    Despite witnessing a loss today I actually feel upbeat. I really enjoyed the gane, we more than matched a premiership side even without Potta , we had the free kicks and the disallowed penalty. A really good FA cup tie.

    Also made me appreciate Oakwell more there wasn't room to swing a cat in their away end!

    It looked very good on the live feed. Very unlucky to lose like that. Plenty of room in that stand for a few more who would have gone. Ludicrous that they allowed home fans in there as well in such an empty ground

    My daughter got a ticket once we wete there. She was going to go in the Burnley side (She didn't have a scarf or shirt) and they said if she was a Barnsley fan they had some tickets There were a fair few empty seats where we were.

    Oddest thing I saw was the bit they give to Burnley staff right in the middle of the away end. Honestly not sure what that was all about. Least they had the sense not to celebrate when they scored.

    Exactly how I felt about today.

    That’s ridiculous. I was forced to sit in the James Haregreaves Stand. Absolutely mental in atmosphere and there must have been at least 70,000 Burnley fans squashed in with me.

    Needs rebuilding. No leg room, wooden seats, rusty metal framework everywhere, restricted viewing seats, tiny steps to the stand where you have to walk at ten to two to get a good balance and cramped toilets. The stand to the right was like a posher version of our west stand. Did like the look of their stand behind the home goal. Two tiers behind the net would look great at Oakwell, hashtag two tier Ponty :D

    Considering they've had half a billion or thereabouts of TV money, Turf Moor is an absolute toilet.

    Nah, not a fan. Always liked single tiered stands behind the goal, makes for a better atmosphere!
