As I've said before, it doesn't matter how cheap you make the tickets for the thousands who are staying away because of the owners. If you think an extra £54 off would get close to selling out even the bottom tiers, I think you're deluded. If £15 a game isn't cheap enough, and particularly £16 for a parent and kid, then let's face it, there are more staying away in protest than you would care to acknowledge.

If I win the lottery, I'll tell Waggott I'll subside season ticket prices so they're the same price as bloody Preston's, just to settle the argument ffs. Deepdale at a 20k capacity is too big for Preston, and they're still nowhere near to selling it out with the cheapest tickets,and a far bigger population draw.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It never rang true to me, not when we turned down a fee for Gallagher, with also the chance to shift the biggest earner's wages off the books. I think it was all to do with the fall out.

It certainly contradicts the Travis leaving to save his wages rumour. Not that I really ever believed it.

I wasn't even giving it my personal opinion, I don't know why someone has given me a thumbs down, it's a fact, he's got the best record since Sir Alf. God knows what people said about Robson and Enables.

He's the best since Alf Ramsay.

Mate's lad was there doing a training session that was laid on a couple of weeks ago. They had a tour of the training facilities, and Hedges was in there.

I'm hoping for Lampardew.

Bellingham has just won the Champions League playing for Real Madrid, he's one of the most coveted players in the world,after being one of the most coveted youngsters, leaving Birmingham when he was only 17. We got £7 million less for Adam Wharton, i think your comparison does your argument no favours.

Bowen is a goalscorer, they come at a premium, which is why I made the comparison. We could be well over £30 million with a sell on fee, for a Championship player, I think it's a fair price.

It's the......... after playing 13 Premier League games bit, that's the argument. A Championship player will always have his ceiling, Bowen went to West Ham for £22 million after scoring 52 goals in 3 seasons for Hull, that now looks ridiculously cheap. Wharton will bring in the minimum £22 million, and much more when he leaves Palace for big money. To think we'd get much more as a Championship club, with his scoring/ assist record is a bit fanciful.

Didn't realise the Dingles had released Gudmundsson, I wouldn't be upset if we were in for him.

Really, really pleased Bowen has made the cut. Well deserved for a player who came through the Championship and always puts a shift in.

He's already surpassed every manager except Alf Ramsay. The stick Southgate gets is mad.

To be fair, even that would be a better suggestion than letting him go for free, just to get his wages off the books. 🙄

Mental is definitely the word.

I'd rather have Colin Pitchfork than Kean, hope this answers your question.

I understand that some won't be able to afford to pay for a ticket in full, but for those who can, £15 a game for an adult is a fair price in itself, but £16 for a lad and dad is fantastic value.

Their biggest asset would be Brownhill, one of the main men in their title win,although that "retained" list is well short of what they went up with. I haven't met a Burnley fan yet who doesn't think they are well short from the team that gained promotion. They'll be strong, but that core of strong, experienced players that Kompany inherited has either left, is leaving and is 2 years older whether or not.

Apparently Brownhill,Taylor, Rodriguez, Cork and Gudmundson are all leaving, as I say, apparently. Barnes was obviously their most important, along with Harwood Bellis, Maatsen and Tella, none of whom are still there. I've no doubt forgotten a few. Their squad this time will be nothing like,although the 2 you mention would get in any Championship team, although Berge is tipped to leave.

Absolutely, there's no hardcore of Championship hardened players in their squad this time around.

Upside down reckoned the figure to be 4000 the other day. I'd say it's at least that number. If they're being sincere, then no amount of discount would tempt them to buy a ticket. A failure to acknowledge this situation makes any comparison with other clubs null and void. As you've said yourself many times, we're not a "normal" club.

.... or the owners leave, and the 15000 people who've told me over the years that they're only staying away because of Venkys, come flooding back 🙄
