Don’t worry, there was no danger of that.
Think they're all still occupied.
Wasn't sure there was much there to occupy? Maybe Continentals and a car park?
I always liked the idea of turning that round cafe in the market square into a mexican place with a big sombrero trim on the roof

It will never be as big as St Patrick's Day, simply because there is no single beer, and therefore company so associated with it and therefore willing to splurge millions n marketing and bunting, hats, and whatever other tat to promo it.

Anyone mentioned the night club at the bottom of the bus station in Burnley, now a dentist but can't remember the name?
At a fuction last night where someone said there was a 'club' in Nelson above the Zoo/Lord Nelson pub?
Chaplins in the basement?

Should have a separate pool of VAR officials, freeing up "active"| refs to work on the pitch. You could recruit the best recent retired refs from around the world to sit in Stockley Park, with no bias as far as showing their old mate/colleague up. Im baffled why they insist on it being one pool of r...

Not the normal schedule here, either. How many have we had this season - 6 including League Cup?
If Czech teams reached the later stages of Europe, I dare say they'd be playing "English weeks" a lot more.
It is a lot more the normal schedule in the EFL, however, with 46 games to fit in.......

It isn't the normal schedule, no. Sometimes you will get cup games midweek, often at KO times like 3pm or 4pm which can be a pain, but normally its just 5pm Wednesday 1 or 2 times a season.

Am I in the minority that it doesn't affect my efforts to get on the Turf whether it's on TV or not?
I live in Newcastle, but when I'm picking matches to attend, I NEVER look to see if it's on TV before I book tickets.
So you assume it's still a 3pm Ko and trust your luck? Aye alright

I do love that there's a Lancashire golfer called Tommy Fleetwood. Something of the Eastbound and Down about it. There'd be gold in a fictionalised cartoon i reckon.

Quite. There are a few fixations held by some people on here and while sometimes understandable to an extent, it does veer into self-parody at times.

More importantly, being aware of that ignorance, and as such not proffering opinions about subjects you do not have a grasp on.
I ask potentially stupid questions professionally, at least as part of my job, and it doesn't half take some getting used to to get past the fear of looking like an idiot.
