*BURNLEY RESIDENTS*

We are currently responding to reports a suspicious package has been found at Burnley Cricket Club on Belvedere Road.

Officers are at the scene and a 100m cordon is currently in place while we investigate. The EOD has been called to assess the package.

We are expecting some disruption in the area and will update you when we can.

I realise the new pro isn't universally popular with the members, but this is a bit extreme.

Maybe its all a big Lowerhouse gunpowder plot to make "One Team in Burnley" an undisputed reality?

We already know how they like to mark Guy Fawkes down Liverpool Rd

'Suspicious package.'
Quite a good description of Ken Shapcott that.

For anyone else who was interested - the evacuation zone is below. I'm relieved to see that Blessed Trinity School is not deemed to be at risk as per their tweet

It's looking increasingly likely...

But if you're looking for an official statement, it's not out.

Apparently its right between the two sets of stumps.

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Tue Sep 24, 2019 3:42 pm

Joking aside, the thought struck me, could it have been an attempted attack on the Turf that the person bottled out of and dumped the stuff at the Cricket Club?

I really hope not but jeez

I disagree unless there are casualties, of course. We have to be able to laugh at **** like this, otherwise whichever cranks do it get a little victory.
