I renewed my season ticket yesterday at the ticket office and I asked the question re seat swapping.
The date for seat swapping was confirmed as April 22nd.

Because Bolton are playing Cheltenham on the Saturday!

It was the late Clifford Scott. I don't know what happened to the pub pictures.

We actually won the league on the Monday BEFORE the final!
Poor journalism!

Another one from Bill Shankly. "Paddy Crerand - a player with deceptive pace, a lot slower than he looks".

I love a good bum on a woman, it makes my day.
Jake Thackray - On again! On again!

Why is the Hull game not categorised? I need a spare ticket for that match. Perhaps it's free for walk ons?

Les Shannon whom I did see play around 1957/8?

Lowerhouse are also at the seaside for a friendly at Blackpool on April 9th.
UTH

The beer festival starts today (Friday) at 2pm until midnight and tomorrow from noon until midnight. There are around 20 beers with discount for CAMRA members. There is musical entertainment on Saturday night.
Come and enjoy!

If you think that Burnley play hoof ball then you should have been at the Arbories today to see a perfect example of the genre.
At least the Reedley Hallows Pendleside in the clubhouse was palatable.
The match inevitably ended 0-0.

There is a live stream, as usual, on the Lancashire CCC website with commentary from Radio Blackburn.

House won by 206 runs. Parry 6 for 13.

All beers yesterday at Clitheroe CC were actually £4.30 a pint. The Cumberland sausage swirl on a roll at only £3.50 was a bargain! Real ale at Lowerhouse ( JW Lees MPA ) is £2.90 a pint with 10p off for members. Clitheroe members get a massive 20% discount - that's 86p off!

I was at the infamous "Judas!" concert in Manchester just two days before my 18th birthday. Burnley had qualified for Europe and the World Cup was just a few weeks away and I was lucky enough to be at Wembley to see England win. Of course "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now!"

I believe that the Lancs League require certain criteria to be met re facilities, ground size, car parking etc. Some Ribblesdale League clubs do not satisfy these criteria and therefore unless the Lancs League relax their requirements or the Ribblesdale League clubs bring their facilities up to scra...

"Another fan, a 24 year old, was remanded on bail for assaulting a police officer". Thanks Tony for confirming my innocence and protecting my anonymity! Now 72 years old, I still have a disregard for the police after the "fabricated evidence". On the Monday after the match at Hillsborough the Sheffi...

It was originally the Footballers Arms. I can remember drinking Massey's Bitter in there!

I always thought Goodison was designed at both ends in the way shown. The game featured is one I attended, USSR v Brazil, with Pele and Yashin(goalkeeper) in the picture. I was behind the goal, so I enlarged the picture to look unsuccessfully for myself. What I did notice, was the vast majority of ...

Has the road opened yet? Are buses from Padiham running via a diversion?

Joey Hawke hitting the winning run for Lowerhouse in the Worsley Cup Final against Burnley.

Try the Lounge Bar, a few Clarets go in there.

I remember there being lots of coppers in the Cricket Field End that night. Most of it was being thrown at the Napoli goalkeeper in the form of (old) pennies. In fact I risked a few ha'pennies myself!

Burnley's last ever game on Christmas Day was a 2-1 home win against Manchester City in 1957. There were BCN corporation buses from Padiham running that day!!

It has been bought by a group of investors, largely from the village, and may reopen before Xmas.

Preston North End?

Yes I thought it was navy blue. Lawson scored 4 in the 3rd round v Chesterfield. I remember poor Doug Winton getting the run around by Peter McParland in the Villa replay. Was that the only time Villa have won on the Turf since the war? Villa went on to win the cup in 1957 beating Manchester United ...

It was 60 years ago today that I saw my first Burnley match and it was in the 4th round of the FA Cup which is why I was so delighted that we beat Sunderland in the replay so that I can celebrate my anniversary on Saturday. I can still remember a few details of that day. Standing at Milton Street bu...
