As far as the food (and I use the word food VERY conservativley) stand is concerned, then yes Dave you have a valid point, however the beer stall is a different matter it is run,staffed by the clubhouse so yes the money would have gone to the club.

Thank you o wise one

Yes it would have made a difference then, according to our lot they ran out at 2.45 in the away end

The back five (Arthur, Cavanagh, Edwards, Murdoch, King) looked almost (shh) solid. There you go Jeff - we might just be dangerous this season

Craney was awful. Please Morecambe - give us a decent offer and you can have him.
Miles was completely retarded as usual. Did someone say he looked sharp?! The sun got to you then!!
Clarke wasn't brilliant. Not penetrative enough.

Ideally, we need Anthony Barry, a Roscoe D'Sane who hits the target once in a while, and Gary Roberts.

Or more realistically... the Unibond's equivalents.

there really is no excuse for running out of beer in the stands. The beer is cans for gods sake and we should have crate upon crate piled up in advance. At the Bury game we ran out before the kick off and yet again at the very next opportunity we have run out before kick off. I don't know what the half time takings are usually but on lovely sunny days like yesterday and the Bury game they would have been quite high.

One of the main complaints from our lot is that when the bottled water ran they started charging £1 for a plastic cupful of it. Strange how the taps in the toilets didn't work ?

Did anyone buy a programme ? If so can you tell me who the officials were please ?

I agree with you. The defenders, for once, played the ball out of defence instead of just launching it anywhere (until Rocky came one) and they also looked solid. As for where are the goals coming from, remember we were playing against a Championship defence. There will be plenty of Championship clubs who will fail to score or penetrate Burnley's defence in the coming season. All in all I was pleased with the first half performance. Let's just wait and see what happens in competative games against Aldershot, Wolves and Port Vale before making any judgements.
