Serves you right!

Burnley have banned ITV camera's from Turf Moor after the chaos that has resulted from the collapse of ITV Digital. The collapse of the ITV Digital cost Burnley £5million and resulted in the whole first team squad going on the transfer list.

Burnley's marketing manager Edoardo Abis gave the reasons for the stand. "Due to the distress Carlton and Granada have caused us, we have taken the decision to ban them from entering Turf Moor.

"If they can come to some agreement with the Football League we would reconsider our stance.

"If all the clubs in the Nationwide League do the same then Granada and Carlton would have no programme to offer. Maybe then they would start to realise what they have done."
