so many stories of Lord. Dave and I had to cut out a lot of stuff as the publisher imposed a word limit. Hopefully we have provided a fair and balanced account of the man himself.

the stand on the side looks strangely similar to the infamous “Bread Bin” stand (sponsored by Warburtons.)

The Arsenal managers comments are the most pathetic I've ever heard.

I think it would have been on the area shown as 211 on the 1890 map of Burnley. Next to Calder Vale Works and the Mill Pond.

I don’t think it’s in its deathbed for the majority of clubs. Half of the Premiere league, the championship and lower leagues would love a chance to progrsss in the competition. Let’s face it. Burnley are not going to win the Premier league. They aren’t going to win the champions league. Our best ch...

It’s not that many years ago that the FA cup was THE competition fans wanted to watch. Crowds were huge in all the rounds, admission prices were hiked up by the clubs and the clubs playing, fielded strong sides. You have Guardiola complaining about only 32,000 turning up to watch City take on Fulham...

Thanks Tim!!!!

There used to be 13 pubs from the Tim Bobbin on Padiham Road down Westgate to and including the Plane Tree. Only the Bobbin remains open in 2020. 1. Tim Bobbin 2. The Derby Hotel 3. The Union Hotel 4. The Roebuck Inn 5. The Clifton Hotel 6. The Peels Arms 7. The Barracks Tavern 8. The Garrison Hotel...

There’s a number of films on YouTube of the final.
Tickets I believe were hard to come by in Burnley but fans still travelled down in their thousands to follow Cliff Brittons Team. There’s a clip of it in the Bob Lord Film I ‘borrowed’.

Thought Ben had a good game today.

A man of many talents. Well done Phil, smashing film and poem.

It’s the Derby Way.

The club that starts but never finishes. Maybe viagra could help it’s staying power.

Tony, the tram tracks are still under the road surface I think. Football special teams stopping at Turf Moor would be brilliant.

Can’t see how it’s fake. A member of the public brings in an old Cabinet, their staff fix it up and give it back. That’s the show. So what do they use -actors as members of the public? Swap the busted up cabinet for a new one? I Don’t get the fake label. Nice show easy on the eyes.

Came off the game and no buses other than the X43 seen in the image. How can we get a better Bus service for fans after night matches ?

P S. Ilkley is on your route - slight detour but superb views from up on the tops and the Cow and Calf rocks. There’s also a Betty’s tea shop on the Main Street and a good Wetherspoons. (Think I’ll write a guide book

)

There’s the Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey, or nearer Burnley, several places in Skipton, Tempest Arms in Elslack, Craven Heifer at Kelbrook, Tubbs in Colne, and lots of places in Burnley to eat before the match. Plumbe Street Miners will be busy from tea time 20p to get in but is cheap for a drink...

Some hot water in the Bob Lord toilets would be a decent Christmas present to fans. Or even cold water.

For any change to happen you need to raise a complaint. Send Northern Rail a letter stating the details and how you were personally affected. State what, when, where. Etc, and provide photographic proof if you have it. Demand a refund for the disruption caused. Next send Burnleys MP a similar letter...

With BUrnley now a marginal seat and another election five years away, the UK will be out of the EU for :3-4 years by the time of the next vote. It leaving the EU works out to the people of Burnleys advantage, the Tories you’d think would get back in. But If Brexit ends up to be a disaster for the U...

When it rains A huge pool of rainwater forms just as you drive down onto the motorway at Gannow top heading toward Accrington. In the dark even with headlights on you cannot see it until it’s too late. The pool is huge, swamping the kerbside lane making some drivers swerve out or plough through it. ...
