Re: Kyle Walkers Son at Burnley

Alan Rogers - former Forest and Leicester City full back - also has a son who has come through the ranks at the academy and now plays for the under 21s I think.

Re: Maatsen video on social media

If this is the same Ian Maatsen as the one that helped us win the league last year and spent last Christmas delivering presents to families in Burnley that were struggling to pay for Christmas then I'll not get too offended.

Re: Old Pharmacy in Burnley

Loads of great pictures around Burnley in the 60s & 70s http://oldburnley.blogspot.com/p/padiham-road.html You've made my day posting that: those pictures were taken by my grandad, William Green. Apparently he realised that the town was going to undergo massive changes in the 60s and 70s and he wan...

Re: England v Ireland Test match

I heard one bit of clarets related news today. One of the Test Match Special summarisers, Alex Hartley, confirmed that she is a Burnley fan, albeit a partially lapsed one.

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets

And your reply to my 25 year old daughter would be? Oh you’ve got 1100+ points but you don’t fit my argument so I won’t reference you. UTC My reply would be that your daughter was fortunate enough to get a ticket to the Aberdeen away game. This was another match that ticket demand massively outstri...

Re: Boundaries?

There is a "Welcome to Calderdale" road sign on Burnley Road that is well short of the mill itself but the County boundary actually travels down the middle of Burnley Road (as you head towards Todmorden) quite a way. So it does take in a small amount of the mill, as Ricardo Montalban says. Looking a...

Re: Boundaries?

It's a mistake from the LET - the application has been made to Calderdale Council (it's on their Planning Website) not Burnley BC. The rule is that every local council is the Local Planning Authority that decides planning application for their own area - you can't decide applications outside of your...

Re: Attack On Pearl Harbor......

Oh, short term - yeah But what could the Japanese have done short term more than they did? By June 1942, they had conquered everything that they could (and had already started to over stretch their logistic capabilities) Yeah, they might have grabbed Midway and some other islands but there was neve...

Re: Black History Month - Burnley FC

Johnny Francis's two goals at Plymouth in the play offs come to mind, and are still one of my favourite memories as a claret. I remember being so despondent after we could only draw 0-0 at the Turf and didn't think we had much of a chance in the away leg, but on the night Plymouth's defence have a c...

Re: Ben Gibson

Setting aside whether Norwich are obliged to sign him or not, I really hope that Gibson makes a full recovery for the start of next season. Whilst things obviously haven't worked out for him at Burnley, he has gone to Norwich, played a lot, and really earned his chance to play in the Premiership aga...

Re: Katie Zelem

My eldest son was in North Manchester Hospital about 18 months ago with an ear infection. After three long nights the nurse discharging him had the surname Zelem. I couldn't resist asking if she was any relation, and it turns out that the nurse was Peter Zelem's niece. Her dad was Peter's twin broth...

Re: Enzo from Enzos Pizza R.I.P

Really sorry to hear that karatekid, I've been going in for years and hearing the news has really put a chill down my spine. I was in there about a fortnight ago and could see what a good set up there was - they had a lad wiping down all the surfaces and were limiting numbers in the shop. I wouldn't...

Re: Cardiff 0 Burnley 2 1992

That's right Tony - a 19 year old Gerry Harrison played for Cardiff as well as Gavin Ward. It was a decent Cardiff team that we beat, they also had Nathan Blake and Eddie Newton (on loan from Chelsea) playing. Up front they had Chris Pike playing who was a typical lower leagues target man, but his n...

Re: Cardiff 0 Burnley 2 1992

I was sat in the main stand for this game, I've no idea where my dad got the tickets from, but it is the scariest atmosphere I've ever seen on a match. I remember walking down to the ground before kick off and the first thing that I saw was a brick bouncing off the window of a Burnley supporters coa...
