Burnley won’t disappoint, they will take it to the wire and we will all be sweating on the last day of the season . I do so hope I am wrong!!

You should have a screen confirming you’re in the ballot and an email as well.

Thank you Martin, I didn't complete the free payment box properly, but all sorted now and email confirmation received.

I got to checkout and then “select payment option” when nothing happens as the ticket is free. I assume I am in the ballot but no confirmation appeared !

Whenever I buy a shirt it seems to have already been pre-shrunk !! Seriously though, sizes do seem to be different depending on the supplier. Being an XL I found the puma shirts a better fit for me than the umbro ones which are little more “tailored “ revealing the lockdown lump

Vydra on bench for CR too ?

Another big crowd with a great atmosphere, do they not have coronavirus in India?

Claretforshaw

It's done WBA well hasnt it scoring those 5 extra goals so far! And Fulham and Newcastle, Norwich last year played some good football & they even beat City! What is it with this notion that you have to create more chances and play better football to survive. It's nonsense. It's just as important ke...

Claretforshaw

My concern is that, at times, the teams around us seem to play better football than we do, certainly create more chances and score more goals. Saturday will be a stern test for us even if we get some injured players back and may be a measure of the odds on our survival in the premier league.

I used to get about 4 or 5 hours per night, if I was lucky, but since I have had my CPAP machine I get on average 8 hours per night quite often more than that, a real life saver.

Whilst you can switch on to BT online, you have to telephone sky to cancel which is a bit of a pain particularly as they tend to want to sell you something and that can result in a long conversation! Easy to add something to your package not so easy to take it away. Having said that I spoke to a you...

Claretforshaw

Very well written by those two, as you would expect. You can rent (£3.99 I think) or buy for £7.99 from Amazon Prime which I did as I know I will watch it again......and then again. Either way good value.

Claretforshaw

Can't believe I left out Bill Nighy, great performance and excellent singing voice........in the end ! Apologies for incorrect spelling of Billy Connolly.

Claretforshaw

Lockdown boredom gave me the urge to watch "Still Crazy" again after a gap of some years. Such an entertaining film and great performances from Stephen Rea, Billy Connelly, Jimmy Nail and especially Tim Spall, I enjoyed the music too. One to watch if you need cheering up.

Claretforshaw

Ashley has been great for us, and may well be for sometime to come, but I wonder whether Vyds could be a good replacement........given the chance.

Claretforshaw

Vydra...... unless I have missed something I assume he is injured but no mention in pre match press conference. Would he have made a difference today?

Claretforshaw

Not sure if this has already been posted but having only lived in the area for a short time I know I live in Rochdale but I am uncertain whether I live in Lancashire or Greater Manchester, I think it is now the latter.

Claretforshaw

Rightly or wrongly I paid to watch the WBA game but Sky never charged me. I telephoned them today and they said it didn't go through their system so I got it for free ! Maybe the man at Sky is a Claret and we only pay if we win !!!

Swapped the sea for the Pennines.....love it. There are some pretty good places in this part of the world that match the Garden of England.

Its a small world, I moved from Bookham in Surrey to Herne Bay when I was 10 in 1962, I was already a Burnley fan by then. I lived close to Winch's Field the home of "The Bay" and became a fan at an early age, almost as long as I have supported the Clarets. I had some great times there and served on...

Claretforshaw

Newcastle away will be a tough match, despite our recent form, any chance we could have VAR (and I don't mean Vydra And Rodriguez) on the bench just in case we need a little help from our friends down in Stockley Park ?

Claretforshaw

Just finished reading the book which is a great insight into the good, bad and ugly of our great club and Lord Bob. I thoroughly enjoyed it so well done to Dave Thomas and Mike Smith.

Paul Young, my daughter thought the lyrics were " Every time you walk away you take a piece of MEAT with you " !!

We have a great bunch of fans, Wednesday was my first away game of the season, so glad I was able to get there. I love the atmosphere our supporters create at an away game and I am just like all the other fans, I celebrate any goal we score like a man possessed BUT to those few fans who ran passed m...

Right opposite Manchester Road station is a pub called The Star. Nice people good food excellent breakfast at weekends and a carvery from 12 o’clock. I will be there for food and a beer or two before the match. It’s a family pub and quite a few supporters home and away get in there. Wherever you go ...

About this time last year we had a wake up call from a mediocre team ( Everton) and then went on a decent run that retained our Premiership status. We will have to withstand the "Bruce" effect, the "Eddie" effect and then the Ferguson/AN Other effect and maybe "Solskjaer" effect BUT we have the DYCH...

Correct that is exactly what I meant but my badly worded original question was probably open to misinterpretation. Thank you for the information though Tony.

Claretforshaw

Ok so let me put it another way. Where did the Jensen, whose signing has yet to be confirmed by the club and who is not related to the Beast and therefore no relation, come from ?? Not that it matters but I was just interested.

Claretforshaw

Thank you Tony for the sensible response !! Bosscat I was merely asking from whence the other Jensen came from if no relation to the Beast.

Claretforshaw

Bosscat wrote:No relation m8, same surname thats all

Ok thanks for that Bosscat. Where did the “no relation “ come from?

Claretforshaw

I wasn’t sure at first but when I googled him it was him, the “Beast” on my flight from Belfast to Manchester yesterday. I assume he is still at Crusaders ? Did I read somewhere that his son has signed for us ?

Claretforshaw

The next train would be an hour later but the delayed one should be here shortly so I will only be about an hour and 20mins late .... again !!

Claretforshaw

No it’s not, I have many other worries in life but Northern Rail just adds to them. Having waited an hour for the next train, they have just announced it is delayed due to congestion even though the one before was cancelled !! Last season this kind of disruption was happening on a regular basis.

Claretforshaw

First Saturday match of the season and the 17.38 train back to Rochdale and Manchester Victoria cancelled. Northern Rail is a joke.

Claretforshaw

Anyone else not received their season tickets yet or is it just me ?

Claretforshaw

............Paul Pogba ???

Merton, Wimbledon,makes me a Womble I suppose!

What kind of person shouts this out loud micro seconds after a drive, a fairway shot or a putt ? Also why does Tiger always look so miserable ? Back pain maybe?

Not leaving home without paracetamols in your pocket. Tying shoe laces becomes mission impossible. Short term memory loss. Going into a room and wondering why. Forgetting names hence calling people "there" ...."Hello there, how are you?" Being introduced to "touchscreen" and realising you have dysle...

Yes Stalbansclaret I usually do look at the reviews but obviously not close enough for this film. I think I read somewhere that 78% of google users liked the film, they must have had the same number of brain cells as the members of the audience laughing when I went to see the film!

Since retiring a few years ago my Wife and I are regular visitors to the cinema, something we never had much time to do when we were both working, its something we both enjoy doing.

The Island is very special to me and my family too. I'm sure this story, and no doubt there are other similar tales to tell,would interest my Guernsey friends.

Claretforshaw

Thank you for that post InRB, very interesting.

Claretforshaw

Having just returned from Guernsey and speaking to locals celebrating "Liberation Day" yesterday, it seems that many children were evacuated to Burnley prior to the German occupation of the Island which lasted 5 years. As a frequent visitor to the Island over the last 45 years it's not the first tim...

I have been driving for nearly 50 years Jim Mc but if I can possibly avoid it nowadays I will, plus I do enjoy a pre-match drink as part of the match day experience. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person?

Claretforshaw

I travel from Rochdale to Burnley Manchester Road regularly on match day, if I can, but the service provided by Northern Rail is nothing short of appalling with little thought or respect for their paying customers. Apart from 40 plus weeks of industrial action, causing most trains to be cancelled on...

Never been to Anfield so I am looking forward to my first visit, what is the best way to get there and back from Lime Street, the match day bus they lay on from St Johns? Is the return journey a bit of a mission? Are the any away friendly pubs around the ground or is the only option for a pre match ...

I am with you Smudge all the way. Pick the strongest team to win a match particularly in the FA Cup, upsets happen sometimes you know. I was brought up on the FA Cup, 1962 cemented my love of Burnley and I know you only gain about 10 million from winning but its a trophy we could win unlike the Prem...

I once saw Soft Machine at a small venue in Canterbury Kent around 1968, I think a couple of members of the band went to my old school as I recall the Headmaster played their first single "Love makes sweet music" in assembly...a bit weird! I think Caravan had Canterbury connections too. As a 15 year...

Having been less than impressed with the away end facilities at Huddersfield, considering that it is a comparatively new purpose built stadium, and having never experienced the CFS I just wondered how we treated away fans.
