The Royal Dyche

[SimonSays]

I think it would sound a lot better called Royal Kompany. I know it would be a bit of a contradiction to what frequents in there, however it would be keeping up with the times. Are the owners aware Dyche was sacked some months ago?

[4midable]

When hes done what dyche has maybe

[CoolClaret]

I think I’ll let Justine do whatever she pleases with it tbh. Turned what was an absolute dive into a decent little drinking hole - doing a fab job.

You’re wrong.

[Paul Waine]

If, as reported, Royal Dyche is a good pub then it should remain that way.

In a couple of seasons Burnley might also have the Royal Kompany. What was the pub that Rio Ferdinand visited? Maybe that's a good candidate to be modernised and renamed after Vincent Kompany.

Hi Paul

How would changing the name interfere with the quality of the establishment?

[Bosscat]

Hi Paul

Why does the name need changing ... The Queen Victoria Pub doesn't have a change of name just because she died 121 years ago

I said "modernised and renamed..."

Modernisation is always aimed at "changing" the quality.

[SimonSays]

I said "modernised and renamed..."

Actually your opening sentence said. "If, as reported, Royal Dyche is a good pub then it should remain that way. "

Slight misunderstanding between us

[SimonSays]

Why does the name need changing ... The Queen Victoria Pub doesn't have a change of name just because she died 121 years ago

She wasn't sacked for doing an inadequate job I suppose

[boatshed bill]

I think it's a terrible name for a pub, totally inward looking.

[TheFamilyCat]

Maybe before it's renamed the Royal Kompany it will need a brief period as the Royal Jackson (Caretaker).

[4midable]

The Royal Rodriguez is more fitting at present

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Bizarre OP, wanting a pub that was named after the greatest manager in recent times to have a name changed to that of a bloke who's done the square root of nothing in comparison

[Devils_Advocate]

Same old Wrongo talking rubbish

As well as being a poor post, to what does that highlighted text actually refer? It does not sound very nice.

[Eloise Laws]

For some people it will always be The Prinny

[boatshed bill]

i'd love someone to tell me who the Princess Royal, after who the pub is named, actually was.
I genuinely don't know.

[Croydon Claret]

Think it was named after Queen Victoria's daughter, also called Victoria

If you compare the original pub sign against an image of Princess Victoria then the resemblance is there to see

Yep. Still the prinny for me too

[bobinho]

I think it was maybe Princess Mary or possibly even Princess Louise who was before her.

Ignore me.... Croydon has it.

Why not call in on your way to the game on Sunday and suggest the name-change to the landlady.

[boatshed bill]

Just as well call it the Arch Duke Ferdinand... had we ever signed Les or Rio.

Ferdinand is anything but an Angel

[timshorts]

As V is Belgian, it would need to be "koninklijk kompany", which has better alliteration anyway.

[Billyblah]

She wasn't sacked for doing an inadequate job I suppose

Inadequate job? Where have you been for the last few years?
Not one but two promotions from the Championship, a brief foray into Europe a number of successive seasons in the Premiership, and the revitalization of Gawthorpe.

The name Royal Dyche represents a snapshot in the history of the town. With regard to the pub itself, regardless of what it is called, the landlady seems to have done an equally tremendous job....long live The Royal Dyche.

I don’t dispute any of what you say however it is a fact that he was sacked for doing an inadequate job. He was fantastic for us I’m not here to say otherwise. I do find turf moor a much happier place now. With hindsight it was absolutely the correct decision to sack him.

[boatshed bill]

Tin Hat here, but I think the vast number of people blowing smoke up SD's arse, culminating in him being compared to royalty, actually contributed to his ultimate demise.

The fact that the Angel continues to trade is a minor miracle given the sheer volume of housing that has been cleared around it in the last few decades. It has been a very run-down part of town, which is saying something for this town

[SydneyClaret]

Perfect name and a remembrance of a 10 year reign of one of the most successful Burnley managers of the modern era.

[Marty Dobson]

The Queen Victoria pub itself died 2 years ago.

He’s right you know. For the same reason we should remove all tributes to Churchill, he was sacked by the country. Oh, and Harry Potts Way? I only knew him as manager in the late 70s and that wasn’t great, in fact he was sacked.

That was my first watering hole in the 70s have great memories meeting up with the lads before going on the turf and it was a hard pub some battles in there especially with Bolton and usually spilled over into the Turf pub where Rocky and is mate's would be waiting . Great times. UTC

The Vinny Royal, surely?

A lot of grotty sub standard terraced houses have been flattened of Accy Road and have been replaced by new low cost homes so that area has improved somewhat, the houses lower down from the pub have had grants as well. As with all small pubs though it is remarkable that it is trading,that said once of a day within a 5 minute walk of the pub there used to be at least 7 or so pubs and clubs so it may well have picked those customers up.

[Loyalclaret]

Think it pulls characters from all over doesn't it. Old trafalgar flats/new estate, Accy Road/stoops, Tim Bobbin, Lower House.

[Cirrus_Minor]

What a ridiculous post. Maybe the council should also change Harry Potts Way to Vincent Kompany Road since Harry Potts was sacked, presumably also for what was then perceived to be incompetence. Seeing these things around the ground, especially on match days, for me enhances the rich history of the club and long may if continue.

do you mean the type that BT and Ferdinand were looking for?

[Loyalclaret]

No I mean characters. You think the film just rocked up there and interviewed the locals. Neither of us know who was interviewed and I wouldn't tar everyone in an establishment with the same brush

I love it how 'new' user SimonSays suggestion has been taken seriously on here.

Fighting someone because you support a different football club? Great times?

I have no objection to you and those like you getting your heads kicked in just for the fun of it, but it would be far better for the world in general if you would do it out of everyone else's way. It's because of people like you that football fans have to be kept apart, herded about, have our movements restricted, and generally get interfered with in our watching of our sport. Don't be proud.

I’m quite surprised you have this view. Your definitely a good poster on here who I do respect the view of. Mine was a totally serious post however. Move with the times.
If people don’t agree, fine. It was only a suggestion for goodness sake

[pushpinpussy]

since Dyche has moved on now it is probably best going back to its old name. The prinny royal. he doesn't need a pub named after him for us to remember the amazing job he did. and Burnley 1989 don't be like the others on here and start picking people out and bullying them. you are better than that,

Says the one calling fans on here "Armchair" fans ...

mainly armchair fans on this forum. probably the worst place you could ask.

Also calling out folk who need to leave a football match early for whatever reason ...

1. I have no idea why you would do this?
2. Try getting behind the team for the whole game instead of sneaking out early.
3. I hope you have learnt your lesson.

Bullying is in your dna ppp hence folk give you pelters for it
