Burnley v Lowerhouse

Local cricketer · Post by **Local cricketer** » Sun Sep 06, 2020 12:12 pm

Still in shock after yesterday's comeback victory. Derby day down The Turf and im hoping the house give their long suffering fans something to cheer about after 2 defeats against Burnley this season.

I will be stood near the pizza van if anyone wants to chew the fat

Quite, a certain price-point does keep the riff-raff away, thank goodness !

Quicken, I'd love nothing more than to meet the elusive invisible man of mystery and bullshit. Unfortunately, I am not at the game today due to prior commitments, though I'm sure any regular cricket watcher from Lowerhouse or Burnley that does happen across him could pass on my regards!

A typical miniscule crowd at Burnley CC. Maybe thats why they felt the need to charge. First time this season ive paid to enter anywhere. Missing the car park receipts i presume

Well looks like its going to be Burnley 3 Lowerhouse 0 and the season only started on the 1st August #oneteaminburnley

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:05 pm

Something wrong if you didn't when you have your pro and ex pro playing whilst we are without ours and Frankie. Was much closer than it should have been today. I'm surprised we have done as well as we have this short season...although helped by playing in a group with no pros.
As for T20..we just don't do T20.

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:12 pm

It’s Burnley’s strength with the ball that’s been their major success, again they have 3 really good spinners and Tom Lawson has looked brilliant when I’ve watched him this year. If they score over 100, you always think they’ve a chance of defending it.

Local cricketer · Post by **Local cricketer** » Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:15 pm

Anyway BigRedrose called me out saying I'm not a fan. I've been on 3 games in the last 6 days and not seen him. Wonder where he has been

Course you have.
Still waiting for ANYONE who can vouch for your attendance at ANY Burnley Cricket Club match let alone today! Incidentally, you claim you haven't seen me, how do you know that, you now claiming I know you? You really are a complete oddball.

Good game at rishton unfortunately colne lost but on a plus side not a pro or ex pro in sight upthecolne

Like i said earlier you must be struggling with the lack of car park receipts to be charging for what amounts to be a friendly? The first time I have been charged to get on any game this season anywhere...and it is at Burnley. Typical.

All came through from the junior ranks at the House. Not really the same thing as having your pro play the following year as an amateur and get another top class pro.
Well done to Burnley CC on buying a few more titles this season. Guess House fans will have to make do with

winning what was historically the most important fixture between the two clubs The Worsley Cup Final. Happy days hopefully we may see there like again.

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Sun Sep 06, 2020 8:59 pm

In my opinion, **** poor by Burnley charging full LL prices for a friendly.

Too many clubs put the cart before the horse. Get folk in through the gate and generally they will spend. A lot of them will also come back.

It wasnt a friendly when you looked like you was cruising towards the target #3-0

Must admit it almost caught me out, I only just had enough change, rarely carry any cash these days.

They weren’t just charging away fans though as stated by some

Didn’t catch me out, promptly turned round and went and spent my cash down the House watching the 2nd team.

The receipts from the home fans would not have filled one of Burnley's brown envelopes.

I know a lot did, I was surprised clubs werent charging this year to be honest, I’m happy to pay and help out but I wouldnt have had Burnley near the top of the list of clubs that need the extra money so was surprised.

Excited over winning 3 friendlies whilst ripping people off for the privilege. Yep that is the classiness we come to expect from the few (and it is a few going off today

) that attend your games.

I'd be willing to bet there were more on the House 2nds than there were watching Burnley today.

You’ll have to wait 12 months for that but knock yourself out. Get there early though as there are usually 100 or so that do.

Perhaps they can take solace from being the first club to step forward in Colne’s hour of need and agreeing to waive shares of gate receipts etc.
