BFC and wrestling
My 2 young grandsons are booked in to see a wrestling match, somewhere
at The Turf on Saturday along with their dads.
They received messages yesterday to inform that the event
had been postponed for 2 weeks.
Apparently someone forgot to apply for the licence !!! Don't know where
the fault lay, but it's a poor showing.
The lads are devastated.

Turf moor is just the venue. The promoters are responsible. Don't blame the football club

Re: BFC and wrestling
Hasn't some of the devastation been eased by the fact it is delayed not cancelled ?

Re: BFC and wrestling
You'd assume it will be either the centre spot or the fanzone, depending on levels of tinpot, which do appear to be rather high

Perhaps if older, but at just turned 8 years of age, it's been a body blow.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:10 amHasn't some of the devastation been eased by the fact it is delayed not cancelled ?
All part of growing up though I suppose.

It's in the fanzone if the photos of past events on Burnley pro wrestling's socials are anything to go off.ŽižkovClaret wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:12 amYou'd assume it will be either the centre spot or the fanzone, depending on levels of tinpot, which do appear to be rather high

Re: BFC and wrestling
Oh blimey, hook line and sinker. You want to see the amount of wrestling
figures, rings, trophies etc that they have. Big, big business and not bloody
cheap either. Got one figure for his birthday last week and it was £20 !!!!
Not a euphemism, but their teddies are getting one hell of a beating !!!!

Re: BFC and wrestling
I'm going to the Turf tomorrow but not for the wrestling (thankfully) - just a PSA check at Barry KIlby's event.

Re: BFC and wrestling
I have tickets and was planning on going tomorrow with my two lads so thanks for putting this on.
I haven't had an email satying the date has changed and it's still showing at the 23rd March on the BFC events page:

Re: BFC and wrestling
Think they need to better communicate the date change by the sound of things.
Hadn’t heard of this but this type of event was something I’d expected to see more of at the stadium when ALK came in to try and maximise income from the stadium. All for it, especially if the money is put towards much-needed upgrades!

Love those wrestling events, kids love it too.
I’ve been to one at the old leisure centre before, it’s all good for the kids.

It wasn't you wasn't it?
They're crazy nights. Kids hyped up on ice cream in their overpriced merchandise, trying to get in the ring to fight the bad guy wrestler.

Last association we had with wrestling was Rocky and Selwyn away at Wycombe (?) Hillarious. .

Much the same as I know that the ending to Macbeth is fixed, or the most recent season of Stranger Things is fixed.
The fun is in watching skilled performers show you how it happens.

Re: BFC and wrestling
Glad you postes, I had not bought a ticket but was planning to go down with my son. We've been to a few around NW as he enjoys watching one of my mates wrestle, they had a fair number in last we went to the Turf.

Re: BFC and wrestling
This reminds me...
Has anyone ever turned on one of the ITV channels at about 11 o clock and theres some dodgy third rate Wrestling program on?
They clearly "dress" the lady wrestlers to provide something WWE cant!
