Re: Advice needed on where to sit with kids

Bob Lord towards Bee Hole End would fit the bill. But probably full. The bottom corner of the Longside by the Bee Hole end, so JAmes Hargreaves Lower in the high seat numbers would be OK, lots of kids down there as well. Make sure you get the right end though! Should be seats down there as they tend...

Re: Best Chinese takeaway in Burnley?

Tried lots in Burnley and I'd say the Wok Place on Trafalgar is the best, does more than Chinese as well. If you're looking for the more Chip Shop style Chinese then the Ming Wo on Lyndhurst Rd.

Re: Loyalty points

So it's only this season that you'd reach the magic 5000 points by only supporting the clarets at home. 12 x 350 + 1000 = 5200

I've got over 6800 though, so does that mean at 10 points per cup and away game that I've been to 160 other games since 2005. So around 13 a year?

Re: Lee Grant

He gave, and received, a fairly decent round of applause before kick off from the Jimmy Mac. To be fair, as we didn't have fans in the Cricket Field when he was here, he probably assumed all the abuse was from his own fans.

If you don't commit men to a ruck (where the balls on the floor and you can't handle it unless you're stood on both feet) then it's still a tackle, and there is no offside line. It's a tactic you see in 7's all the time, where you want to cover the width of the pitch, so you let the tacklers sort ou...
