Correct. Aldershot's results were expunged. Maidstone went bust at the end of that season but managed to fulfill their fixtures.

Not news: https://inews.co.uk/explainers/iq/tottenham-hotspur-white-hart-lane-new-stadium-football/ The retractable pitch was announced about two years ago. It's a fundamental part of the stadium design. You can't decide half way through the build that a retractable pitch is something you might like...

Are you mad?

There are insane people who won't travel to London because of overblown fears of terrorism, yet you are thinking of going to Russia for a guaranteed kicking from a bunch of white supremacists?

Sausage

Shaun Harvey is absolutely correct; we are taking the p!ss. Forget the fact that many of the big clubs have devalued it over the last 20 years, it's been a joke of a competition for longer than I care to remember. The early rounds have been regionalised then nationalised and then regionalised again....

Ralph, I was thinking more along the lines of a bronze statue of Andy Payton menacingly holding a golf club.

Sausage

Surely the point of a LBGTQ Clarets club is to encourage those people who have had bad experiences at Turf Moor (or wherever) not to give up watching but to seek solace in the fact they’re not on their own. It doesn’t need to have an agenda to promote; if its sole purpose is to allow like-minded Bur...

Which makes it all the more strange that Ronnie Jepson, as manager, signed Efe Sodje for Gillingham.

Sausage

Didn't Efe Sodje deliberately get one of our players sent off in a game at Macclesfield around 1998? I seem to recall Stan Ternent having a massive set-to with Sammy 'The Teeth' McIlroy on the touchline afterwards. Sorry about the hazy details but it fairly p!ssed it down that day, we played terribl...

I do this in London because the hard water develops a scummy film as the tea is brewing. For some reason, adding the milk before removing the tea-bag seems to draw the film onto the bag as it's subsequently being removed.

It hasn't been a boozer for about two decades. The more worrying matter is that the replacement building is an absolute shocker. This hardly screams "Welcome to Burnley".

One of the best nights ever being a burnley supporter!! We might not have won much but a lot of us have great memories of the past.the present is an unexpected and deserved bonus! UTC!

Fair enough. Fancy nipping down to south east London to do my drive?

You can get them on ebay. Are you really sure you want to lay a path/patio this way? It looks like a massive faff.

Sausage

According the pub's website you can still book a Christmas Meal for 2015. If they put as much effort into the running of the pub as they did the website, I'm hardly surprised it's dying on its arse.

I work 30 seconds from the ground and can hear the helicopters overhead. Might need a hard hat for my walk to the tube station.

Looks fantastic but I have to query the inclusion of the infamous jade and black away kit. If there's one kit I'd happily take a cigarette lighter to, it's that one. Nowt but bad memories.

Great OP with one exception, and that's the suggestion that Frank Casper's reign was among the worst in BFC's history. With a budget that was two thirds of f-all, he made steady progress following on from Brian Miller, eventually getting us to the 1991 play-offs. Admittedly, the start to the 1991-92...

Some good advice there from Rileybobs and he's correct that I'm paying VAT at 20% whereas you won't be. A couple of other obvious things to consider are that a simple box is more economical to build than an L-shaped or C-shaped plan. Likewise, a really simple dual pitch roof construction is less cos...

Depends where you live, happyclaret. I live in outer London and the cost is generally about £250/sq ft to shell specification which I can corroborate with my current extension which is costing £57,000 to deliver a 225 sq ft floor area. I imagine the build cost in Burnley, or Merthyr Tydfil, or Huyto...

In fairness, even the club doesn't know what his name is:

Is it a deal with Church Paint and Varnish and a return of the CPV Paints Turf Moor sign?

Sausage

So you really don't see the Blackburn player going in two-footed? This isn't anything to do with Claret-tinted specs, it's about seeing what's right in front of you. And I'm not defending Bardsley's tackle at all.

Sausage

fidelcastro wrote:Watch it again.

Watched it four or five times. Both players could have seen red.

Sausage

fidelcastro wrote:It was Bardsley who went in two footed.

No, Bardsley went in one-footed, albeit with a stomping action. The Blackburn player went in two-footed.

Sausage

Bardsley could easily have seen red but the Rovers player clearly went in two-footed and received no punishment.

Sausage

It's a good metaphor for the state of the game and officials' approach to tackling - you can look but you can't touch.

It's a moot point, because I'll give the game away when we score.

I have been advised not to wear my Burnley shirt..I am having pre-match socialising with them as well.. :shock: Really? I've worn colours at Spurs on numerous occasions and never seen any bother in the pubs before or after. Like you, I've managed to bag a couple of season tickets off Spurs fans who...

Laughed at the following comment beneath the article: "Awful town, club, manager, players and fans. Boring cloggers. 20th please. Their place is in League One." which is why it's great to be confounding both the learned critics and the throbbing bellends. My prediction is that we'll finish 16th this...

Seventh. On the basis I don't think they'll be bad enough to get relegated, I hope they have a relatively successful season which sorely tests the loyalty of the fans and encourages Venkys to retain ownership. In short I'd like them to flirt with the play-offs and either miss out on the last day or ...

I think the lesson here is better the devil you know. While Puma kits might be straight out of a catalogue of standard designs, a bespoke job by Elev8 could induce a migraine.

I'm a firm advocate for safe standing but I don't see how the German examples help our cause in this country. There is a clear incentive in converting to standing in Germany because it increases the capacity (e.g. from 65,829 to 81,360 at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund) and therefore allows clubs to ma...

Gallagher had a medical, conducted by Dr Iven while Bond was away. Bond said he was horrified and tried to get the deal cancelled.
