A few seasons ago a large group of their 'fans' (knuckle dragging types) abused just about everyone in the Swan in Burnley town centre including an elderly chap who was having a quiet pint. Now, I know you shouldn't generalise and all clubs have their fair share of whoppers but that incident sticks...

I've had a lovely day, with a Coronation picnic on the village green in warm sunshine.
Then I get home to this news.
Just fantastic.

......... "so do we "
Just recalling what we used to sing about Brian O'Neil on the Longside in the late 60s.
Well, he did go, but we stayed, and it will be the same when VK eventually leaves.

Another interesting stat:-
Middlesbrough, who have already qualified for the play-offs, have lost 14 of their 44 Championship games.
We've lost 13 of our last 137 Championship games.

Can someone sort the maths out for me? Blackpool are relegated with a defeat, but are 3 points behind huddersfield, who have 2 games in hand. If Huddersfield lose all 3 and Blackpool win their last game, does that not see them potentially safe on goal difference? I see that they are practically rel...

If Blackpool get a point tonight they still go down if Huddersfield win one of their three remaining games, or Reading win one of their two.
As I post this, Millwall have just got a penalty......and score!

Now come on A_C you can't correct the "Solicitor" surely he knows
I was a solicitor until I retired ( six years ago today, in fact ) and I can confirm that A_C is correct.
Perhaps ppp's sentencing guidelines book is out of date?

Did anything happen with either place? been a while since i gave either the Sparrowhawk or Keirby even a passing glance
Don't know, but I walked past The Talbot yesterday and noticed a "Sold" sign.
Presumably flats. Too much to hope that someone is going to take it on as a pub.

This is the 9th promotion I've seen in my lifetime (9 relegations too) and this is probably the best of all those campaigns. I thought nothing would top 72/3 but this season has been - as Connor Roberts would no doubt say - unbelievable! My ninth promotion as well, and this is the first one when I ...

All you Lancashire members on here will know that your membership card no longer admits you into the ground.

I'm not very good at this ballot lark.
I missed out on the Liverpool game during the covid season, and it looks as though I've missed out here too.

All the Burnley fans who get tickets could play a part in paying that lot back. Refuse to spend money on programmes, pies/pints or any refreshment. Losing money that way, will go part way of getting our own back on them.
Not difficult to refuse to buy a programme.
They don't produce one.

And even those successful in the ballot have to collect their ticket from Turf Moor with photo ID, rather than receive them through the post.
Don't think I'll bother.

Yesterday hasn't discouraged me for next season.
There are nine teams involved in the relegation battle. Six of those will stay up. With a few additions during the summer, we can compete with those six, plus the two coming up with us, plus the likes of Villa, Fulham and Brentford.
We'll be fine.

Next time we’re on Sky is Blackpool, isn’t it? So Millwall should be live on clarets+ - at least for the international subscription
I don't think the Blackpool match is on Sky.

I know that the opposition to woodburners relates to urban rather than rural areas, but where I live there is no mains gas and there are people in my village whose only form of heating is woodburners or open fires.
