Jack Nadin's book, Burnley Inns and Taverns (2007) names some 199 pubs in Burnley down the years. Jacks book was published in 2007 after which several more have closed. Theres only the Coach and Horses open (or was before lockdown) on Church street I think now.

After problems on Tuesday the club replied on Wednesday and I then needed a password reset. The information on their email says “if you don’t receive it in 30 minutes contact the ticket office.” That was Wednesday. Today’s Friday and still no email confirming they’ve reset the password.

I’ve emailed the ticket office for advice. I paid for my season ticket in March 2020 before lockdown started and I assumed it would just roll over again.

TONY: Just done a search ad it looks like Burnley CC became a limited company in 1925 and they posted their first years figures the following year 1926. Before that in 1924 the club reported that since the war the club had lost approx £1,500 and needed to raise funds through a share offer. They firs...

When did the football club sell the cricket ground? Not sure Tony - but it’s interesting that the football club bought both lots in 1922. At the time the club had a balance of around £24,000 in the bank but on the previous season posted a profit of only £137. Players wages were increasing and Burnl...

Cracking post Mike. Did you not think about a book similar to the excellent Road to Glory which I assume you wrote? I did do that one yes.

The Burnley papers are online up to 1955. Then you need the Library access from then on. £12:95 a months access to the whole British Library collection. Good search facilities too. It’s a pity that the rest of the BUrnley papers were not digitised. I guess they may be in future.

I answered the 'Underdog' question and said that were not Underdogs any more. Were a Premier league club, we might have been underdogs in Division 4 but not now. We need to think, act and behave like any other Premier league club. Damn, I forgot to mention the lack of hot water in the Bob Lord gents.
