Burnley may be heading to be sold out

Almost sold out. Been online trying to get a couple of tickets and about 50 left and singles only.
If any of you not going and want to hand your ST to me  please do so with pleasure

You're right, Collins should have been booked yesterday. For the second game running I thought the referee was poor, Song should have been in the book too and possibly that idiot that was having a go at Cleverly.

Indeed I thought the ref was poor, not as bad as Clatterburg last week but none the less very poor.
I think West Ham will equally say he was poor though whereas last week clatterburg gave 100% calls to Everton.

Well I thought Lee Mason ws excellent. Good all round game and great decision on Bacuna  pull v Noble obstructing Shay.

Agree with all the plaudits our midfield have been getting, but it does concern me, out of them there's only Cleverley, who looks a goal threat. As well Jack's played since he's come into the side, can't remember an occasion, when he looked like finding the net.

All I'll say in response to this is that if he creates chances like the ones yesterday every game I wouldn't be bothered if he never scored one himself.  The run for the goal was superb and completely opened them up and then the ball for Gabby was world class.  If he can add goals then great but if not so long as he's making things happen every game I'm not going to worry about it.

Plenty on viagogo starting at £40 all in, fill your boots.

[PeterWithesShin]

they start at £27 plus fees.

they start at £27 plus fees.

Number of Tickets   
Price/Ticket   £27.00
Booking Fee   £4.05
SUBTOTAL   £31.05
    + Handling and VAT
So not far off £40 all in like I said.

[PeterWithesShin]

£33.86 in total isn't "starting at £40" really is it.

Handling charge and VAT to be added on to £31.05

[PeterWithesShin]

Which takes it to £33.86. I just logged in and that's the total you pay.

Ahh is it vat added to the handling charge then ? Or VAT added to the ticket price ?
Got mine for £14 all in but did buy it about a month ago.

[PeterWithesShin]

No idea how they work out, total fees (handling, fees VAT) is £6.86 on those £27 tickets.

I did the same, if i'd known the club would do that early bird at a tenner off any ticket i'd have gone in the Holte instead. Still, it's a good view for the UT Ultras up there.

[silhillvilla]

No idea.
Must be pushing 30 years since I've sat in North upper, think it was Gornik Zabrze and they hadn't finished the sidings so was like a wind tunnel up there with my new romantic quiff getting blown all over the place.

Thought so too. He tried to let the game flow but knew Grealish would be targeted and called most fouls on him. Also wasn't he the 4th official last week vs Everton or was I imagining that?  Because I'm sure Sherwood was having a good word with him. If it wasn't Everton it was a recent game,

Last time I was Upper North was Watford, the return of SGT and we won 4-0 with Richard Walker scoring. I remember because i'd bet on us winning 3-0. Never liked Walker after that! Jeeze, thinking about it, that must be about 15 years ago!

Don't even remember that game, was probably there though in my stone washed jeans.
