[Archived] A Break With Tradition

Recommended Posts

So the scene is set, we beat Pompey to secure a premiership place for next season and then its back to the packed pubs around Ewood to watch Reading put the first nail in burnleys play off coffin.

What a good day that would be:

“I NEVER FELT MORE LIKE SINGING THE BLUES………”

Can see quite a few rumbles in surrounding towns too....

Burnley still not fully sold out for today (from the mouth of a Burnley fan going)

Must be some mistake surely, the biggest and best supported club in the world can't sell out for the semi final of the play offs.......

COME ON READING, we'll be watching!

Just a side note but where the hell were the blades fans at Deepdale yesterday evening...loads of empty seating? :unsure:

I just hope to god non of these teams ever have the front to mock our support!

Strange one that, didn't they have 7000 at Crystal Palace last week???

I thought that about the blades fans too.

I guess maybe they are saving their cash for the ridiculous prices IF they get to Wembley? Probably falls before a lot of peoples next pay day. Still a very poor following though regardless.

I've heard that the away goals rule has been scrapped in the play-offs. Instead there is to be a complex formula applied should the teams finish level after 180 minutes. Something involving the number of tickets sold, the average attendances in 1984, the number of fans who travel to away games on a Tuesday in November and the the number of minutes tickets are on sale before 37% have been sold.

Although, to be fair, I've also heard that all this is irrelevant to everyone except a few geeky internet weirdos who are bored with their lives and the route one football they pay to watch.

Sit back tonight, furtively count the empty seats and enjoy a footballing masterclass.

:lol: :lol: You're not even in the same league as us yet. You've only got a 1 in 4 chance of getting through...and then there's the small batter of beating us for the first time in 30 odd years whilst trying your best not to do a Derby County at the same time. Hold your horses...

Your signature has a goal against us in a match that we still won. That says everything.

Think it's live on Sky Sports. kick off 5:20. Enjoy.

Thank you kindly sir! I don't care what the rest of our lot on here think I will be rooting for Burnley in this one. I want them up in the PL and with us looking like staying put now, I look forward to a renewal of the old (but friendly ) rivalry. Verbal insults being the only things thrown. :)

EDIT: I will probably get an avalanche of those coming my way any time now from our lot on here. ;)

Cheers Fife, I am sure you won't be the only one, but still brave of you to admit it on here.

Burnley didn't really deserve to win that, but Reading were crap. If they play like that in the next leg then Burnley will easily reach the final.

And a sending off. That was the same defender that gave away the penalty, what a disgrace he is.

Burnley didn't deserve that they were crap and looked a bag of nerves.....only half time folks.

Don Goodman..."well its took untill the 89th minute,but we finally have an atmosphere!"

BTW Samdingle, your a one off indeed...a Burnley fan who doesn't like to shout off about how they are the best supported club in the world?!? :lol:
