If kicking is Pope's weak area then surely it is an area that can be concentrated on in training.

As long as he keeps performing like he has. Brilliant saves, claiming high balls, positioning, control of the area. We have been blessed with goalkeeping excellence over the last few years.

Dressinggown

The weather will have a big influence on tomorrow's events.

A nice day would mean that pub outdoor areas could accommodate further punters.

I believe that the weather is unfavorable.

Dressinggown

Great performance tonight. Would a European spot calm the waters within the club ?

Dressinggown

I'm not sure that cricket via media is helping me.

Been watching a recording of Ben Stokes batting with the chap with glasses at Headingley in the Ashes. Incredible.

Now I just want some form of live local cricket.

Dressinggown

Used to love The Cemetery in Rochdale. 6 pints of Moorhouse's Ultimate Owd Ale (7.8%) as a warm up can't be faulted.

Dressinggown

I inherited a big tabby cat who was living under my Dad's car. He had 3 cats of his own and they did not get on.

I had the cat for 17 years.

Vowed not to get another.

I now have a 2 year old tortoise shell who was in need of a home.

Dressinggown

Please no.

The noise and mayhem when Ashley Barnes scored the late winner against Palace will forever be up there with the best.

Dressinggown

Thompson's looping effort at Reading in the 2nd leg of the play-offs.

This was only moments after Martin Paterson scored that stunning strike with his wrong foot.

Wembley beckoned and then Wade Elliot had that run, the ball broke for him and he steered it into the top corner.

Joy.

The schools and authorities are following guidance provided. I couldn't give a crap about political bias. The situation is as bad as it gets.

Dressinggown

Absolutely gutted. As with the football, for me and many others it is not just about the match. It is a way of life which has suddenly ended. For some of our members at the cricket club it is the only time that they get to socialise. In my experience the Lancashire League clubs and supporters are br...

It was all down to ground safety. Maybe it was 8,000 on the terraces.

Hope you are keeping well. I think you are right about 8,000 terrace capacity. A total of around 7,000 seats in the other 2 stands.

Dressinggown

Always being a progressive forward thinking club we were self isolating way before it was necessary or even thought about. Apart from a few mentalists up at the top of the Longside, Social Distancing was far from being a problem at the Turf in those days. Me, my Dad and a couple of random blokes ha...

Dressinggown

No, it was Lord trying to get money into a bankrupt club which he'd all but destroyed. There was a point in time when our capacity went down to around 8,000. I think that's when we split the Bee Hole and Longside with a fence from top to bottom. The 8,000 capacity seems a bit strange when the offic...

Blond bird from reading wouldnt last 2 mins we me on this trip. Id leave her behind

I would happily knock the back out of that. However, 2 minutes seems a bit of a challenge.

Dressinggown

How the World has changed. I recall putting money into the 'Golden Gate' at the turnstiles towards the purchase of David Reeves who was on loan from either Bolton / Chesterfield / Carlisle. It would have been 1987ish. The 'Golden Gate' was an individual turnstile and fans queued to put their hard ea...

First episode just been on Channel 5. Over Windermere. Virtually no narration just stunning images.

Lose yourself for an hour.

36 for me. I try to forget Ninian Park.

Dressinggown

Despite stating that I would never go to Cardiff again, I went down again last season. We won but it was a completely different experience . We walked into a pub near the ground which was rammed with home fans who made us feel welcome. How times change. This was over a period of decades not the chan...

I was in the same minibus as 1fatclaret: The journey down took about a week in a 25 year old vehicle. We stopped for a few beers at a working men's club on the outskirts of town. I went for a slash and an OAP asked me if we were Burnley supporters. When I said yes he spat on my shoes. Arriving at th...

Life from now onward will significantly change as a result of this.

The knock on effects are immense.

All the best.

Dressinggown

In the absence of basic foodsuffs on the supermarket shelves I have been supplementing my diet with Animal Grade Hay from my local Pet Shop. It is cheap but does have it's disadvantages which results in rather frequent visits to the lavatory. This could prove inconvenient with the current bog roll c...

Dressinggown

Capacity increase should be quite far down our list of priorities with regard to the ground. The JHS and JMS are rarely full. As has been said in many other posts, any increase in capacity will only result in more away fans attending.. We have created a good bit of an atmosphere in the CFS which has...

Dressinggown

Re-roofing the CFS is surely not an option? The rear wall is buckling and cracks are plainly evident. I'm surprised that we get a safety certificate. It would be bonkers to try and replace the roof. Knock it down and start again. This doesn't need to be a massive project: Single tier, standing room ...

Wrong colours and I'm considerably more handsome than those chaps.

I sit in Row S in the BLS.

Where did you say the screen is ?

Is Dressinggown the new smoking jacket?

Interesting as well as confusing.

Dressinggown

Will you be wearing your dressing gown utc During the mid to late Eighties and early Nineties there was a group of us who travelled the country following the Clarets in hired minibuses (Sensible Priced, Intack Hire, Salford Van Hire, Craig Dickenson etc). For some reason we all started wearing Dres...

Cheers Pete. I will get on at the Turf.

Dressinggown

Is the pick up on Harry Potts way ? I always used to get on at the Stanley in Accrington.

Dressinggown

Cheers Pete.

See you Saturday.

Dressinggown

Cheers pal.

Dressinggown

Not by Deed Poll.

The Lowerhouse pics will be from me, unable to recognise myself in photos.

It still gets the main issue of the lack of travel options to Newcastle unresolved.

Dressinggown

I don't suppose that you have a spare seat for Newcastle ?

Cheers.

Dressinggown

The joy of scoring has gone.

Football has gone.

Dressinggown

Got myself a ticket for the game. I have never seen Burnley there in the top division although I lived in Newcastle for a few years. Chances recently have been poor with late fixture changes meant that going was impossible. I believe that the stairs to the away seats are 14 stories. If that's the ca...

Had a couple of pints watching the match in the pub but now on the vodka at home. Will celebrate with a curry later on.

The Clarets make me happy when skies are grey !

Dressinggown

Vodka gone. Tesco is lit up but is closed at this time on a Sunday. Local pubs and off licences are without the means to take contactless payments.

Things are getting pretty desperate here. Should I contact the the Emergency Services?

Dressinggown

Still no leccy here on the Dark Side.

I have around 10 minutes left on my phone. Same goes for the vodka.

Can I come round to your house?

Please respond quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to ring a taxi.

Dressinggown

Still no power here in Padiham.

Its always been a bit in the dark ages anyway.

No power here in Padiham.

I have been in the gents in The Rifle Volunteers with Big Red Rose to take some photos.

There are few sides who win at Old Trafford.

We were absolutely superb.

Destroyed our chances in the Bridge quiz night.

Dressinggown

I would have been delighted with a draw.

Great 2nd half performance.

It goes a long way to cementing our place the in best league in the world.

Dressinggown

Hark now hear.

Ugly football can be the most beautiful when you are fighting to remain in the best league on this planet.

Dressinggown

Padiham FC offer half price entry to all home games for anyone with a Burnley FC season ticket.

They tend to kick off at 3:00pm on a Saturday so there is little chance that it will conflict with any Clarets fixtures.

£3. Give it a go.

Dressinggown

A flat above an Art Shop in Padiham has been in a major fire. There are rumours that there was someone in the building at the time.

Dressinggown

I 'm not disputing the fact. Being **** at most things seems to be a recurrent theme throughout my life.

Dressinggown

I reckon that the most damaging factor to Hart's career is being thrown on the advertising scrapheap by Head & Shoulders due to his lack of hair.

The next is the fact that he is rubbish in the nets.

I will show my face.
