Cheers, train booked. Looking forward to this one. We might not play them again for a while.

Elder statesman

Done. Annoyed about this. Booked hotel in Swansea on free cancellation but daren't book train. We'll end up paying top dollar.

Drinking is horribly expensive nowadays, and I think most young people would struggle to afford once per week. Mid week drinking is a thing of the past as well, a lot of young people prefer to go to the gym and do other things which are lets face it, healthier and cheaper. Think it depends where yo...

Big game next week. Can we increase the gap? We're told we need to beat the teams around us, but I didn't expect the teams around us to be Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs. What a season!

They certainly look good together.

Wrong people to email. The Premier League sort it all out after working with Sky and BT. The problem here is with the league, not the television companies who have already submitted their picks to the league. Didn't realise that Tony. It just makes the train a lot more expensive when you can't book...

Elder statesman

I emailed Sky about this. I asked them when the dates would be released. Their reply was " your guess is as good as mine" Was hoping to book the train for Swansea. Daren't risk it in case we play Sunday afternoon. The trouble is it gets more expensive the longer you wait.

Elder statesman

Due to be released today apparently. Can't find anything yet. Was hoping to sort the Swansea trip out. Does anyone know how many tickets we normally get?

Elder statesman

And well deserved. I thought. He was mom on Saturday. Never before have so many Burnley players featured in one season. Happy days.

Elder statesman

I started this thread. We just missed out. First time we've ever missed out. We all have well over 5000 PTS and have held season tickets for ages. My mate went home and found out his step brother, who doesn't have a season ticket , very rarely watches Burnley, and doesn't have any points, was booked...

Just been told there are none left.

Any Spanish speakers check out this article in Marca, Spanish sports paper. Our fame has spread. Sorry can't do link. I think there's a link to translate it too.

Ref, Ben Toner, has been stood down for the Blackpool game. You couldn't make this up.

Thanks Pete

Elder statesman

3 please Pete, in the name of Kenyon. One from Nelson and two from Burnley. Can we all be on the same coach please? We were split up last time. Thanks,

Stan Beeston. A foreman on the Council's flagging team. I think he lived up Shelfield Rd.
They used to ring a bell when a fight broke out.

Nick was named in Jason Burt's team of the week. Wouldn't have been surprised to see Tarko in either. Excellent.

I've got the same letter and I've had enough. I've been with them for a long time, since the NTL days. I ring up every year to cancel and they give me a better deal but then half way through the new contract they raise the price again. I don't have movies, just sports, landline (which I don't need) ...

Well done C & J. I completed my first degree at 40 , having been denied the opportunity in my youth.

Thanks Pete

Pete, 3 in our group under Kenyon booked on. One from Nelson and two from Burnley. Does the bus from Nelson stop in Burnley. If it does we'd like to be on the same bus if possible ?
Thanks

For those too young to remember, the Imp was a major venue. All the top acts played there and at their peak too. Beatles, Stones, Who, Stevie Wonder etc. Tickets were on sale at the Bull Hotel, a good pub at the time. Happy days.

Elder statesman

Wouldn't have been the trophy room!

Hope this works. This is from the show I saw 50 years ago at Nelson Imp. Excellent show.

Thanks Sydney

Can someone please remind an old chap how to add a picture to an existing thread? I want to add something to the Stax thread.

They can come to my club whenever they want and be given 100% transparency to the club accounts and access to every single player and his registration. Over a coffee we might even show them a breakdown of our major investment and considerable work put into junior croaching and they could watch the ...

Hence my comment about sour grapes; singling out the new boys who are about to win the league doesn't seem like trying to tackle a problem that is widespread in the league. Don't think, for one minute, it's widespread. There are very strong rumours about 2 of the 3 new clubs. Not aware of any other...

Elder statesman

Certainly not sour grapes. I don't mind who wins the league as long as we all play by the rules.

Elder statesman

So glad this is happening. They poached two Nelson players too.
Nelson v Clitheroe was the only game to finish on Sunday. Hurricane Irma wouldn't have stopped Clitheroe playing. Much of the game played in the rain.

Elder statesman

I enjoyed the show. I actually saw the original one 50 years ago. I understand the concerns about James Morrison etc. However, I believe the beeb tried their best to recreate the original show. Unfortunately, Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding weren't available. Great music, a big part of my growing up.

RIP Damo.

Called in one lunch time en route to the station, as the Ministry was shut. Tried 3 different beers. Couldn't drink any of them. All 3 of us took them back. Maybe that's one of the reasons it didn't survive. Pity. Great location.

Elder statesman

It doesn't bother me either way. The older generation who whinge the most about it took advantage of bigger gates and collections every week. Whatever makes the stronger standard is fine by me. The richer clubs always had the advantage by signing the best Pro's as well. I represent the older genera...

Can I book for 3 please Pete. One from Nelson and two from Burnley. The name is Kenyon.

Done a lot of travelling. We always do our own thing. Just book flights and then our own accommodation. Did Galapagos 2 years ago. Flights to Quito, 3 weeks in Ecuador ( a fabulous country) and a week touring Galapagos. Negotiated a boat out there. Much cheaper than booking a package, provided you'r...

That comment does not mean that Bob Lord was particularly antisemitic. You had to be alive in the 60s to understand that. It was a common expression to call someone a Jew if they were tight fisted.

Interesting article in DT about the banning of live footy on Saturdays between 2.45 and 5.15. Lord is quoted as saying " We have to stand up against a move to get soccer on the cheap by the Jews who run TV"
