rightly be remembered as a great player for us.However with my own eyes I have seen several mistakes this season that have cost us goals and games...

I've just noticed tickets for the CFS are being sold from the outside blocks first then working the way towards the centre.This is the opposite way round to the Spurs game so presumably lots of people (myself included) will wait as long as possible to buy in the hope of getting a better view. How th...

After missing so much football due to the pandemic I would hope not many would take for granted being able to go on the Turf.It's been great to be back on matches even with the start we've had. Yesterday was fantastic to witness a live win for the first time in a very long time. In the Cricket Field...

I didn't realise that anybody who wanted to sit in the seat that they had paid for perhaps with people they knew nearby would be considered 'precious '

I regularly sit in the CFS and I find the supporters there no different to any elsewhere in the ground. If anyone thinks otherwise maybe this club is more divided than I ever realised..

I know he's injured but are we still in for Jason Knight possibly?

BigAlClaret

I could see how people would think he looked Mediterranean once with his dark hair and thick moustache. Dave was a Clitheroe lad but did frequent Whalley pubs often especially in the 1980s
