[Archived] Burnley Home Game

[imy9]

Nah. If you look at the table, it's the thirty three years which doesn't mean anything.

The three games are all that count now.

Points.. then goal difference.. then goals scored. What you did last year, 10 years ago or 33 years ago won't be much use.

Your time's up. Move along.

Did not realise the season ended after three games, Hull are in the Champions league I take it

I think you'll find what matters is what happens after 38 games .

I am confident in saying that going into January Burnley will be in the bottom 3.

Ha! You wish Sam. Sooner rather than later you'll reach the top of the mountain, then you'll begin the descent. A couple of loses on the bounce should do it. A loss of confidence. Teams can't keep missing penalties against you. Still we can hardly blame you, you may as well get it in while you can. Make the most of it.

[SamDingle]

Forgot something else too.. I saw Kalinic on MotD this morning.

Oh. My. God.

Hull. One swallow does not make a summer. Come back in May. Until then, jog on

All that matters is the table come next May. You have some useful points on the board - to be honest I will be more than happy if we beat United and Everton. However - I struggle to remember a time when the opposition have missed penalties against us in successive matches. Enjoy your luck while it lasts - if you are really lucky you may hang on like Hull did last season - but it is a long hard season.

Oh. My. God.

Shouldn't you be watching Big Brother? Quent.

Thats by my reckoning 17500 home fans.

Considering you are freshly promoted, theres a massive feel good factor, youre the media darlings, youve had reems and reems of free publicity, you were playing a famous old club like Everton, you play 'superb' football, you still brought in a gate that would be considered poor by Rovers standards.

Yep, stand aside blues.

[Shabani]

On a side note it has become quite clear that referees will have no problem giving penalties to Burnley's opponents, they best get used to it because we've been in this league an awful long time and still regularly get stiffed by refs looking to favour 'bigger' clubs

Missed it last night? You weren't out tearing up Tesco were you?

The danger for Burnley is that if they do well this season (and that's a big if) Coyle will be headhunted, and the whole pack of cards will come crashing down. Just a matter of time.

I don't see Pulis and Brown being headhunted.

On another note we could easily still be relegated.

Pains to say it but Bunleh are being effective with what they have , we as per ususual are shooting ourselves in the foot claiming to have a far better team than anybody else without anything to back it up.

All early doors but lets get our own house in order before worrying about handbags and gladrags.

Do you take drugs?

[Hughesy]

Bet you wish the gap was closing now.

Dont worry it will. You are 6 pts infront with a game more played.....Those 6 points will be made up when we beat you both time.

What is it with teams messing up penalties at Turd moor?! About time teams stopped being nice to them.

Pathtic attendance again - Not even full!

30 years...........

I see nothing but truth in his post, and certainly nothing to warrant that response.

[SamDingle]

I hear endless references to 'doing a Hull'. But they stayed up.

Suits me fine.

Quite happy if you do stay up with us ....

[alexanders]

Just came from a Norwegian Derby. I hope you stay up. The Buzz these games makes for supporters, media etc is excellent!

We will beat you and finish above you though

Do you take drugs?

No but I do drink

But your point is......

Its funny but firstly I'm not even sure what the capacity is at the moment. Supposed to be 22500 but there was not a spare ticket to be had for Man U yet the announced attendance was way below this - 20872. Now I'm not engaging in the traditional '100,000 locked out and we'd taken most of the home end' type statements when I say there were no tickets available for Man U - maybe the segregation of the CF stand has lowered capacity, I honestly don't know.

You mention the media coverage etc and do you know that may have gone against us somewhat as a number of people I know didn't even try to get tickets for yesterday because they thought they had no chance, the club need to really improve on getting information out about ticket availability.

Lonsiders, I enjoy your posts but surely you must agree that that is a pathetic excuse for not trying to get a ticket?

If I need a ticket, I go to the ground and buy one. If its sold out they tell me. Simple.

[longsiders1882]

I don't know pedro - its all new to us.

for the last 30 years barring the odd cup game there was never any doubt. Now all the talk is about the paucity of available tickets it almost feels as though people are being told, 'don't even bother trying unless its Portsmouth, Wigan etc'

I'm not saying its a good excuse, just a factor. Playing Sundays may also hit us this season, we simply are not used to it. At the end of the day we are a small club with a huge heart in tiny town. We are never going to get 50,000 on again and if we can average around 20,000 this season I'd be happy enough - that is about 29% of the population of the town of Burnley so not a bad turnout

Behave yourself. Burnley have a much bigger catchment area than we do, all we can count on as pure Rovers is Blackburn and Darwen. You have Nelson, Colne, Padiham, Yorkshire border areas, Bacup, Rawtenstall etc etc. A smaller Asian population (who we know take very little interest in local clubs). if you can't sell 18000 tickets in your best period for nigh on 50 years then we best end these gate conversations now.
