I imagine it will be another 6 point deduction, reduced to 3 points due to their cooperation, reduced to 1 point or possibly just a fine on appeal. None story.
Corruption is encouraged by the premier league for certain clubs.

RickyBobby

Everton set to get a point, Forest getting 3 (plus 2 more added when they have their appeal hearing). Even if we win this I think that is just about us done. Clubs like Fulham and Newcastle are on the beach now. The clubs above us will start to pick up more and more points. Fun idea whilst it lasted...

RickyBobby

You’d surely just empty the stand rather than abandon. Would be harsh but would make more sense Depends. Could it come off and go into another stand, hit a player, a ball boy? Things aren’t worth the risks these days. If it comes off and someone gets hurt, spectator or someone who is at work either...

Looking at that I think they will abandon this at half time. That could fall and kill someone.
How does this happen? What kind of state are we in where the ground is falling to bits right?

A strut in the roof has come lose and is dangling dangerously. My son in law is sat near it and sent a picture

If that is true this could be abandoned.

So have we taken the reduced allocation? Seems odd given the distance & what potentially could be riding on it.

If we lose the next few it will be the correct decision, if we win the next few it will be the wrong decision.

RickyBobby

I can see us staying up on the last day just for the premier league to give forest a couple of points back a few days later to relegate us. The premier league is pure corruption hiding in plain site. Everyone knows it, but the media lap it up as it pays for their big houses, flash cars and offensive...

This plan is more accurate

RickyBobby

The club seem to think we are like Tottenham and Arsenal and that they can charge what they want. They really are out of touch with the town and club. Scrapping the early bird and raising prices by the amounts mentioned would lead to thousands not renewing and meaning they would generate less overal...

RickyBobby

As likely as not, we'll be competing with Bolton again next term. And possibly Stevenage as well. We have just drawn with Wet Spam away, get real! You think because we drew away at west ham we are now going to stay up? Deluded. I hope stevenage do come up, would be a good away day on the train down...

Too many people complain about the lack of experience in our team & the only way to let players get the experience is to play them, I trust VK to be doing the right thing for long term improvement. Having a team full of inexperienced players does not mean all players will gain experience. Take any ...

RickyBobby

The greatest blessing is the midfield of Berge and Cullen which is probably the best midfield duo we will ever have in the Championship if both are with us There is no way on earth that VK will play a 28 year old and a 26 year old together in our midfield next season! You know how much he hates exp...

RickyBobby

We are extremely unlikely to ever have white shorts again due to the issues with the women's team wearing white shorts. From what I gather that is why we have had blue this season, and the club for whatever reason don’t want the mens and womens kits to be different. Burnley wearing white shorts is n...

How “good” the premier league is isn’t based on the league at all. The premier league is ranked on how well it’s clubs do in Europe. A salary cap in any form means english clubs will lose out to European clubs and will do worse in Europe, thus the premier league will be ranked “worse” and viewers in...

RickyBobby

The ALK strategy is to buy a load of kids, and only kids, when they become good sell them on and pocket the profit. If that doesn’t work then assest strip. They are in this to make money and they will do that. If that means the clubs gets liquidated then so what? Why should they care! They are busin...

You just know they'll get 4 points deducted on the second charge, making this whole thing a farce.

4 points reduced to 2 on appeal? Whatever they do on appeal it will always be roughly halved.

RickyBobby

Always going to happen. The old “they are guilty, but not THAT guilty”. If they had been deducted 6 points to start with it would have been reduced to 3. If it had been 20 it would have gone to around 10. They were always going to roughly halve the punishment as that is what they always do. It is a ...

If ticket prices were affordable trains would be even more overcrowded. When they decimated the railways to it’s current skeleton network it limited growth. One reason why train fares are high is to suppress demand so they don’t have to buy bigger trains and build new railways.

Same in the Jimmy Mac lower.

RickyBobby

Large group of Arsenal fans in the Jimmy Mac lower corporate area. It is common to get away fans in there but this is the most I have ever seen today, must have been 20 or so. Celebrating after every goal, talking very loudly too, stuck out with their accents. Stewards didn’t give a f. What actually...

We will have more international competitions for both clubs and country's as that is where the money is, not less. Over the next few decades I expect the league cup to suffer and a least the clubs in Europe not being in it, and the premier league to drip to 18 or even 16 teams like in Germany and Po...

RickyBobby

I have to say I don't much care for international football. Doesn’t matter what actual football fans think, it is all about what people in the far east and America want. If they can make more money by having more international games and more European games at the expense of domestic games then they...

RickyBobby

Due to one thing and another, I haven't been to a game for ages but was eyeing up the West Ham game as it should be fairly easy to get to from Norwich, but what would be my chances of getting a ticket on the General Sale? Will they have all gone before they get on General Sale? You’ll easily be abl...

What time does the store open? If the car park is for customers only and the store doesn't open until 6 am then unfortunately they can claim you are not allowed to park on the car park when the store is closed (as technically you can't be a customer until after 6) Depends what the signage around th...

If that is a foul we might has well pack up and go home.
They won’t stop until football is basically netball.

According to the BBC today, 'Chelsea accepted a £31.5million bid from Burnley for Maatsen in the summer but he did not want to make the move' He didn’t want to come as he thought he was better then he was. Seems like many on here think the same. If he is so great defensively, why are Chelsea sendin...

No one with an experience would come to Burnley where they will have to work hard, especially when there is a chance to go to warmer climates like Greece and turkey and play against pub teams!

RickyBobby

It's not, I know someone who argued with a steward because they were stood in an aisle way and couldn't get in their seat and head stewards came and after much apologising the problem was solved, the next home game the lad was stopped at the turnstile and had his season ticket taken off him and acc...

RickyBobby

The turning point was when Zeki missed that golden change just before they scored their first goal. 100% this. Missed a similar one against Fulham. In the games against the top sides you have to get these on target. We had a chance and missed, a few mins later they had one and scored. That is the d...

RickyBobby

Pace et al. are doing all they can to distance themselves and the club from the fans. This is what American owners do, try to destroy 150 years of english tradition, alienate the fans, then when things go wrong blame the fans and insist everything would fix itself if we all had a drum. Utterly cluel...

They aren’t even sock nowadays, they are split at the ankle. It is all some weird fashion thing. Same for these tiny shinpads and wearing your socks or whatever they are down at the ankles, both started by Grealish. Football is a fashion parade played by spoilt w@nkers these days. They have to out d...

Other then the first few games he hasn‘t done much. No idea what he brings to the side.

RickyBobby

We’ve scored too early. We will sit back now and they will throw everything at us. We aren‘t good enough to sit back. We have to go all out for a second to have any chance.

Received my tickets in the post today even though I put to collect.
Saved myself £1 I suppose, but how are they still making these mistakes?

Apperntly not , I had the same problem with burgerKing who could not refund there mistake took nearly a month to get a resolution , I got vouchers for twice the amount not a great way to do business and it was my persistance that got it rather than them sorting it out Two wrongs don‘t make a right....

What I would like to see is if any player goes down holding their head, they should leave the field for a minimum of 5 minutes to be properly assessed.

RickyBobby

Liverpool will end up being the victims (again).

RickyBobby

If the club are saying they “can’t do refunds” then they are breaking the law. When you pay you have made a contract with them and they have to provide the items. If they can’t provide the service then a refund should be an option.
The way they are operating isn’t just amateur, it is illegal.

RickyBobby

They are always away fans in the corporate area in the Jimmy Mac lower. I don’t think the club cares about who is in the stands as long as they are getting money out of them. Minimum stewards, minimum police and away fans in the stand means more money.

RickyBobby

I looked at northern rails but it looks like they are striking? Is that common? Manchester has a tram that gets you from the airport to Piccadilly then it looks like the x43 would get me to burnley. Can i buy tickets there or do ineed to do it online ahead of time? They have not announced strikes f...

Avanti, to be fair, had the franchise support payment (the money given by the government to support loss making services) cut by 70% when winning the franchise bidding process. There isn't a passenger rail franchise that makes a profit without government revenue support! And no passenger rail servi...

Are all tickets digital?
I put to collect and won‘t be able to pick them up until the Everton game if they actually are waiting for me!

Since avanti took over from virgin prices have shot up. They have the monopoly from the north west down to London so can charge what they want. I always go across to Halifax/Leeds and use Grand central or LNER. Always miles cheaper and doesn‘t take any longer since you have to change stations in Man...

Feel as though he could still be useful for us, at least from the bench. When leading games we could do with his experience in there.

Thought he was fantastic today.

RickyBobby

I was thinking couldn‘t they just walk down and hand it in at the ticket office?
Then again the ticket office would probably lose it, and then they would charge an administration fee for a new one.

RickyBobby

Usually very inept, but sometimes it's just bad luck. Altrincham one season lost virtually all their points for fielding an ineligible player all season long. They had signed him from Accrington Stanley and he hadn't had international clearance. (Not a joke. Before Accrington signed him, he had pla...

Stopped going to the old one years ago as it became a dilapidated dump.
