Saw him play at Thin Lizzy's last ever uk show with Phil Lynott at the Reading Festival in 1983. Great memories. RIP John Sykes.

I'm honoured!

Sometimes divert up Rock Lane when the queue up Tod Road is particularly long/slow moving. Never had any issues. There can then be a queue down Glen View Road to the summit lights. If I'm dropping my dad off on Westbourne avenue South I'll go via Moorland Road which comes out at the Rose and Crown. ...

Showing open on the street guide Web site and Google maps.Last time I jogged down there last week it was open but down to one lane. It was a bit of a squeeze for cars. It's supposed to be access only for local residents on that road but I think a lot of drivers ignore it and use it as a short cut. P...

I turned up once at half time after a family do I couldn't get out of. I was led through the hospitality to be able to take my seat in the JHU. Was a couple of years ago. The normal turnstiles were closed and was directed to the hospitality entrance. Had to show my ticket of course.

Early Iron Maiden made a massive contribution to the so called NWOBHM ( new wave of British heavy metal) along with bands like Saxon and Def Leppard. His singing ability was a bit more limited compared to his replacement Bruce Dickinson but there are a significant number of Maiden fans who prefer th...

Thanks Crosspool. Appreciated.

So sorry to hear this. My first sporting hero when I was a kid and first started watching Burnley. I had my Grandma sew the number 11 on my first Burnley shirt in his honour. I guess it's a sign of getting older yourself when your heroes pass away. I will be raising a glass later this evening.

Edit. Meant to add. Just beyond Ladybower on the Sheffield side.

Just looked on Google maps. The A57 just beyond appears to be closed. No idea how long for or whether it will be open tomorrow. Can anybody shed any light on this?

I'm sure there must be some on here who work at the two industrial estates next to the Bentley wood roundabout. How much hassle are they causing? Does anyone have anymore info as to when they are going to at least be moved away and be only two way lights? I'm avoiding them by getting on and off at G...

casualclaret

Just a heads up. There are 3 way temporary traffic lights just of junction 9, the Bentley wood/ crematorium junction, which have been causing havoc this last week. Just something to keep your eye on. No Idea how long they are going to be there.

casualclaret

Gone now. Permanently I hope!

Sad news. Saw him with Whitesnake at Donington 1981 as special guests to AC/DC. Also a few years ago at Clitheroe grand doing an acoustic set supporting FM. Although by then he'd put a significant amount of weight on. Like most of us I guess! Talented guitarist. A sign of age when people you look up...

Absolutely. In all the good things and investment in our town I'm amazed that it still stands. Complete eyesore.

I have the basic Garmin forerunner 110 which I think is now the 55. Does everything I need including distance, time, pace etc. Retails about £150.You can spend some daft money on them with all the whistles and bells but you will probably find you don't need/use them.

As you probably already realise Pickles, the choice of running shoes on the market is off the scale. Different types of shoes for different surfaces etc. If you have any sort of idea which model you fancy then review sites such as Run/ repeat are a good place to start. There is very little really ba...

Recent convert to Hoka.Use the Bondi for roads but trails, or a combination of trail and road I run in the speedgoat. Seriously comfortable. A honorable mention to Asics Novablast if you find the Hokas a bit too cumbersome.

That's as good a team performance as I've seen from city.

I live in a 1930s semi with a small built in extension at the back which has never had a cavity tray. With getting all the weather at the back I sometimes have problems with leakage. I've tried all the easy inexpensive fixes but still have problems when we get the wind and rain combination. I think ...

casualclaret

Thank you.

Can anybody recommend a builder who can install a cavity tray and re render to the rear of a house.?Also one who could plaster an internal room? I live in Burnley. Thanks in advance.

Towneley is a lovely place to visit. Not been inside the hall itself for years though. Plenty of nice walks round the woods. Singing ringing tree for the views. Hurstwood reservoir is also a really nice walk, as is Thieveley pike behind the Ram in Cliviger albeit a bit more taxing. Gawthorpe hall is...

Good post. My thoughts exactly.

casualclaret

Why no song for him? Or Brownhill for that matter?

casualclaret

Typo. What conclusions did you reach to said meeting?

We were told about all this some months ago when we were holding meetings about the post-match traffic issues. Wasn't expecting it to happen though.

What conclusions did you read from said meeting?

Sad news. 65 isn't old these days. Always enjoyed his commentary and his sparring with Brian Moore.

Nelson won 3-2. Made hard work of it. Just about thawing out!

casualclaret

Going to watch Nelson at home to Ilkley. I have a work colleague who plays for them. Not been before so approaching it with an open mind.

casualclaret

Taffy for me too. I would have been 9 in 1975. I had my grandma sew a number 11 onto my 1st Burnley shirt the year before. My first sporting hero. I was even more upset when he scored against us for Derby on the turf in our last season in the old 1st division.

I’ve always been a big fan of Def Leppard since first seeing them live at King George’s Hall in 1980. To this day their first album On Through The Night remains my favourite and most played rock album. Raw, undercooked music that I can really relate to. Steve Clark is a bit of a guitar hero for me....

casualclaret

Really enjoyed watching that. Thanks for posting. Not seen it before. Can't imagine how odd that would have been to lay down your arms for just one day.

casualclaret

Yes, but they're a bit further down now towards Burnley. Just below the picnic area car park.

casualclaret

I think after the match could be the bigger problem. The lights are a bottleneck at the best of times and can be queued back to Towneley gates post match. As someone has posted above, if these were manually controlled the traffic could be cleared much quicker.

casualclaret

edit, Just seen that it opened around midnight last night. I'm sure it must have made the a6 and the roads round the lakes a lot worse. Especially with the flooding added to the mix.

casualclaret

Slightly off topic, has the lorry been cleared from the M6 northbound ?I wonder if it affected anyone's journey/ commute.

casualclaret

If they're on a timer then l would suggest it's way out! If they are as bad as yesterday on Saturday it will be gridlock after the match.

casualclaret

Does anybody know what these roadworks are for?

casualclaret

Just a heads up for anyone travelling to the turf tonight. There are roadworks at the bottom of the new road at the junction with Todmorden Road causing quite long tailbacks. No idea how long they are there for but lm guessing they're linked to the ongoing ones through Cliviger.

casualclaret

I found l had to type my email in character by character rather than use the predictive function. I also then used a laptop with proper keys rather than a tablet or smartphone. It worked for me.

The tannoy is clearer in the toilets than anywhere. Even then it keeps cutting out. Went to a do at the centre spot a year or two back and the sound system is appalling in there as well.

Will give it a go in due course. Loved the Sopranos so going to be interesting as to how it turns out. It's one I'll have to watch by myself as the Mrs is more of a romcom fan!

Did think the TC was showing its age by the time the decision to close it was made. Needed a damn good clean at the very least. Not used St Peters much but the few times I've used it the pool was freezing! Better gym but not as many squash courts.

Probably. Although I did feel it was quite a bit busier than the Brighton game. It was by no means full though.
