More poor crowds
 

Burnley v Hartlepool 3853. Puts it all into perspective a bit. Only 28 away fans as well! Tinpot!

Re: More poor crowds

Re: More poor crowds

Re: More poor crowds

Is it just me , or does the above post seem to lack even the basic rudiments of plain English?...........Could someone please translate??

Re: More poor crowds
 

:confused: :confused: :confused: i haven't a clue ukcowboy i cant decipher it either:rolleyes:

Re: More poor crowds
 

Was that all there was a Turf Moor despite the cut of price at the gate ??? geee & people have a go at us for poor gates:eek: & their capacity is much bigger than ours so it must of looked very empty indeed there :D

Re: More poor crowds
 

Gates will also continue to fall while LCC and the police continue to harrass supporters who travel by car, setting up highly dubious no parking zones in an attempt to extort yet more funds from the public. They even wasted money by sending their helicopter out on Monday night, to the one ground in the country where the police have never been needed.

Re: More poor crowds
 

in other words.... Burnley fan! :)

Re: More poor crowds
 

I don’t know about other peoples experiences, but I drive 40 miles each way and have had no problem with parking or the police. The police in my opinion have been helpful and courteous and have given me no reason to have any concerns. In fact I am surprised that there have been no supportive comments about the policing on the site

I use the donation car park just passed the ground entrance and have never put more than a couple of quid in the box. The people down there have also been polite and courteous and I’ve also believe that the car is safer there than just parked on the street.
<O:p
I think we need to give support to the current practice rather then condemn it; after all there would be more risk of a fatality occurring with traffic try to get away through the narrow confines of Livingston and Whalley Roads.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Re: More poor crowds
 

Hear hear! I've stopped using the car now after falling foul of the jobsworths patrolling First Avenue and doling out their £30 presents to drivers who try to park sensibly. Unfortunately we need to attract people who are not lucky enough to live only a 30 mins walk away, and who don't want to be trapped in the official car park after the match. Too many negatives for waverers at the moment I'm afraid - this + no F in roof, etc.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Yes,its dingle speak a language that was found by accident by a member of Manchester University Language department on a hiking holiday in the more remote parts of NE Lancashire. Whilst asking for a directions from a passing tramp he got the reply eh!!! tha wat!!!!!! eh!! by!!! after more questioning he found out that in fact he was talking to a Dingle, a person from the town of Burnley and his name was Kev. He immediatly cut his holiday short contacted the University and a team of linguists flooded the area to study this modern day lost tribe, from this study they compiled a book called speak like a dingle, luckily I managed to find a copy and just for you Cowboy I may have an answer.......

A lot of people do not go to Burnley FC anymore because they are treated very poorly by the fore said club.
Hope this helps :)

Re: More poor crowds
 

So no truth in the rumour that forest and burnley hoolies where going to be fighting then doug?

Re: More poor crowds
 

I’ve no idea? I never heard the rumour, but if there was, and a gang of dingles started kicking my a*** I’d want a copper there bloody sharpish to stop me hurting them. :D

I take the point that people are making, but this is the price of League football. :)

Re: More poor crowds
 

fair do`s, i wasn`t aware of that, cheers doug

Re: More poor crowds
 

Hi, Ho, Pipinfort. It’s just an opinion and not necessary based on fact. :)

But thanks anyway.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Re: More poor crowds
 

Doug, you won't have seen many of the police on monday night, because most of them were nowhere near the ground. They were flung in far off areas issuing spurious parking tickets to innocent motorists who at any other time of the week would be deemed to be parked perfectly legally.
For this the club was charged £4000. If at this time you had phoned to report a crime, there would have been no police available, because they never are. You just get given a crime number and that's that. It is no longer the police forces job to tackle crime, they have too many motorists to harass now.

Re: More poor crowds
 

I can’t comment on that Ossyclogger, I know I’ve been had up here a few times (£90 in one month period) so I tend to make sure I’m legally parked. I have to say that the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[IMG] /><st1:PlaceName w:st=[/IMG]Donation</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Care</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType></ST1:p I used was full on Monday night and I was right at the far end and it only took me a few minutes to get away. Maybe it would be worth the 2 quid donation.

One question I do have is did anyone pick up all that horse s*** up after the Gee, gees left. :o

Re: More poor crowds
 

I never expected the gates to rise in all honesty, rovers fans will always be rovers fans etc ...
Youw ill get the odd game where the attendence will rocket (a big club, league leaders) but thats about it, no point really moaning about it (not that anyone was) because its going change nothing

Re: More poor crowds
 

I have parked in that carpark many times Doug but I will not pay into the slush fund when I am legally parked. To this end and although I know the outcome will be some time off yet ,I have packed my pyjamas and toothbrush. I will await with anticipation to see which of Her Majesties establishments she wants me to visit. They won't get a penny of me, and it will help fill in time between matches.

On the other question. I was speaking to the unfortunate fellow that did the job only this affternoon. You would think that for what they charge that they could do it themselves. If it was your dog doing it they would be on you like a ton of bricks.

P.S> I am parking there every day this week and I will be there again on Saturday. Roll on more tickets. The more I get, the more I don't pay, the more I save. In fact if I can manage free board and lodgings, I should end up in profit.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Thankyou so much Bazf, most informative. I would implore you to detail where a copy of this feat of modern day literature may be purchased from, just incase I need to refer to it in future. :D :D

Re: More poor crowds
 

[quote=They even wasted money by sending their helicopter out on Monday night, to the one ground in the country where the police have never been needed.[/quote]

that as kipax stated earlier would have been for the burnley knuckle heads ever since that suicide youth squad pillock killed that forest lad in dingle town centre there has been rumblings between the two clubs (when they meet).....so to me it WAS fully justified as it could cover a wide range of areas and would have forseen any large groups gathering better than sparce coppers on the streets ;)

Re: More poor crowds
 

From what I can gather there were a number of incidents in Accy town centre on Monday night between Burnley and Forest unsociables (they are not fans.) Including some pillock throwing feaces. Also according to a friend who lives on Ribblesdale avenue, something was going on behind thier house on monday, that warrented half a dozen or so coppers haring past his back gate!!!

I agree its rare we need this kind of police presence at the ground but the presence will increase now we are in the football league playing against teams that our local riavls may have issues with. It better to be safe.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Cowboy, I got a draft copy that was hanging around Accrington baths, in the 3rd cubicle from the left.
A footnote said this work may never be complete as more sounds and grunts are being added daily but all mean the same sort of thing, for example hither- se- tith, mean come here please I wish to communicate with you, it also means how much did you charge me for that kind sir.
So as you can see this could go on for years or untill the members of the univeristy find intelligent life form above what they have encountered.
At the moment the table looks like this.

Dingle
Pond Life
Man utd supporter
Hobbit
Neanderthals
Primate
Homo Sapians

Which as was pointed out by a member of the faculty, this is the only time Burnley will be on top.

Re: More poor crowds
 

I'm actually working in burnley for the next 9 or 10 weeks, and so far, it ain't been pretty. I had a perfectly able-bodied woman (I think it was a woman, it had breasts, but it also had facial hair!) come into the shop pushing an empty wheelchair. Being next to the Hospital, I assumed she was going to pick somebody up or something. Anyway, she paid for her shopping, and as I went to bag it up, she just grabbed it, ignorant as you like, and threw them onto the wheelchair. She was using a bloody wheelchair to cart her shopping about in, couldn't believe it. Proper scrotes living in Burnley.

Re: More poor crowds
 

That's Burnley for you;I thought Accy was the pits till I worked with the lovely consumer classes in dingle country. There maybe some pleasant ones who don't actually stink and are polite but they are few and far between!

Re: More poor crowds
 

I’ve got family in Burnley............:o :D

Re: More poor crowds
 

Is there really any need for posts like this?
We're seen by many as one of the few clubs without idiotic fans gobbing off. That view ain't gonna be kept much longer if Stanley fans are posting like this for the whole world to see.
There's umpteen threads about poor gates; do you really think any potential punters from the Burnley area are going to want to come to our games after reading this drivel?
:(

Re: More poor crowds
 

I am from Burnley and support Burnley although I now live here. Perhaps people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. On a BFC forum you get mixed responses towards Stanley from people going on when we are away to others who see them as rivals. However even the latter don't stoop to such comments that have been made on here. Perhaps I could post the comments on the forum concerned and see if they still hold the view that Stanley are the friendly club from down the road.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Whats wrong with you 2, wrong time of the month or something, it called humor, they are known through out the land as dingles, this message board is turning in to real "don't make fun of anyone or they might write something bad about us". If you take the pee out of Rovers you have 20 Accy fans screaming it not fair, if you take the pee out of Burnley the other 20 start.
Its a message board not real life.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Would these people on the forum be the same people that kicked off with York fans? The same lads that stood in the Morecambe home end and began singing Stanley songs? The same lads that threw their mate off the Clayton End into a skip? The same lads that thumped one of our Stewards? I don't like Burnley, I don't don't like the Club, I don't like their fans, and I won't apologise for it either. If some Stanley fans came to a Burnley match and caused grief for your fans or your Club, you'd have the same view.

Re: More poor crowds
 

I'll have a laugh & a joke about the Dingles anyday, but there's banter & then there's just idiocy.
Insulting the people living in Burnley who may not be Burnley FC fans (point in that please??) with no reason is just embarassing.

Re: More poor crowds
 

You get embarrassed very easily? so pray tell the difference between banter and idocy, does it mean you can sing "we all hate BFC" on the clayton end and that would be banter, and saying "whats the difference between a dingle and a bucket of sh1t?" The Bucket is idocy. or is it more like if you disagree with something being said then 1. there is no point in it. 2 Idiocy, but if you agree then its banter.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Bazf & Diesel if it makes you feel good thats not a problem. I'll go find more intelligent debate. :D

Re: More poor crowds
 

the original thread was to highlight that not only Stanley are struggling with crowds at this moment in the season. I think that the comments made are mainly in jest as we all work and socialise with Burnley fans every day. I think we are, or should be, above knocking other fans.


Other than maybe Barrow and Alty ;)

Re: More poor crowds
 

That post really made me chuckle, thanks.

Re: More poor crowds
 

That made me laugh all day. Hillarious. Thanks

Re: More poor crowds
 

Bazf,

Thank you once again for your most precise and informative reply to my previous post.

I have today been in touch with Waterstones in Oxford Street London, where a very nice young lady, by the name of Gwendoline, has offerd to try and procure a copy of said book for me, however I do need the title.........can you help?

Yours

Cowboy

Re: More poor crowds
 

Sure they made a film from the book
the film was entitled "Dingles Down Under":) :) :)

Re: More poor crowds
 

Thankyou also Bottletop for your much appreciated input, video on order as we speak, funnily enough from the Burnley Fan who owns the video shop near the market in town!! :p :D :p

























Ok enough now, sorry!!! :D

Re: More poor crowds
 

funnily enough from the Burnley Fan who owns the video shop near the market in town!!

Now then!!! If it's the same shop I am thinking of then he maybe a Burnley fan but he does contribute to the Gold Bond Draw on a weekly basis:)

Re: More poor crowds
 

it is and youre right!!..........ho hum!!:D :p :D

Re: More poor crowds
 

I forgot to say when I posted the other night that is actually incorrect information. £5 was the child price. £10 was the adult price.

First round of league cup is notorious for attendances and I think Stanley still hoped that nostalgia would give them a higher gate.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Today I parked Where the Lancashire Gestapo had not put any cones. On my way back to my car, I passed about 67 illegally parked cars and surprise surprise, not one of them had a parking ticket. ONE LAW FOR FOOTIE FANS AND A DIFFERENT ONE FOR EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

Re: More poor crowds
 

Re: More poor crowds
 

as well as family ticket though rovers and burnley not playing today as well as half decent weather :)

Re: More poor crowds
 

S'cuse me but Burnley played in the smoke today and got a 2-2 draw, however, rather than being pedantic, it was nice to see over 2,000 folk from Accrington supporting the team as well as the 900 from Rochdale
