The Selomar, north bay, breakfasts to die for and great sea view, I stay there for cricket most years.

CleggHall

There is no better place to watch cricket than Tod, the view from the pavilion is staggeringly beautiful and the teas with onions in vinegar are to die for!

CleggHall

Northern Ireland 58 World Cup squad was very strong - Blanchflower, Bingham, Gregg, Wilbur Cush, Peacock, Mac, McParland and possibly Dougan. Amazing for such a small country.

CleggHall

Excellent, well done, thanks Tony.
It brings back memories for us oldies, West Ham game August 59 was my 1st, that Championship side photo must be the best ever of the Clarets.

CleggHall

Team of the last 10 years is unsurprisingly very strong but would that midfield create enough chances for Barnes and Ings?

CleggHall

But will you make last orders in the Staff?

CleggHall

Yes a nice spot, some bike that Beamish!

CleggHall

Mondsley - is that you Raymond?

CleggHall

As ever a lot of realism there Spice, it must be a nightmare trying to run a club like Milnrow and get teams out every weekend. The world has moved on but have the league management?

CleggHall

Sad news, Milnrow was a well run club in my youth.
1st casualty of the newly structured Lancashire League, long travel times don't help, Heywood were sensible in not signing up.

CleggHall

Molton Keynes?
Don't they mean Molten Keynes?!

CleggHall

When 3 of the top 6 batsmen fail, (Vince, Root,Morgan) you can't beat the Aussies. Sorry but we don't deserve to win this one and the wheels are coming off another World Cup. Disappointing but not the 1st time!

CleggHall

Give this Yorkshire Australian a warm welcome!

CleggHall

Great photos but makes me feel old looking at the spectators, players kit and ground facilities. Was 1969 so long ago!?

CleggHall

Campbell's book is not a bad read, 1970s football loosely based on a club like Burnley mixed up with IRA activity. Football description is good/realistic but won't spoil it for you, worth a read.

A pity this, Milnrow were a well run club in my youth, Cec Abrahams ( Johnny's dad) was their pro for many years. A South African better than d'Oliveira in my opinion.

CleggHall

Nice to know that Christian Fraser is a claret, a good journalist and political reporter.

CleggHall

Have seen Durham v Gloucester, Derbyshire, Northants this year but Div 2 cricket is a poor standard/spectacle.

CleggHall

Some genuine quality to choose from there, an area of strength in our recent sides.

CleggHall

Sad news, yes a good chaser, I had noted his recent absences, good luck Sinha-man.

CleggHall

No surprise there then, but for the old timers, is he better than John Angus?

Southern computer knows nothing about the north, thinks Newcastle-Burnley is a local derby!

CleggHall

Sounds just like Sedbergh, home of Lancashire cricket!

CleggHall

Anyone one from Newcastle posting on here, if so what is the latest news if any. Am writing this some 1.5 miles from SJP, local news suggests the potential sale is taking its time with fit and proper person checks etc. The rumour mill doon the toon is quiet, Ashley is not an easy guy to work/deal w...

CleggHall

Agree mdd2, Maurice Setters wiped Mac out in the 1st half in the West Brom game but, arm in a sling, Mac moved out to the right wing in the 2nd half and destroyed the WBA left back.
Memories!!

CleggHall

Sampdoria wanted to sign Mac but he and Mrs Mac preferred living in Burnley! He also had a chance to go to Argentina. Why Stoke of all clubs? - he went there when Bob Lord irrationally decided "to get rid". At the time Stoke were a toppish club playing good football with a side of classy, experience...

CleggHall

Agreed - Mac was a bit heavier and stronger than David Silva but had similar skills and influence on games.

CleggHall

Steve Watson ex-Newcastle managed them until February when results on the field were good. However Gateshead Stadium (athletics) is a lousy place to watch and play football, windy and the few supporters are miles away from the pitch with the athletics track in between.

CleggHall

Nice piece on Lowerhouse and Stan Heaton in today's Guardian, Saturday 25 May.

CleggHall

Garstang a nice little ground, I watched their youth team play FC Fylde there one Sunday morning last autumn.

CleggHall

Given the standard of batting in the County Championship do we still need 4 day matches? Spent 2 days at the Riverside watching Durham and Gloucester, poor cricket with feeble batting. I don't think anyone made 50 and 3 division 2 games including Lancs finished in less than 3 days. It is no wonder t...

CleggHall

Yes a logical squad, Willey and Denly not up to it and Dawson, Vince and Curran mainly cover for injuries.

CleggHall

Agreed Mondsley, you and my old mate Trevor Maden were probably playing the day of the broken coffee table!?

CleggHall

Yes 2 fiery types there but Gilchrist was as mad as a hatter.
Depeiza smashed a coffee table with his bat at Littleboro, unfortunately it was the main raffle prize!

CleggHall

An interesting piece that Ashington, Clairmont Depeiza coached me and the under 15s at Heywood Grammar school in 1960 and when I moved to Newcastle in 1977 I was amazed to find him still playing somewhere in the Durham league. West Indies wicket keeper but fast bowler in the leagues.

CleggHall

Try "Coral Bay, Pathos"!

CleggHall

Another runfest, Bairstow a ton, Roy 70+, an unequal contest between bat and ball.
Sixes were a rarity when I was a kid!

CleggHall

A poor performance, couldn't bat 50 overs and looked a bowler light.

CleggHall

Didn't he do well!?
With apologies to Bruce Forsyth.

CleggHall

Joe Hart third in the player of the year, takes a bit of explaining?
Best player week after week in a poor side before Xmas I guess but an unusual final outcome.

CleggHall

Passports and visas required for the Kettledrum!

CleggHall

I like Danny but he is a bit of a loose canon, how many times has he been sacked?

CleggHall

Seymour Nurse, ex-Lancs League pro, died today in W. Indies, an outstanding batsman in a great 1960s side. RIP

CleggHall

Little to argue with there, he's dead right about fancy-dan foreign players. Defour overall has been an expensive flop, we tried but failed with him. Dyche knows what he wants and is generally right, performances/results since Xmas have been excellent, let's hope next season kicks off in similar sty...

CleggHall

Very fair report, did we save our 2 worst performances for Everton?

CleggHall

What do we need to do to get a penalty?
2 handed push in the back in the area looks one to me.

CleggHall

A clear penalty that, Vydra is worth persevering with, a good 2nd half.

CleggHall

Bistro des Amis in Skipton is good, mix of pub and French restaurant, nothing fancy but meal for 2 with wine comes in at £45. I have just left there.

CleggHall

Playing in Gosforth, Newcastle near where I live, unfortunately I'm on holiday in Skipton!

CleggHall

If you've not been savaged by ty and the late lotty on this board, you've never lived!
