Living in past... check! ? (this is what you call history, not living in the past)

Droning on about attendances... check! ? (not a comment about our superior attendances)

Watching crap football... check! ? (mmm, where do I start)

You're becoming a Dingle circa 1989. You just need the 4th division team and you're there.

What a shoite reply sam. Can you not do better???

Read the last post again and have a rethink on your drivel of a comment. sorry, get your carer to read it again for you then rethink your drivel of a comment...

buy now - rebate later. Maybe the club are hoping that some fans miss the deadline for the rebate and don't manage to claim their money back.

Or don't know what rebate means....

[yorkyclaret]

I was talking to a colleague yesterday, sadly he lives in the dingle area, poor chap. He explained that the 'free' season tickets are not actually 'free', they are subject to a rebate at the end of the season, buy now - rebate later. Maybe the club are hoping that some fans miss the deadline for the rebate and don't manage to claim their money back.

Not entirely true, I think someone posted something like that on claretsmad but just as a joke/bit of misschief. It is true that we have paid for them in advance (in most cases before we were promoted), there is now an article on the official website saying that letters will be sent out shortly to the relevant season ticket holders with the available options, such as full refund or partial refund and a share in the club.

7.30pm on the Beeb Friday night - 'Burnley are Back' presented by Alistair Campbell.

Should imagine they'll run the same programme at the end of the season

[roversmum]

How can they be back when they've never been?

.....meaning, a good bit of emotional blackmail!! I can see the letter already.....

"Dear Zac,

We at Bumley Football Club are writing to you in response to our "free season ticket scam" which came back to bite us in the arse!

Who`d have thought we`d actually get promoted? We certainly didn`t, or else we wouldn`t have come up with this stupid publicity stunt which will inevitably help bankrupt the club.

Bloody stupid Eric Coyle!! We thought we`d signed up yet another useless dobber, but he`s really gone & dumped us in it!!

Anyway, talking of bankrupting the club.....would you actually risk losing the club you love for the price of a measley season ticket? Well would you?

Would you be able to walk down the road with your head held high & our money in your pocket whilst the bailiffs empty your beloved Turd Morgue?

Do you really want that money so much?

.....Or would you do the 'right thing' & forget about this silly publicity stunt we came up with.

We`d really like you to forget our stupidness.

So. Would you please fill in & return this slip to our office (we`d appreciate you using your own envelope, cos we`ve nearly spent up already)

Please tick one othe following....

A....I`m a true Dingle Yorkshireman & a deal is a deal. I want my brass back!!

B....I`d love my brass back, but i feel a bit guilty. Give me half my money back

C....I love smashing my own town up & Bumley FC give me plenty of opportunity to do so. Keep the money & next time don`t be so bloody stupid!!

Thankyou

Agent Kilby

Blimey. The laughs/words ratio is pretty low there, cletus.

7.30pm on the Beeb Friday night - 'Burnley are Back' presented by Alistair Campbell.

Should imagine they'll run the same programme at the end of the season

exactly what i though mate- they must be running this programme 9 -10 months early by mistake.

Sam ignores all facts about:

-attendances check

-trophies check

-derby games check.

and provides yet another, unwitty post- check.

yep- true dingleness proved 100%.

[JAL]

How can they be back when they've never been?

Exactly roversmum.

Lets hope the dont last long and go back to were they belong.

So there have been NO free season tickets and the club are writing to the fans a matter of days before the season starts?

That's right, I understand that the club has been holding on untill we get some of the 'Sky money' at the start of the season.

You need to get yourself a sense of humour then Sam... I actually thought you had one following that load of tripe!

The season ticket fiasco is alienating many supporters, clearly the club have no money to carry out its promise and the locals are not happy. This, coupled with the fiasco that was season ticket sales, will hit them hard in the long run.

Every cloud and all that

Yeah. The general mood around the town, prior to our first season in the top flight for 34 years after a thrilling campaign, a victorious Wembley appearance and attractive football on a shoestring budget is one of despair, anger and frustration.

Or is that just in your head?

I know you hate it Gav. Really hate it. But things are wonderful in Dingle town right now.

Just be happy for us.

I got told today, when Rovers & Bumley play each other this season (both games) The police are wanting the closure of EVERY pub in both towns (& surrounding towns & villages) in an effort to stop trouble & drunken behavior.

Has anybody else heard owt?

Surely they won`t do such a terrible thing!!
