    The football/sky world could have bailed them out if they hadn't spent it on VAR.

    Maybe the Neville family could intervene?

    Dangerous precedent though? Damned if you, damned if you don't?

    Didn't that risk company look interested but when the books were opened up they quickly put it into reverse. Makes me think there could be something in the figures/agreement which makes any deal far from inviting.

    I remember going to Burden Park to watch Bolton v City, 71 ? 0-0, my first visit there and it wasn't a very hospitable place to visit. Again mid week a few years later and another 0-0 draw with our away support numbering about 100. The League Cup tennis ball throwing game which toppled David Lloyd when it was a rare chance for us to play at a 'big' stadium. They looked light years in front of us at the time in terms of facilities. City have never done very well at Bolton.
    If the 5,000 attendance was correct for last Saturday it was a very poor show in their hour of need. So much for building a stadium so far away from the town centre. Remember a Bolton fan telling me once that a bus into Manchester from the town centre takes as long as a bus to the Reebok and was the same fare.

    Last time at Turf Moor on the rattler (last minute freekick equaliser from Snodgrass), I'm sure you couldn't get direct to MCR from there!

    Think they also have 3 trainstations also (all steam train compliant still)

    Always have to go via Hx

    Burnley is nearer to Leeds than Hull is. Never seen a Burnley White though.

    Last time I went there there was the odd LFC/MUFC shirt

    Last time I went to Hudds in 2016 Ipassed a 5 a side pitch near the ground, all the players in their 20s in the usual Barser and Arsenal shirts.

    Like chlamydia it's everywhere.

    i reckon most l**ds "supporters" from hull became infected during the revie era while we were in division 2. burnley was a first division club at the same that l**ds were winning their first league title (and had been since 1947), so i expect that accounts for the lack of burnley whites. l**ds was the nearest division 1 club to hull for the defectors to get to. burnley fans had other options for any disloyalty, but i do recall them having the fullest stadium per head of population in the bob lord days.

    A lot became TWS supporters because they thought it made them hard rampaging about in a large group when
    City didn’t have a mob and they would have been up against it. Burnley never had people defecting to other clubs as it was a football town with long traditions. They had the largest proportion of any place attending long before and after Bob Lord. Places like Huddersfield and Bolton had odd games back in the day where half the population turned up for the odd game but Burnley used to average a quarter to a third of its population at games for quite a while . In 1948 they averaged over 30,000 when the population of Burnley was less than 70,000

    The globe pub in Bridlington ( high street )
    Use to run a mini bus to Man Utd games in the 70s

    A coach still runs from Scarborough to Man Utd games

    The pubs in Filey are always full of Liverpool and Leeds United shirt wearing supporters who have never been to a game

    Gotta feel for the fans, staff, etc connected to Bury tonight. It’s ridiculous the EFL allowed this to happen.
