A bit off topic I suppose, but there'll be celebrations all over the county on Sunday for the annual Lancashire Day.

Piccy of outside The Woodman on Tod Rd just turned 11am this morning. Front and side doors both open
Presumably known about beforehand by police and quite a lot of fans.
Doors stayed open throughout and after the game. No trouble whatsoever.

On reflection and thinking about the OP ...

There are a lot of flights similar up and down the border if you keep checking. I didn’t post them as I didn’t think most people were interested.

Sorry Lowbank but:-

There aren't.

For as long as there has been watches, it’s always been an attraction to a large number of men.

losing to Wimbledon in the FA Cup in 1975.

I listen to Phil Bird whilst watching our games - unfortunately for some reason the commentary is about a minute behind the TV pictures which is a pity but I put up with it.
Otherwise I also turn the sound off.

Pause and restart the TV to synchronise perhaps?

Remember both competitions in late 1940's and early 1950's. The Keighley Cup was played between Rosegrove, Abel Street (Barden), St Mary's and Towneley.

Why not four AR's to cover each quarter of the pitch

Could be quite good fun. I can picture 'em concentrating on the game running towards each other at full pelt, coming together at the half way line and collapseing in a heap rolling around screaming

Just about to post this sad news Tony, 'Accy Sue' rang me last night to let me know.

I can find nothing positive in getting old.

Trouble is, there's only one alternative and that's worse.
