UEFA play off draw Monday

[oldcolner]

Time to get ready ideas for the next trip.

We or Istanbul are in Group 5 and not seeded as we have no UEFA earned points. ( unlike Zenit etc who play most years) We will be drawn against one of the top 5 seeded game winners likely to be one of

Zenit
Olympiakos
Genk
Braga
Feyenoord.

Or their conquerors

Rotterdam Genk or Braga in Portugal would be an easy trip. Pity it’s not Edinburgh! Lol

Only trouble is, to travel we will need 12000 loyalty points, a retina scan, definitive proof of five generations of being Burnley fans in the family and at least one must have attended the 1914 Cup Final, passport, home utility bill, airline ticket, blood test results and a contribution of not less than £100.00 to the Prostrate Cancer Relief Fund. I don't think I will bother.

This is the UEFA ruling so not a lot you can do about it. I have watched football in 18 different countries over the years and never had any of the nonsense you have to go through nowadays. It is pathetic really that, as someone approaching 72 years old, I am not a fit person to attend a football match without jumping through hoops!

But there are football matches we can attend without jumping through hoops Sub, as you know, which is why most of my time and money this season will be spent watching non-league. The last time I saw us play was at Stoke back in April, right at this moment I have no idea when the next time will be.

Very true sinkov, in any case, I won't be travelling abroad to watch the Clarets again because it is costing anough in fuel with the normal matches.
I was at Ashngton yesterday for the start of the Northern League season and they were 4-0 down after 30 minutes against Blyth who were newly promoted. Ashington came back in the second half and it finished 4-3 so it was good value for my £2 entrance fee. All 7 goals were scored at the same end!
Next Saturday I shall be at St James Park as a treat from my son who is visiting and it is Newcastle v Spurs so it should be interesting.
Then it will be down to the Turf on the Thursday and Sunday with no hoops jumped through at all.
ENjoy your season at Clitheroe.

Is that all?

I'm sure when they really concentrate it will be made even harder!

[sinkov]

You're starting early up there Sub, we don't go for another two weeks yet. I'm off to Brighouse tomorrow night for another pre-season friendly, they're at the same level as Clitheroe so it should be a good guide, so far they've played the U23s of Stanley, Bolton and Blackburn, two teams from the division above and three from the division below. It's looking good so far, but always hard to judge just where you are when playing teams from different levels. Newcastle and Spurs should be entertaining, although there are never guarantees, you just can't imagine it won't be a cracking game.
