Brilliant New Burnley Podcast

[dandeclaret]

Tweeted the lads about this one, but one of the biggest curse stories is about the Mayo Gaelic Football team, who reportedly failed to show respect to a funeral as they returned from winning the 1951 all Ireland Football in Dublin. The priest who was leading the funeral procession supposedly put a curse on the team, saying that Mayo wouldn't win an all Ireland Final whilst any of the players on that team were still alive.

We're now 73 years further on, and Mayo haven't won another All Ireland, despite usually being amongst the favourites to win, and have lost the last 11 finals they have contested. There's only a couple of the 1951 team still alive.... I hope for their sake Mayo win one very soon.

A curse is indeed a curse if those who were cursed believe it. Suspect that is the case in Ireland.

Great story.

This week's episode features surprising optimism about the Brentford game followed by an interview with fan-engagement expert (and former Burnley head of marketing) Ed Abis

[jlup1980]

Some interesting comments on the podcast today guys. We have scored a lot of own goals this season. Fan engagement has been poor. We aren't Universal Studios, but we should be gathering information from supporters about how match days are going and what will get people through the turnstiles earlier and / or spending their hard eared cash at the Turf. It's more than just pies

The comments about the season tickets was spot on too. If they increase the price and reduce the number of months you can pay the DD over it'll go down like a lead balloon. Hopefully they're just knocking the DD into the next financial year, with the intention of starting the payments in April. They've still got to get a move on in order to make that happen though.

Another great episode. Thanks lads

To be fair to the owners the club seems to be doing a lot more season ticket surveys now than ever before. The email about the drum being one example.

Whether things take on board a weight of opinion from fans, we will have to wait and see, but they do at least ask the question.

I've had about 3 surveys this year about my match day experience, does everyone not get one of these?

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Great interview. Hopefully the club was listening.

Nope I’ve not had one

[forzagranata]

Special limited edition 'victory' episode is out now....

[forzagranata]

New 'Season Ticket' episode is out now.

[forzagranata]

Chelsea episode online now. Justin reports from the away end at Stamford Bridge.....

[jdrobbo]

The positivity is infectious. The fact that Andrew had to take the day off to sellotape (and stickyback) his salvaged wall chart, is something that ought to be taken very seriously.

[Father Jack]

Strange to be actually looking forward to listening in the last few weeks but great to hear some optimism. Chelsea (a) was a moral victory.
Can’t wait to be back on the Turf tonight - haven’t said that all season!

[Murger]

What a nice change to listen to an upbeat podcast. Hopefully, it’s more of the same.

[HahaYeah]

Great podcast this, really enjoying it.

The Chelsea tune is called 'Liquidator'. It's a great tune tbf.

[Chester Perry]

Todays episode is only playing the intro tune across the platforms I have tried

[dandeclaret]

If you go to the twitter post, there's a link on there that will play it all the way through. I had the same issue as you originally in apple podcasts, and spotify...

Can you link the post - not on twitter and Elon makes it impossible to access the latest post just giving me random posts from the account

[dandeclaret]

https://pod.link/1688380656/episode/5b8 ... 1cec0fef10 - this should be it

that is the page I usually go to and I have the same problem there too - just the intro music

Looks like it might be cached - CTRL and F5 (or the refresh arrow on phone) might clear it. The link for me now definitely has the 33:05 podcast link.

[louieollie]

Proper look forward to listening to this brilliant podcast every episode, in fact I can honestly say it's been instrumental in getting me out n about on my trotters racking up those steps and shedding a stone and a half! ..........let's get it on the NHS

The chemistry between the lads is gold, not too much optimism but plenty of sarcastic realism mixed with doom n gloom .......love it chaps proper clarets fans

[forzagranata]

It should be ok now.

No idea what has happened (was the same for me earlier) but it seems to be fine now.

[PJMOZ]

Nope….still only 25 seconds here n Australia Deleted and redownloaded and same issue!

There is a 'rogue' version on Spotify. You need to make sure you are following the original account.

If you click on this link it should take you to the right one.

done that several times - rebooted several times, best I have got is showing time of 33 minutes then when I play it does the intro music before seamlessly leaping straight to the Chelsea debrief episode - this was on apple everywhere else I still get the intro music only

That's weird. That's a direct link to the MP3 and should give you a 30MB, 33 minutes MP3.

What do you get if you open it in an incognito window or download it?

[Chester Perry]

got a window with the 25 second title music burst - also tried the download option and got the same

[CoolClaret]

25 seconds for me as well on every link I've seen posted on here / X

[clarethomer]

I have seen them providing instructions on what to do on X but I just listened on apple podcasts instead this week.

Was another good episode

[louieollie]

Plays like a dream on Amazon music

[Chester Perry]

I have tried Apple, Amazon, Spotify and several others with no joy

Try this

that is my usual go to for this pod - still only get the 25 seconds I am sorry to say

[Goody1975]

Have you clicked on the play icon next to the episode number, rather than trying to go through a podcast host e.g. Spotify?



That works fine for me

If that link isn't working for you then it's probably some issue with your system, I'd guess your media player maybe played a cached version.

This is definitely the right file and isn't saved with any other episode

That link works, the rest are still the same - even when opened on different browsers.

Strange one!

Thank you - yes this is working for me - huzzah!!

and thanks to everyone who has offered their assistance, your kindness and efforts were very much appreciated

[forzagranata]

Everton de-brief is out now. Hopefully without any of last week's glitches.

Also keep an eye out for a rare Wednesday episode dropping this week - an interview with football finance analyst Kieran Maguire who takes a broad overview of what the club's accounts mean.

everything fine for me today Simon

Looking forward to this one. From the outside it feels like things are far from rosey.

I get the feeling Pace bet the ranch after appointing Vincent Kompany and got lucky. He then went "double or quits" last summer thinking VK would continue on an upward trajectory. I genuinely don't think he factored in relegation happening this season so who knows where that leaves us financially.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Liked today's episode especially the analysis of much of our front four playing out of position inexplicably for the last 2 winless games.

All through the season I've called Vincent, who I like a lot, the Tinkerman Reborn. An affliction of many clever, but not as clever as they think, people. He cannot resist a fiddle and it has cost us a lot over the season. He has to learn. Saying that though, I am still behind him.

Interesting thought

[jlup1980]

Interesting thought

I'm probably miles off but that's just my take on it.

Mission To Burnley showed we took greater financial risks than Pace expected in Kompany's first transfer window, unless that was for the cameras. We then saw meetings where Kompany seemed to be telling the Board how much they'd need to spend in the PL to be successful.

I just get the feeling that Pace was suckered in by the media praise and general "love-in" for Kompany. The weird comment about dating the most beautiful girl in town was just odd, really odd. He fell for Kompany hook, line and sinker and I genuinely don't think Pace thought he could lose.

After suggesting they were flummoxed by it they went onto explain it quite well. Quite simply he replaced Amdouni with Odobert because he simply can't accept he is wrong. Odobert did quite well against Wolves and actually did break the lines once or twice but not against Everton.

Like many elite players before him he can't accept that lesser players cannot do what elite players do so he makes the same mistakes over and over. He's not the first manager who was an elite player who did well in the Championship or Scottish Premiership and then struggled in the PL.

We can't afford the kind of players he needs to play like that ......! Or if we can it's mavericks like Defour who are older and do not fit the ALK model.

[ClaretPete001]

Just imagine Berge sitting in with Defour breaking from the middle - Odobert and JBL out wide and Fofana and Foster running the channels. Everton fans wouldn't be crowing about Branthwaite that's for sure...
