I'd avoid The Coach & Horses unless you have money to burn.

Went in after the game last year, nice enough pub but cost us £35 for 2 pints and 2 large wines

Vintage Claret

Not sure about fancy dress hire shops now as the ones I knew of all seem to be closed now. It's worth popping in and having a look in a few charity shops as they seem to drag out the fancy dress outfits round about this time each year. There was one in town I went in the other day had a few adult co...

Finished the final episode today. Whilst strangely compelling, it's not a series I'd want to watch again and the abuse scenes, whilst not overly graphic, are still very disturbing (especially the ones with the young girl in the hospital bed and the one in the morgue..) Steve Coogan's mimicking of Sa...

Sad news.

Only been to Glanford Park once but always had a bit of a soft spot for Scunthorpe since that brilliant sunny day back in 2000 with the friendly post match pitch invasion and celebrations.

Is it still left turn only from Ormerod Road onto Church Street please?

No, you can turn right there now

Vintage Claret

So, just out of interest, where did you watch the game and was it a good choice?

I’m all for a good conspiracy theory but there was no evidence it even hit Awoniyis hand/arm.

I beg to differ...

We were in Krakow for a mates 60th last year. There's a sports bar just off the main square next to the Wodka Bar called 'English Football Club' (seriously) - watched a couple of CL games in there and it was ok- cavern type place with lots of nooks and crannies and plenty of screens- sure the Forest...

Vintage Claret

Yep, currently scheduled for Saturday 9th.

Hoping this doesn't get moved as this is one of the few away games I've pencilled in to go to this season as not been there before

I see they’ve replaced the roundabout in town with a roundabout.

A few years ago they knocked down a leisure centre and replaced it with a car park then knocked down a car park and replaced it with a leisure centre

Ormerod Road/Church St. gridlocked this morning.

Took me 20 minutes to get from the top of Ormerod Road to the bottom at about 11 am (queues not helped by the numpties still trying to turn right at the bottom junction despite the cones and the big 'no right turn' sign

Vintage Claret

Not sure if it was as little as 2 weeks but I recall our away game at Spurs during their last season at WHL being moved at fairly short notice. We had waited until the TV games were announced for that month before booking the train down on the Saturday and got a good deal including tube travel only ...

Always rated Charlie Taylor, glad he's staying.

Vintage Claret

To be honest, another player I've never heard of before the transfer speculation started but if VK thinks he's a good un that'll do for me.
Welcome Mike, hope you'll become a Burnley legend..

No, not a celebration of the Man City pre- match anthem

A rare super bright full moon known as a 'blue moon' should be visible tonight for the first time since 2009 and apparently there won't be another until 2037.

Vintage Claret

We were stood on the corner outside the Park View about 4.45 waiting for our taxi when the blue Lambo drove past (exhaust sounded a bit dodgy) ;-) A few of the players including Jack Cork (with JBG), Al-Dakeel, Brownhill also came past in their respective cars and stopped for a few minutes and wound...

So were we for a couple of minutes ... looked at the queues so went into the stand ... Same here though to be fair we did get served in the BL stand quickly (£8.40 for a Wainwright and a fanta orange) :shock: Thought we'd give the fanzone another try after the game as we had about 40 mins wait for ...

£100 parking charge from premier inn Blackburn after Man City game didn't help me with my mood either. Are these enforceable? The 'parking charge' is probably from whichever private parking company (PPC) Premier Inns use to monitor their car parks. Unfortunately due to changes in legislation and pr...

All big local clubs that have social media pages. Drop any of them a message and I'm sure there will be a place available.

What school year is he going into in September?
Has he played/trained for a team before?

He starts 'big school ' in September.

He's played for his junior school team but no proper training as such.

Vintage Claret

Grandson (11) is keen to join a local junior team in the Burnley/Nelson area this season.

Just wondering if anyone on here is involved with running any teams or knows of any that may be looking for players and how to contact please?

Vintage Claret

Mine not arrived yet either. Popped in to the ticket office this morning and they confirmed all ST cards sent (via an external company) As another poster mentioned earlier they said if not arrived by Wednesday let the club know and they will issue a paper ticket for the City game. Just a bit of a p*...

Vintage Claret

Glad you got sorted FB47.

I should have mentioned I've returned it via the ST ticket exchange system as grandson is an U12 ST holder.

Know he won't get much back into his account for it but I wanted the seat to be available for another Claret to purchase rather go empty

Vintage Claret

For any Claret in need of a ticket, just a heads up I've just returned my grandsons seat for the City game as he's on holiday.

Row S, seat 22 in BL stand (block 1)

Vintage Claret

Is it possible a different email address is linked to your son's account SC? I seem to recall when I got my grandson his first season ticket I had to set a totally separate account up for him with a different email address (and password) to the one I use for mine. I might be remembering it wrong but...

Problem is, when I registered his account I used my email, so how do I differentiate his account from mine?

Is there not a separate password for your son's account?

Vintage Claret

Bullshit. Told you time and time again, Burnley fans are bellends. You missed the word 'some' in front of 'Burnley' in your post there. Don't assume that a few fans booing and abusing one of their own players or flying a 'white lives matter' banner behind an aeroplane are representative of all Burn...

Vintage Claret

We have just one grandson and cherish every minute we get to spend with him and are more than happy to look after him, ferry him around, whatever, whenever asked. Had the privilege of taking him on his first ever Clarets game in 2019 when he was 7 and he's now a ST holder alongside me so it's a joy ...

Ah, that's brilliant what a great surprise

Have a great time all you Clarets out there this weekend.

When we were in Cuba a few years ago we visited three or four cigar factories. I never saw anyone working in one, along whose naked thigh I fancied having my cigar rolled.

You've never met Carlos then?

Vintage Claret

Fantastic match from both players but a deserved win for Alcaraz in the end after coming back from a terrible start.

Good to see Novak was very gracious in defeat as well and a nice touch taking time to smile and shake hands with some of the ball boys/girls as he left the court.

Oasis. Wouldn't say I detested them before but just thought the Gallagher brothers were a bit obnoxious so wasn't particularly interested in their music. Realize now they're actually 2 talented singer/songwriters and I regularly listen to Oasis CD albums in the car plus Noels High Flying Birds and L...

Just don't give him a banjo and keep him away from cows @rses and he'll be fine

Joking aside, if VK thinks he can do a job for us and intends to utilize him in the team and WW has shown commitment to the cause, that's good enough for me.

Vintage Claret

Not keen on collared football shirts personally and think this new one just looks a bit bland going off the photos.

Wish it could have been like that 'concept' shirt pictured earlier in the thread, now that is a nice shirt!

Skyfall- most disappointing of the Daniel Craig series for me (although Quantum of Solace comes close)

I've said further up the thread, the game will not be switched.

Has there been a reason given as to why the fixture can't he reversed CT? ( not disputing what your saying is correct, just curious)

Phew!

Weather forecast a bit iffy for next 2 days so probably won't have the 2 full days to get the runs, will be interesting to see how England approach this run chase.

Vintage Claret

More money than sense especially when it’s live on Sky Tend to agree, I baulked a bit at paying £90 but it is The Ashes and at least we were lucky enough to see a full days play in the sunshine. As much as I enjoy a day out at a Test match, no way would I pay £180-£200 for a ticket, but each to the...

Got tickets for tomorrow and really looking forward to it.

Just hoping Root, Bairstow or Stokes (preferably all 3) can produce another of those legendary Headingley Ashes test innings.

I used to do ok answering the questions listening to the radio version (mid teen to 20's scores) and was going to apply to be on this.

Watching last night's episode on catch up I'm glad I didn't complete the application form now as I'd have sucked

Vintage Claret

Only watched Elton live watching a few acts on catch up starting with Sparks.

They were the first band I ever saw live (King George's Hall, Blackburn circa 1974/75)

Still mad as a box of frogs but still brilliant
