Friday night in Burnley

[claret wizard]

I was in the Bridge at 1800 and it was quite busy.

Go up to the Loom

Only problem with the bank parade drinking area is it’s full of postmen in shorts

Only really a problem when they finish working around 11am

Caught the last half hour of a band in loom. Much busier and a nice crowd. Enjoyed the night.

Its saturday night out in Burnley for us, I reckon Mrs B last appearance at Burnley was 2001!!

Parking up at 12, lunch somewhere possibly beer huis, then a couple on the way down yorkshire street.

First visit to the Royal Dyche!!

Staying overnight so thinking bank parade then.

No food in The Bridge on matchdays

[steve1264b]

Cheese n onion pie for Mrs B at halftime it is!

Well I had a cracking weekend in burnley, just winding it down with a few pints in the hotel bar and bumped into 4 guys from Plymouth. Opposite ends of the country and none of us with a natural connection to burnley but all massive Clarets. Just been discussing the play off games against Plymouth in 94. Strange world.

Are you allowed to say Postmen these days??

[CoolClaret]

Question - when did this Bank Parade revive become a thing? I’m genuinely gobsmacked

[Shaun1983]

I believe its "postthems"

[Belial]

I believe its "postthems"

Ahh yeah, one step up from the Milkthem

The Bridge and the Bank Parade bars were rather busy before the match.

The Loom didn't seem to cope too well with the numbers.

The area has benefited from the loss of the Church Street pubs. The Talbot was a big space, likewise the White Hart. Not forgetting the Sparrowhawk.

Is the Coach & Horses still open ?

Glad you’ve had a good weekend

No, not sure it reopened after lockdown.

Really enjoyed having a few beers before the game. What struck me was how much match day adds to the town centre economy.

We got back to room about 9ish and met other match goers staying overnight.

I usually drive in park on towneley and drive out so the transformation of yorkshire st had passed me by.

We ate at Palazzo at 6.30 and it was full of people who attended the game.

[JohnMac]

Definitely start at the bridge and work your way up to loom and circ bars. Just look for a massive Russian military tank on bank parade

It's hardly Russian, nor is it a Tank

[longhair]

The coach has been sold to the guy who owns the fried chicken shop next door it's going to be a take away and flats

[shulgin]

Shame about the Coach. Was taken on by a right prat after Pam left and run into the ground.

[Quicknick]

Cat's Whiskers still in business?

No, but there's actually a Cats/Annabellas reunion bash at the Mechanics on Friday 15 September.

So get yer flares on!
