    Is Durham on talksport from 4 today? If yes, lets hope there is a phone in, so someone can advise and educate him.

    I don't want the game to be abandoned and I don't want us to start rioting like some of our near neighbours might do were they in a similar situation.
    I do, however, want to leave RD and KM with no doubt about the fact that we won't stop until they are gone. If some people get upset, then tough.

    Most of the football world is only bothered about the over hyped Premiership and the inflated sums involved - they generally don't give a flying f*** about anything else.
    Worst case scenario is the game gets replayed - hardly the end of the world.
    FA won't investigate RD or any other appalling owner because they don't care.

    But this isn't some minor game. If the game is replayed with Burnley knowing they need a 2-0 win to get promotion, that's unfair on Boro and/or Brighton, who will have played already

    Imagine if were Brighton in that situation
    Burnley only need one win to go up, regardless of goal difference. They'll get that before they arrive at our place.

    I think we should avoid getting the game abandoned, but merry abandon during the game is fair enough - especially as Brighton and Boro both had to put up with it.
    Regardless of Goal Difference...?

    If they win their next game 1-0, Middlesbrough win 2-0 and Brighton score another four goals then they're all on equal points AND Goal Difference, really hope that happens as really will be a unique situation going into the final day.

    delaying the game no issue with it, but getting it abandoned its a piss take and if boot was on other foot im sure burnley would all be northern cunts etc, i wont be there not paying to go into a stadium where were obviously not valued but will continue to attend as many away games as i can, just a thought what about if we do invade the pitch and a load of burnley "lads" get on and it kicks off, thats going to look really good on the cameras.

    the last pitch invasion 2 people got on. talk is cheap in these scenarios.

    If Charlton fans invade the pitch to get the game abandoned, then the Burnley fans would probably take the law into their own hands, and you could hardly blame them

    Hopefully Burnley will be up by then and it will be academic with the promotion interest being centered at the Riverside. Really don't think we should all be good sporting chaps when the very future of our club is at stake, can't think of many other clubs who would be like that.

    don't think that is actually possible, is it?

    think this 1 match being labled the future of our club is a bit dramatic, if rd wants to sell he will if he doesnt hes a stubborn fucker so he wont.

    £500,000 fines he won't enjoy though. Especially just before he does the maths and spreadsheets for the upcoming season, it's a big game... he's lying if he doesn't care what happens on it as it will hurt him.
    What about if the punishment is a 5 point deduction and we get new owners who bring in a fantastic squad that takes a while to settle but then we finish 1 point behind promotion?

    If that happens KM will be laughing her face off!

    If they beat QPR next weekend and neither Boro and Brighton win then they're up.

    Boro and Brighton play each other on the last day so it's not impossible.

    But at least we'll have new owners with the ability to assemble a squad good enough to challenge for promotion. I'd take that scenario now thanks.

    What if an alternative fuel source to petrol is found, effectively bankrupting Abu Dhabi and meaning Man City go into administration and Roland picks up Sergio Aguero at a knock down price prompting Charlton to go on a "perfect season" style run to the League One title infront of sell out crowds ?

    If that happens KM will be laughing her face off!

    We should unleash hell but not cause the match to be stopped. That's not fair on other clubs and - more importantly from our point of view - will lose us a shedload of the widespread sympathy we have gained in recent months.

    Now, threatening widespread mayhem on the day will cause the club to go into protective meltdown, so carry on with the threats!

    Only Burnley's performance will affect the result. We've disrupted the game against Boro and Brighton already.

    I don't think during the game we should invade the pitch, but after the game I am quite happy to do a sit in on the pitch. We could even tell the Burnley fans we will be doing this and that we have no intention of disrupting their player's celebrations if they win the league.

    Maybe, for those of us not renewing we could even take a bit of the pitch home with us. That would cause havoc given they are renting the pitch out after. They'll be digging it up anyway in a few weeks time.

    It's important in my eyes that we keep everyone at every club on side. We want to be fighting three people who have no understanding of football, not every club and their supporters.

    Burnley supporters could be offering their support like Brighton did. Never mind.

    Sorry chaps, but it is going to happen. Please do not buy tickets and do complain to the FA. They will be straight on the case as soon as they have dealt with the QPR fine for breaching fair play rules. Oh, there is that expression again; fair.

    Not much is fair in life nowadays, and this years final games maybe yet another example. The FA will decide what is fair when all the games are finished. Anyone over spent this year? What ever happens, it will not be what happened at the Valley that will have decided things, it will be how they all played all season.

    The FA have a good idea what may happen. They could make it a behind closed doors game now, save the games shedules and keep Sky happy. Burnley supporters could stay at home or have the game beamed back live to their ground. All their supporters could see the game and have a party.

    But the FA won't do anything. Now or after. Easier to just blame supporters, shake their heads and give a knowing smile. It is the way of things. So I am sorry for each of the three teams, but the game is just as important to our future as the game is to you.

    And Adrian, we are doing all this for ourselves, but should you not be looking at the greater good of football. Ownership of clubs has caused issues across the country and it needs to be addressed by football. Try looking at the big picture for a change.

    Publicity is not what hurts the regime, it's negative publicity and support for the protests in the press and football community.

    Protest like hell, but getting the game abandoned will not hurt the regime any more than current style of protests. Far better to make fun of them and make them look silly.

    If I thought for one minute that causing chaos through an abandoned match would make the authorities take up our cause i would support it, but no chance, it will just give potential for sympathy for the regime from the ignorant wider football world like Durham.

    I can see a pitch invasion at the end and that would have just as much impact without the potential negatives.

    So who is this bloke?

    If I want advice on wanking then I'll know were to go, but in the meantime I don't think we need any lectures from this tosspot about what's good for the sake of football.

    Good point Rick, why should Burnley escape?

    Durham is a prick of the highest order. Not interested in his views. He deliberately comes out with utter crap just to get people to phone in raging, surprised he's even mentioned us, get back in your talksport premier league arse kissing bubble!

    Burnley fans are no more to blame for their chairman from 35 years back than we are for the turdmeister we have in charge now...

    I see where he is coming from, but Brighton had to deal with it, so if we want to be totally fair then Burnley should get the same treatment now, regardless. If there are no protest vs Burnley purely because the fans want to respect that Burnley have something to play for then there should not have been any vs Brighton either.

    Very interesting. I just googled him - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lord_(football_chairman) - and found him to be a very interesting chap...

    An egotistical man that enjoyed hanging around with politicians, who was convinced his views were correct contrary to everyone else, invested heavily in youth and training facilities, hated anyone who dared speak against him and - ultimately - ruined a club over a debt.

    Don't know who this Durham chap is, but it has to be more of the same. My priority will always be CAFC, and sod the other 90 clubs (not included Brighton as their fans were outstanding on Saturday).
