I'm the ripe old age of 69 and being born in Yorkshire I'm a bit of a glory hunter, jumping onto the back of us winning the 1st division back in 1960. I didn't get to see us play though until 1965. First game at Leeds, Willie Irvine scored in a 1-1 draw. I have a program from every game I've been to...

Hi NNN, I fitted the same back in October. I agree, the fitting is simple and the Tado guides are very good. There's also a good online user tech forum. Our house is open plan downstairs so I've set it up as one zone and the upstairs rooms are all separate zones configured with the Smart Schedule. T...

I sat down the front too as I'm waiting for a knee op. and I'm not able to stand for the whole 90 minutes. What amazed me was the sheer number of Clarets fans trooping in and out of the stand during the whole game. It was constant movement so I sympathise with Woodley. You expect a few late comers a...

Talking of squares, get yersen down to Trent Bridge. It's free admission today for a whole day of test match cricket. The bars are open all day and the sun is shining.
NB for non-cricket types the area where the wickets are is known as 'the square' and the length of the pitch is exactly one chain.

Great thread, brings back many memories of away days following The Clarets.
38 for me all with Burnley.

Apologies for the quality of these pictures of pictures that were in the Ministry of Ale. I took them in 2017 but I think they reflected the status of Burnley pubs at an earlier date. The blurry pictures will bring back memories for many on here. 20171209_121827.jpg 20171209_121821.jpg 20171209_1218...

I have no reason to believe Dyche would go to that dirty old town.

Sean thinks it was a pen and so do I. I think if this had been at the other end and an Arsenal forward had been put off shooting by a Burnley players foot VAR would have taken a much longer look. They'd have had to with half the Arsenal team surrounding ref complaining and another Arsenal player rol...

I remember it being 4d for a call (4 single old pennies). You put the cash in and dialled the number. When they answered you pressed button 'A' to connect. If they didn't answer you pressed button 'B' and got your cash back. Seems archaic now but back then was just the norm as few people had telepho...

Stan Collymore's was an amusing one at Stafford Rangers.

Eddie. Yes the ceremony at the arboretum was very touching. I thought it hit the right note including all of the 'forgotten' - POW's, 14th Army, air force, navy, civilian internees and the whole Commonwealth involvement in facing up to the Japanese aggressors. The weather was fair and it was brillia...

I'll be at the National Memorial Arboretum today to commemorate VJ Day and paying tribute to my dad. He was a Japanese POW. Aged 20 he was in the 85th Anti-tank regiment and after basic training he sailed from Greenock on November 11th 1941, destined for Iraq and some desert warfare. En-route orders...

What a bitter Norwich knob that journo is, writing an absolutely disgraceful article. It was a totally deliberate elbow by Buendia. The only thing I agree with him in the article is that 'simulated' behaviour is a plague of the modern game but there are more laughable incidents than this. The 'there...

I agree that BT have been the worst of the live game providers in not offering free games or even the option for day passes (maybe technology doesn't permit this). I subscribe to Sky Sports so my legal option to get BT through my Sky TV box is to subscribe to the BT sport channels for £25 per month ...

For me my personal favourite is Stand By Me starring River Phoenix and Corey Feldman. It reminds me of the freedom of my own childhood. Also high on my list for entertainment value are most films with Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks. I'll also always watch the Humphrey Bogart classics; Casablanca, Afric...

Another slightly earlier team pic in the same shirts. Great to see shirts with no sponsor! I guess somewhere between 1969 and 1971.

Slightly off topic, another disruptive element outside for teachers, is snow. I work in school now and there's nothing more disruptive to lessons than a few flakes of snow falling outside. The same was true when I was at school but the snow brought another terror to our school yard. I went to the Ca...

Another one from the scrapbook. This made me smile when I read it again but fair play to Paul Fletcher, he was one of the best headers of a ball (if not the best) I've seen play for us at centre forward.

.....it was David Hartley that took the headlines back in 1968.

Spotted this while looking at some old scrapbooks I kept as a kid. If memory serves me right David Hartley never played first team football for us. David Icke went on to play for Hereford I do believe.

Fantastic day! We drove down as far as Warwick Parkway and caught a direct train to Wembley. The train seemed to be full of fellow Clarets and there was a carnival atmosphere. Confidence was sky high and I everyone knew we couldn't loose. I had my camera with me and took some photo's of our party bu...

It's normally that time of year when the season's ended and some of us start planning our next football 'fix'. If it's an even numbered year then I know there'll be Euro's or a World Cup to keep me entertained during this fallow period. Of course we've all got to fit our summer holidays in but that ...

My Dad was also a Japanese POW so was in all probability oblivious to VE day. He was in the 85th Anti-tank regiment and after basic training he sailed from Greenock on November 11th 1941, destined for Iraq and some desert warfare. En-route orders diverted them to Singapore via Capetown, Durban and t...

35 for me. Qualified for The 92 Club at Feethams back in the 90's. Following Burnley up and down the divisions got me into the low 80's of grounds visited and then the bug got me. I had to complete the set. Some of these grounds had great atmosphere compared to the 'stadiums' they moved to - Stoke, ...

I've just returned from my local CAMRA branch meeting (Lichfield , Tamworth & Sutton)and seen the thread. There is definitely no charge for entry into CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. The pubs entered in the guide are selected and voted on by the local branch members. This follows regular surveys of the pub...

I'm on one right now. Cruising the Yangtze River at the moment from Wuhan to Chongquing. Having a great time, all included on board meals and drink. Does appeal to older folk as it isn't cheap. We're with Viking cruises and this is part of a wider holiday. We're also visiting Shanghai and Beijing . ...

Well done to all concerned. I can see there's a lot of hard work gone into this. Keep it up!
What a blessing, not to see all those poxy adverts blocking the screen.
