this pisses me off as i cannot get tickets for family stand unless i book months in advance-my Burnley tickets were booked end of Sept/early October. i wont pay 60 quid to watch ccfc when i could pay 30 for me and the 2 boys. The club is still failing to market itself properly and needs to move forwards. We dont need to be like the gypos and sell tickets for a can of Tesco Value Beans or whatever but the club should use the corner areas as family areas in addition to main family stand.


Gareth about 1,500 empty seats in Family Stand.

What is going on - it was as if the palyers had never played with each other before!

How can you go from beating Leeds 4-0 awat to the way we have played in the last 4-5 games.

it's clear Jones man-managment, motivational and tactical skills are in short supply. :evil:

Do you think he will come out and say he made a mistake??? Sorry it's not 5 players I need it's actually 6 :lol: :lol:

it happens all the time. I posed the question a couple of weeks ago how could we wallop Burnley 3-1 (coulda been 8-1) at the end of the season before last then get battered 6 - 0 away to Preston. This is a recurring theme season after season under Dave Jones. We go from being world beaters to a sunday pub team in the space of a week. Somethings not right.

All the faults of previous seasons are showing once again. How can we look unbeatable in October to relegation fodder 6 weeks later? Jones is to football what Tim Henman was to tennis, a nearly man.We won't go up with him in charge it'll just be the same old story of near misses.

As for Jones.....I don't think he'll be able to offer an excuse. Shocking performance and if he ignores that then he needs a new job.


nothing to do with the a470,i drove from builth had to be diverted,so if i could get there,then fans from the valleys had the same option!
