You seem to be a little obsessed with Lowerhouse and when referring to the team please use "The House"

Re: Lowerhouse vs Burnley 1969
Great photos but makes me feel old looking at the spectators, players kit and ground facilities. Was 1969 so long ago!?

Re: Lowerhouse vs Burnley 1969
Was that the farce match when Sparks pressured the umpires into calling it off?

Re: Lowerhouse vs Burnley 1969
I was there. Lowerhouse couldn’t wait to get back on but the rain had changed things and all the nastiness had gone from the wicket. So Sparks started his slipping and sliding routine. Bernard Lavin was batting by this point and just got on with things but Sparks kept telling the umpires it was impossible to bowl.Hopey wrote:Yep... 50 years yesterday!

I was there as well. Probably with CT and Shappie etc. Amazingly I dont remember the game but it sounds like the usual Lowerhouse farce. Was Denis Pollard the same one who went on to play for Redrose ?

Same Dennis Pollard yes. Used to travel on Boundary Clarets to all the away games around a decade or so ago as did Mick Swift.FCBurnley wrote:I was there as well.

Decent bowler and a nice guy was Dennis. Always thought he played for Padiham.ClaretTony wrote:Same Dennis Pollard yes. Used to travel on Boundary Clarets to all the away games around a decade or so ago as did Mick Swift.

He did play for Padiham at one point. Not seen him at the football in a while.FCBurnley wrote:Decent bowler and a nice guy was Dennis. Always thought he played for Padiham.
