That was the pass of the night from Long.

Elder statesman

I was at the game as a Nelson supporter. I think, from memory, Steve got 90 odd and Viv a ton. We don't get crowds like that any more. Excellent.

Elder statesman

I don't think Clitheroe will be in the top 3 of overall spenders in the league to be fair. No idea if Darwen flash the cash. Maybe it's just time to admit that other local cricket is as good or better than the Lance league? I was told by a Darwen official that the bulk of their team have been there...

Elder statesman

Why is Taylor being picked ahead of Ward? I thought Ward had a very good season. I assume we've still got him.

The Reichstag is worth a visit. There's a good city walking tour. Think it starts at Brandenburg gate.

I was always led to believe that 4 mph was average walking speed and I'm often being told that I walk fast, especially by Mrs ES, but I couldn't maintain it uphill. Good app though. Thanks and thanks Tony for the help. Hope it works.

Elder statesman

Downloaded runkeeper. Done my walk. Can anyone advise an old guy how to get it from my phone to this thread please?
Thanks

Elder statesman

Excellent CFC. Agree completely.

Elder statesman

A good result for,one pro, Nelson against the mighty Clitheroe, featuring 4 former Nelson players.

Elder statesman

I walk every day. Normally for between an hour and half and two hours during the week.An hour of that is uphill. I walk briskly and estimate my distance to be between 6 and 7 miles. I haven't found an app that I like so far and would welcome any suggestions. At weekends I normally walk for an hour. ...

Watch out for Burnley lad and fan, Christian Madden, playing in Liam's band on keys.

Elder statesman

Never miss. Love it.

Elder statesman

Cheers happy. Did Benbati. Let's hope Ryan can make it two.

Elder statesman

Happy like a fool let me down in my lucky 15. I"d 3 winners and 1 second. Would have tripled my money. Still can't complain. Cheers.

Elder statesman

Just landed back from our favourite part of Spain, Asturias. Very few Brits, great food, wine and cider and some lovely walks.

Elder statesman

Agree with what's been said. I did my first degree at 40 and I'm still studying in my 70 th year. You're never too old to learn. Best advice given to me; 1) change the things you can change and don't worry about the things you can't change. 2) life is like a game of cards. You can't do anything abou...

I use HL. I understand others might charge less but I like them and I'm doing fine thanks. I have various funds spread across Europe, Asia , small caps, emerging markets etc. I was taught two main things to consider when investing; 1) it's time in the market not timing the market. 2) Don't put all y...

Love it. It's a ten from me.

Elder statesman

I spent 3 years at York University and a year workng there after. I love the place. I was there 2 weeks ago. It looked fine to me.I hate to hear people slag it off. A top uni too. I wasn't underwhelmed.

Elder statesman

Colne must have been very disappointed. I would have been had the roles been reversed. All the hard work had been done. Chris Walton whipped through our top order. However, a superb partnership from Russ Bradley and Abass took the game away from Colne and provided fine entertainment for us Nelson fa...

Elder statesman

Huddersfield for me. One of my favourite away trips. Some cracking pubs.

Elder statesman

Great game at Seedhill. Nelson, chasing 227, were 44 for 6 and won.

Elder statesman

Yeah but come on, you were only playing Rishton! Agree Pete, not the strongest team but we play them every year and this has never happened before and don't want to take anything away from Devon and it's not every week us Nelson fans have something to shout about. And as most of the Rishton fans su...

Elder statesman

Been watching Nelson all my life. Today I witnessed the best innings in my lifetime. Devon Conway made 231 not out in Nelson's total of 354. The highest innings by any Nelson batsman in history and the highest ever by any batsman in the Worsley cup. And the sun shone. A great weekend all round.

Elder statesman

Agree about Ward and Lowton. The whole back five have been superb this season and they've had a lot of work to do.

Elder statesman

Sorry, saw the picture on my phone and thought Phil was fielding.

Elder statesman

Phil Pickles fielding for Rawtenstall. He later played for Nelson.

Elder statesman

We're 50 to 1 to go down at Oddschecker if anyone still has doubts.

Elder statesman

Well after 2 poor days, 4 winners and 2 seconds at good odds today. Well done Ruby. Didn't bother with the last race. Thanks for Barney Dawn, HC. Some spending money for our Newcastle, Sunderland trip.
Cheers

Four of us going up by train on Friday. Two nights in Newcastle.

Just finished the last of the Peter May, Lewis trilogy. I can really recommend it.

Elder statesman

Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run, in between the Peter May, Lewis trilogy.

Elder statesman

:lol: I can just see the 2 players they've poached from Nelson working behind the bar Yes 2 key Nelson players have gone for the money. My concern, as a Nelson fan, is that we finish up in the bottom half and don't play Burnley or Lowerhouse again. These are big fixtures for all 3 teams in terms of...

Several weekends planned then 2 weeks in Asturias in June.

Elder statesman

Sorry, don't know how to link it but the Times has compiled a list of the top earners at all Premier League Clubs.
Ours is Robbie Brady at £30,000 to £35,000 per week.

Elder statesman

No, you need to get them there.

Elder statesman

Love the Defour song. The Brady one, that was suggested, sounds good. Lancashire Home I like, but lets drop the Coyle one. Its about us and not them. Lets not get obsessed with a struggling Championship team.

There's a difference between " wanting to sit down" and "needing to sit down". The guy behind us wasn't capable of standing for 90 minutes. Should he stop going to away games?

Elder statesman

I go to a lot of away games and, overall, I think the atmosphere is good. Most of the fans get behind the team. West Ham wasn't good but more because of the ground design than anything else. It's a ground I won't be rushing back to. However, we do have a section of fans who are more interested in go...

I "m led to believe, personal terms agreed, medical tomorrow and, if ok, then eligible to play Tuesday .

Thanks Pete. We've done many trips with Accy Clarets but we were always planning a weekend in Swansea.

Elder statesman

Try Queens Hotel for real ale - proper old pub in the city centre near the marina - Gloucester Place, Maritime Quarter, Swansea SA1 1TY Holiday Inn is on its own next to the motorway. In the centre there is Premier Inn, Travelodge, Morgans, Marriott, Dragon Hotel, Grand Hotel. Mumbles has loads of ...

Elder statesman

Booked Holiday Inn, Swansea East, which it says is 4 miles out. Free cancellation so no probs and a good deal. A lot of the other hotels just have doubles. Now for the trains.

Elder statesman

Says on SSN, fee agreed.

Elder statesman

Sorry, should have asked where the best real ale pubs are?

Will mention it to my mate. Thanks.

Just had a look on the trainline and it looks a horrible journey to Swansea and back. It was saying the train gets you back to Burnley for 9.20 the next morning haha Looking at going Friday to Sunday. Was hoping the Supporters Club might have had one of their weekend trips there. Been on some good ...

Thanks Pete.

Sorry for hijacking the Bournemouth thread. Now that the Sky fixtures are out for March and this game isn't down to be televised , I guess I can go ahead and book the train and hotel? Does anyone know the away allocation? We do have well over 5000 points. Season ticket holders who go to away games, ...
