ADMISSION charges have been slashed for next Tuesday's Auto Windscreens Trophy second round match against Notts County at Turf Moor (kick-off 7-45pm).

Only two areas will be open, the Bob Lord and Endsleigh Stands, and prices are £7 adults, £3 concessions.

As a result of the Auto Windscreens tie, Burnley's scheduled home Pontin's League game the following night, against Rotherham Reserves, has been postponed.

THE final group game in the Pontin's League Cup competition takes place at the end of this month when Burnley meet Wrexham at Turf Moor on January 28.

At stake will be top spot in Group One and Burnley's reserve side will need to win to qualify for the quarter finals.

VALLEY Paddocks Racing, whose retained horses include 'Turf Moor' and 'Up The Clarets', have unveiled their new 1998 brochure. The club is expanding and membership costs £150. A special 24 hours brochure request service is available on 01254-822330. Members enjoy many benefits, including going to the races, meeting trainers and jockeys, regular newsletters and owners badges (on rota basis).

IT is hoped that a new date for last Sunday's postponed game against Oldham Athletic can be found once Burnley's Second Division rivals know their fate in the FA Cup. Oldham were in action at Cardiff in this afternoon's third round.

SECOND Division championship favourites Watford are at Turf Moor next Saturday, January 10 (3pm).

Watford, who beat Burnley 1-0 in the opening game of the season at Vicarage Road, emerged from the festive programme with an impressive 55 points from just 25 games. Tickets for the game are now on open sale and can be pre-booked via the ticketline on 01282-700010.
