Matchroom- The Greatest showmen on Netflix.

A very good behind the scenes documentary about the wheeling, dealing and major events organisation that goes on within the Barry /Eddie Hearn sports promotion business empire.

Watched this last night when it popped up as a random recommendation on my YouTube TV app- good watch and nice to see a positive and upbeat perspective from a first time visitor to our fine town. He didn't visit the 3 pubs up by the Sorting office but by the time he left the Bridge he'd been in 20 o...

Don't know why there is such a fuss about this. If a match is abandoned due to bad weather, it has always been a full replay. That's what I thought. Yes, it's unfortunate for Rovers and of course we'd be a bit miffed if match was called off with us winning against 10 men with 10 mins or so to play ...

It does not matter what program you now watch it seems the word super has become the word of the moment. Super exciting, super hot, super intelligent you name it they now add it. On trend and sheep will follow. Everything is super this and super that even politicians are using it as well as news re...

Black Pudding- lots of people seem to like it but personally can't see the appeal of food made from animals blood mixed with fat and cereal

Unlucky not to be 2 points better off than the league table shows.

I'm feeling confident that with this manager and this group of players we can make more of a fist of staying in this League than we did last time around.

Hardly knew they were there until the the 94th/95th minute

For offside VAR decisions I think there would be less controversy if they changed the rules and made it that if any part of the attacking players body is onside when they draw their lines then it shouldn't be given offside.

White Riot - The Clash

No problem with access to and rom the BL stand today., HP Way seemed busier but nothing that had any impact as we made our way towards the town centre after the final whistle. Only negative 'matchday experience ' (apart from the unintentional disco light show mid match which due to my vision issues ...

No more heading to the Fanzone from the BL stand after match for me then- I'm not trying to weave my way through a bottleneck and 14k people heading in the opposite direction :? Probably a good thing though considering the beer in there is overpriced and usually pretty crap, it was just a convenient...

A little before my time but his record at Burnley speaks for itself.

Berliner Republik Restaurant and bar along the riverside. Lots of different draught beers on and their gimmick is that they have a large screen showing the prices per beer like in a stock market and the prices periodically fluctuate up and down depending on how much of a particular beer is being sol...

If you want a sports bar in Krakow try the one on Mikolsjka in the heart of the Old Town called English Football Club, lots of screens, decent beer and they let you have takeaway pizzas delivered Nearby is the Wodka Bar where you can try all different flavours of vodka and reasonably cheap.

We were planning to head into town shortly, is it still as bad?

One of the most gifted players of his generation in his prime but sadly the best live performance I saw from Gazza at The Turf was when we played Middlesbrough reserves one night and he was in their team. He didn't complete the full 90 minutes but for the time he was on, he still looked a class abov...

For those of you who haven't seen it - Sisu is coming to Netflix on Tuesday.

Thanks for the recommendation

Didn't know anything about it but just finished watching it- superb hidden gem of a war/action/vengeance film!

Toxic Town on Netflix

8 weeks? Yikes! :-( Walked past the roundabout about 45 mins ago- traffic fairly busy and obviously will get worse once the school runs start and folk finish work. Not much sign of activity just one works van but they have dug a big trench in the pavement on Briercliffe Rd on the corner where the po...

Do you know what the roadworks are for? There's no mentioned on the LCC site, or indeed the utilities sites either.

Looked like resurfacing work on Casterton Ave. on/near the roundabout

Vintage Claret

Just a heads up, those 4 way lights I mentioned earlier are now in operation and its causing bloody traffic chaos! All the roads around that area are gridlocked not helped by temp traffic lights on Colne Road just past the Prairie near The Oaks hotel. Had to pick Mrs VC up from BGH at 4 this afterno...

Noticed 4 way traffic control lights being set up near the roundabout connecting Eastern Ave/Casterton Ave/Briercliffe Road this afternoon. They weren't operational when I went past about 2.30 so not sure when they'll actually come into play but sure it will be fun when they do unless they're only w...

Not sure what he means by "we started the game really well" ?

Probably meant not shaking the hand of the alleged racist, not sure what went "really well" after that

I used to live on the same street as a top mafia boss.

He was actually a really sound, generous guy once you got to know him- he used to give me £10 every morning just to start his car up for him.

Very sad news :-( My favourite actor - whatever the role or genre of film you knew it was going to be enjoyable if he was in it. Particularly enjoyed his performances in French Connection, Bonnie & Clyde and a latter day western with an all star cast that seems to have mostly passed under the radar,...

Can't go wrong with any of the blonde beers produced by Reedley Hallows, Bowland or Moorhouses breweries.

My favourite porter has to be Titanic plum porter, always goes down well

If we don't count TV games, I would guesstimate around the 700 mark, that's from being a ST holder early-mid 70's for a couple of seasons then from 1994 unbroken and maybe 2 or 3 cup/away games a season. Bizarrely the team I've seen us play most away is probably Grimsby as a company I worked for man...

More exciting football would help but I think this seemingly endless run of midweek night home games has also had a detrimental effect on the the atmosphere. Less people attending for work/school/ family/travel reasons, less time to see friends before/after the match and have a few beers etc. I'm su...
