Wasnt it an offer from last season?

Yeah, well done to them i say.

 

 

 

I'm looking forward to this fixture, particularly meeting their most famous fan......Rocky Mills ::

 

 

Has anyone else heard of him,? He's looks absolutely barking.

 

Can you imagine him at the Reebok, he'd soon get shown the exit!!

I used to work for a Burnley fan. He was mad as a box of frogs! Anyhow, he told me a bloke he knew who went to the match named his daughter Claret Anne Blue. I actually think that's true. They're an odd lot over there.

I can actually believe that ::

Yep its an offer they have had for the last few seasons - if you have a season ticket in the Championship and they go up to the Premiership you get a free season ticket !

They have a fan called Dave Burnley as well changed his name by depoll

 

The ST deal ia for just short of 6 thousand

Chairman Barry Kilby promised that any 08/09 st holder will gain a free 09/10 st if the team reach the premier league

 

The club expectation for the 08/09 season was to reach the play offs

As it will be for the 2010/2011 season

That's the one who's daughter's called Claret! He was called Dave Blackburn before apparently!

Hang on

 

If I've got this right, the chairman of a business has effectively GIVEN AWAY ?1.2 million???

 

Moreover, he's given it away to people who would sacrifice a years worth of Microchips to have paid more in all likelihood.

 

Am I alone in thinking he's a complete fucking retard?

He was only giving it away if they got into the premier league! It was an incentive for fans to buy ST's last year!

They now will receive 60million over the season

so no i dont think he is a fucking retard

Nope

 

He's numb as fuck.

 

I doubt very much that they can afford to give ?1.2 million away. I would certainly not be impressed if it was BWFC. A gesture is fine (such as a free shirt, a free game) but no club outside the top 5 or 6 can afford that.

be interesting next year when people take about passionate burnely fans are but no one mentions they only sold 6000 season tickets.

 

as for the offer he could well have taken insurance out so that if the event happened cost is paid out, like when there is a golf competiton and the amateurs win a car for a hole in one, you pay a couple of hundred quid and if it happens the insurance company pay out.

 

there are companies that offer such specialised deals

 

there again when planning a season ahead they probably thought it might cost us ?1.2M but if it does we will have about 25 times that amount in TV money so not a disaster.

aye but selling those season tickets didn't actually get them into the premier league

 

what was the increase from the previous season?

 

be interesting to know how many they sold then when the offer wasn't on

 

good PR stunt

 

you can bet he didn't actually think they'd make it when he made the offer

tbh i dont think there was a large increase

 

i also expect that the chairman and supporters didnt expect promotion

If Catherine Zeta Jones comes round to my house in May 2010 and does rude things to me then I will buy everyone on the site, nay everyone in Bolton, 10 pints of Stella such is my generosity.

 

The Chairman must have thought is was the safest bet in town when he said it.

Yeah, well done to them i say.

she said she won't come round to yours unless there is some lobby on the go, and then she'll be as rude as you like

I thought the offer was, that if you signed up to buying a season ticket for the next two years you got the second one free if they went up?

Yeah, well done to them i say.

Rocky Mills is quality. "You've got to 'it 'em, 'it 'em, n 'it 'em hard, cos if you don't, yer dead!" This coming from a 70+ year old nutter

They were probably about 10/1 to go up at the start of last season so if he thought they'd shift at least 10% more tickets by making the gesture, he'd make a profit as well as the good PR. A bit more than 10% given the increased cost Burnley would charge for Premier football but not a lot more.

The one neutral match i'm looking forward to is when Burnley play Blackburn, especially if Rocky Mills is there to wind 'em all up. ::

Did it not remind you of the hills have eyes toothless inbred tossers.
