In your absence there has been a bit of a Sandstorm on this site. Alright and Fine time have been the major topics of discussion.

Sorry.

I didn’t know that. I’m sure I’ve been in too. This is the one in Colwyn Bay.

It.was a bit nippy up at The Arbories this afternoon. My Benny and Hot at half time was tepid within seconds. Padihams 2nd goal was an excellent move.

One of the best written football reports involving our supporters. Thank you Mr Sadler. Our greatest defeat ever ? I don't think that the result mattered a jot. We were there and back. Derby fans applauded us and we kept on singing. Jimmy Mullen was a hero that day. It was a start of things to come....

when you consider Napoli. Lazio and Marseille's ultra's attacked their own training grounds I would say the definition is debatable I could be a candidate considering I only live a stones throw from our own Barnfield Training Camp. Come to think of it, I could throw some stones rather than a direct...

I have recently started to use my mobile as a genuine alternative to carrying around a compact camera. I have had a Huawei P30 Pro. I replaced the P30 Pro recently and had looked at the top end Iphone 13's and the Samsung Ultra's but went for the New Google Pixel 6 Pro. It takes some great images bu...

I'm only going to review the savoury options as I don't generally do sweet: Oddies by a country mile. It goes down to the pastry element for a start. Oddies do the flaky pastry and Greggs go for the dense heartburn city route. Oddies Savouries, Corned Beef Pasties and Cheese and Onion Pasties are to...

Language and dialect constantly evolves. 'Aswell' is now singular instead of 'As Well'. 'Called it' is now used across all media to replace 'Called it off' when referring to an official decision to abandon / postpone a match. 'F*cking Covid' is another recent addition to our repertoire of general st...

It is so difficult to convey the humour when you need a full context of the situation. Most often, these have a 'backstory' and unless you are familiar with the characters or the story it gets lost in translation.

With the Burnley game being postponed I was trying to have a relaxed evening with the prospect of a good night's sleep. Thanks Tony for your reminder about the cricket. I now have had to set my alarm for some godforsaken hour during the night to watch us getting battered by the Aussies again. Luckil...

Did we not have a Golden Gate to sign David Reeves who was on loan from Bolton ?

Blokes with buckets at the gates.

The £65,000 price tag seems to ring a bell but I could be miles off. I heard that the buckets raised around £65 quid.

The missus and I go regularly to Southport for a night or a weekend away. There is now a direct train from Burnley. Nowt wrong with a bit of faded seaside glamour. Get down to Silcocks amusements on the Pier to play the Twopenny Falls ! As above, I would avoid staying at any of the Britannia hotels ...

A League Cup trophy would be a bit like winning the Anglo Scottish Cup in the late 70's. Although, many will have fond memories of the home time against Celtic.

Went for a day out in York a couple of weeks ago. I think the offer was on Thursdays only but it was £2.00 return for me and the missus from Burnley. The offer seemed to be throughout the Northern Rail network.

I shall be watching the match at a Brewpub in Krakow, Poland. T.E.A. TIME (The English Ale Time) is owned and run by a passionate brewer and big Burnley fan. His family have been involved in breweries in the West Yorkshire area for many years and he now serves traditional hand pulled real ales to ol...

If you travel anywhere and someone asks you where you are from, do you say Bur-Ner-Lee ?

Whilst cheap nearby parking to the ground is available, leaving is a whole different experience. We are a small town with a ground in the centre. Therefore, access by road, rail and all other services are not ideal. But it's home. Over the last few seasons it is plainly obvious that a capacity of 25...

If you fancy eating out then you won't go far wrong with Continentals next to the Keirby Hotel. They also have a Deli across the road.

The missus and I used to like weekends away in the north of England (the big cities, Harrogate, York and the Lakes etc). I've not looked at a UK break since way before COVID. Trips into Europe have proved to be much better value. Poland is always a consideration. We have previously stayed in Krakow,...

Clitheroe will be sick of the sight of Lowerhouse this season.

I think we won the league fixture at their place.

Then was the cup final.

Today saw them grab defeat from the jaws of victory after having the House at 44-7 in the first innings, thus ending their title hopes.

Dressinggown

Big gate ?

Dressinggown

House built a good platform to crack on but then had a needless run out followed by a flurry of wickets. The sub Pro was still in. It looked unlikely that we would get 200 and then the pro got himself set and then went mental. What a sight. He smashed it to all parts and beyond to the delight of the...

New Zealander, Cairns, was the professional at Bacup CC at the same time as Australian, Ryan Harris, was pro at Lowerhouse CC. They were, therefore, big cricketing rivals. Their first meeting that season took place at Lanehead. Both players were in fine form with bat and ball. Cairns came to the wic...

I'm sure that scamming via mobile phones and Email is now extremely sophisticated and I have heard about the current stuff going around.

All those painful defeats against Rovers over a number of decades were put to bed when Danny Ings scuffed it past Robinson for that late winner.

Great win for the House. Verbals started pretty early with the Walsden bowler nearly taking off Ben Heaps head when taking a shy at the " wickets". Words were exchanged. Nothing the House faithful enjoy more than a bit of crowd/player banter. I think it was the guy given out LBW who after having a ...

The 2 Travelodge places near the Pleasure Beach have been fine. Same for the 2 hotels owned by the Pleasure Beach (Big Blue & Boulevard). The Hampton by Hilton is also close by but have not stayed there.

Avoid any of the Britannia hotels unless you are proper desperate.

Dressinggown

Wow. What a game. House were virtually dead and buried following their dismal batting performance. Walsden are a very good side and would have had the expectation of chasing 130 with ease. How they were wrong. The Walsden openers had their stumps uprooted early doors by Hawke and Haasbrook and Lower...

' House will need to put the heavy defeat at Darwen today behind them with a matter of urgency before the Worsley Cup Semi-Final at home against Walsden CC tomorrow.

Weather is set fair and a bumper gate is expected.

UTH.

Have to agree with this one, it was a terrible journey back, nobody spoke. Yep, right up there with the worst. Was it a Bank Holiday Monday ? I remember arriving at the ground to be in a huge number of Clarets trying to get in the ground and things went pear shaped from there. An exit gate was open...

I would like to see some stats but as a general rule it appears that the slow, stuttering, short runups are not for anyone unless they are world class penalty takers. It gives the keeper the possibility that they can see the strikers 'eyes'. I'd also appreciate any stats about the efficacy of smashi...

We, as with most of our World population, have had to take huge steps to avoid the widespread CORONA for months on end.

Today was the antidote.

Absolute mayhem on the outside picnic tables at Lowerhouse Cricket Club when the second went in.

Tears of Joy was an understatement.

Dressinggown

Frankie still plays like a professional but he is also engrained into the House team ethic. Lowerhouse have again, what seems, recruited a top professional with Parry. I was expecting that he would take a good few wickets with the ball but he also seems very comfortable with the bat as well. A 2 yea...

Got 7 but most were just guesses.

Lowerhouse won against a rather poor Colne side in the T20 at the David Wren Way this evening. There was a surprisingly large crowd despite that there was no route into the next round for either side. It was also bloody freezing. There were a good few on from Colne. Hats off for all those folks who ...

I know it's only 2nd team cricket but I watched Liam Simm score 191no and break Padihams amatuer record today. I'm sure you will be proud.

Well done Liam - That is one big score for any amateur batsman.

I think you know who is posting this.

Dressinggown

Parry, the Lowerhouse professional, is certainly earning his wage.

We expected some good bowling but we now have a top batsman as well.

80+ runs and 6 wickets today.

House are on the charge.

There were 2 bars in Krakow, Poland, which had Burnley shirts on the walls.

My mate owns the TEA Team brewpub next to the river. Worth a visit.

The House tried to take advantage of the weather conditions. Batting first and getting on with it for a while but then Walsden brought on some spinners and the innings fell apart. . 12 of the home side were out LBW for a paltry amount. Hundreds celebrated the localised monsoon at the start of the Wa...

I've not been over to Middleton but I would have thought that 250 should be a winning score.

I'll take our win at Wolves instead.

As per the others, Grezza and Barton were outstanding and not over a handful of appearances.

How good was Barton despite his reputation?

Alexander was PNE and always a thorn in our side. He was even better when he signed for us. Is there a better penalty conversion rate in the modern era ?
