Willie was one of the first Burnley players through the doors of Clarets Collected with his son when it opened at the Library almost two years ago.
Rest in Peace Willie Willie Irvine.

I doubt whether the players alone would hold sway. They're employees after all and play who and where they're told. Hopefully the new Football regulator will hold a position of some clout. Someone Who will be able to maintain the interests of the Community- the supporters - and long term interests o...

Interesting Eloise. Does anyone know what the difference is between ice cream for dogs and yer ice cream for humans?
How much is a 99 for a dog btw?

The Rotunda can't sell ice cream according to this.

It's been going on a while in Towneley. No prices on display. Apparently the Towneley cafe can't sell ice cream either with the contract.

The American owners don't seem interested in providing a decent catering service. If they were interested it wouldn't be like it is.

Welcome to Burnley Lesley.

Not sure what the £150 membership offers you but some of the sites offering tickets for our home games at premium prices. How reliable these are I don't know, but if it's possible to pay our club £150 to get a ticket for say Liverpool at home and then to sell them on (illegal I know) It looks like s...

If you search on Seatpic you can see they have tickets for all over the ground for the Liverpool game. Top price £170.

Willie was one of the first visitors with his son to the Clarets Collected archive at the Library when it opened two years ago. We've lost a great Claret legend today and A true gentleman.

Burneys on Clitheroe market (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) have a great selection of fruit and veg that you pick yourself, bag and pay. Local produce from Ormskirk spuds to thinks like Chinese pears.
They might do blood oranges for you Rowls.

The new stadium for United seems to have gone quiet.
I suppose this is Ratcliffes idea of helping to pay for it.

mikeS

Just been down to the ticket office to buy Lazio tickets.
Door locked. Asked at the shop and a member of staff said they're closed Thursdays. I said, 'it's Wednesday', oh yeah she said, they're closed Wednesdays.
So the ticket office is only open four days a week then.

mikeS

The Express pre-match would probably tell you that around 17,000 or more of that crowd were from Huddersfield.

Nice Rowls, well done mate.

'Golden' being the operative word there.

Because a mass-production phone that had a built in camera and audio recording facility hadn't been invented yet, or are you just being stupid for effect? No I'm not being stupid at all. I'm making a point that people went to hear the band and we're not distracted by social media crap we now have. ...

I hope the owners aren't the same firm that owns the Adelphi or it'll be just left a vacant shell.

Had a steak and mushroom the other day. Have to say it was better than the steak and kidney taste-wise.
Best pies in the kingdom by a mile.

Didn't make it to Live Aid, watched it on the Telly but did get free tickets for Live 8 in 2005 in Hyde Park. A Good concert on a sunny day but not the same as the first one.

Nice to have two home games at Christmas.
Last game v Wolves at home could be a tasty relegation dogfight too.

mikeS

Can she play centre-back?

I'm guessing there'll be "twitter/ X" roving cameras/ interviewers outside the Turf on Match days live streaming content with fans???

mikeS

Looking at those prices, we're going to have to break the £20 million barrier to replace any of the current squad that leaves to stand any chance of 17th place.

mikeS

Losing our best players to other Premier League clubs who then bench them and then expect us to compete at the top level with inexperienced substitute appointments.
Keep our best players and build the team around them and we have a chance if we buy wisely players with experience of the division.

Looking at the schedule for Saturday, this is Episode 4 , Series 9 Big Match Revisited.
So the following weeks might have the 4-4 draw at the Turf v Norwich.

He had two seasons, won them their first piece of silverware in decades and earned a Champions League place for next season.
Not good enough say spurs.
Bonkers.

Front row left Is Reg Kirkham. Worked with him at Lucas electrical at Northbridge.

If we could hold on to last years squad with these key players, we could I believe stay up. If we lose our best players, expecting a scratch side with a new captain, new keeper and other new players to cope with the step up to the PL, I think we all know what will happen to our form and our fortune ...

Good call. I agree.

He was a great writer on football for sure. Martin Samuel has written a double-page feature on him in todays Sunday Times sport section. For me Hugh McIlvaney was the best sports writer because he covered boxing as well as football. His reports on the big fights from the sixties onwards were absolut...

Went there on the train a few years back with Riviera Travel. Well organised tour to the region which included a visit to Carcasonne. Have a look on their website.

Sounded pretty loud on (the edited) MOTD2.
Why would you boo your own player who has played brilliantly for Liverpool and helped win them the title and now wants a change of scene?

If you watch The Big Match Revisited you'll see some meaty challenges that rarely went unpunished.
Some of those guys doing that today would be banned.
