What doesn’t appear to have been considered, in the topic, has been Bfc relying on access onto the Bcc land to carry out CFS repairs, which they’ve had to do in the past. If Bcc refused them the right of entry, that would be playing hardball. In regard to the building of a new CFS, I feel Bfc/ buil...

One of the reasons we stopped going on match days was the slow service inside, and then the hatch bar outside only taking cash and not card. Has this been improved? Will give it a go next time if so Yep, remedied with; - fully replaced top of the range beer lines from the cellar to all bars - card ...

Fair play. I hadn't read on. There are a lot of theories of why AP has done all this and with the CC looking to have been adversely affected it's brought into play rumours and what amount to conspiracy theories. Having now read the thread I'm still not convinced by the claim that the financial gain...

Wonder if the “road closure” put people off parking in the Tennis club etc?

Not just the cricket club at risk of losing a vital income.

100% correct. Every single pub and club is affected.

What time do they close the road at the fire station?
UTC

Despite the barriers, it’s not actually closed. You just need to ask to drive down it for some reason.

How was BCC yesterday compared to a typical prem game ? I’d imagine they got a lot of Mackems as now the coaches are almost shoehorned into the ground via the CC / bar . I can only see BCC benefiting from almost exclusive away fan custom along with the usual home fans ( albeit reduced ) No more ext...

Well done Lowerhouse on their sixth (I think?) title.

The trophy hasn’t left the town for years now.

thingandwhere

Quick personal one from me to those who haven’t sampled BCC before but did so yesterday;

BFC certainly didn’t make it easy for those of us wanting to get to BCC - so thanks a lot. And no I’m not talking about having to exit behind the Jimmy Mac, that was totally fine in my experience.

thingandwhere

If they were serious about taking the CC custom away they would. I admit though I’ve had a think and I’m wrong with what I’m saying. I was under the impression, due to hearsay that appears to be rubbish, that the cricket club have always been a bit of a thorn in the side of the club in terms of red...

As a Lowerhouse CC and Burnley FC fan im all for putting a dent in Burnley Cricket Club's revenues. Sweep the leg ;) Its a good job revenue from footy games isn’t what makes or breaks BCC. Hopefully the Lowerhouse members who are regulars for footy games at BCC will still make the trip to us today ...

thingandwhere

Those things could be moved elsewhere surely. It’s not a complete enclosed pitch. If the FC presented plans that did work for both sides you reckon the members would be likely to vote for it? It’s not hard to imagine that the FC would have to bend over backwards for some members who don’t have any ...

thingandwhere

Fair enough. You reckon the CC would be willing to let the FC extend the CFS back a few meters? The dead space between the boundary and the stand wall? Reckon the CC would play some home games elsewhere whilst redevelopment took place? Would make redevelopment much easier for the FC. If the CC woul...

The well known hearsay that the CC has been difficult to deal with.

Even if it’s nonsense...

I'm not sure what I can and cannot say to prove this but, for what it's worth, take my word as a lifelong member of BCC and active volunteer down there: It is 100% nonsense.

thingandwhere

I think what doesn't help this is that there is a opinion (rightly or wrongly I don't know) between lots of Burnley fans that the cricket club is a away designated pub where they all congregate. Lots don't want to mix before games. I went in a few times last season as it doesn't bother me The promo...

thingandwhere

Why on earth should the FC not use its clout to force collaboration if the CC won’t give an inch? It’s hearsay but it’s well known hearsay. Also the FC don’t owe the CC anything. The CC have done extremely well out of being neighbours. I’d much rather BFC fans gave their money to the FC than the CC...

thingandwhere

I've no love for Burnley CC but I hope this is a success. Like most small cricket clubs they rely on volunteers and a small staff to offer positive things for the community. I do think there is a mutually beneficial scenario that could work, but that's down to the CC and the FC. The CC has been maj...

thingandwhere

Of course you do because you support Burnley CC……I don’t I think it’s shocking that the CC is unlikely to offer an inch to the club because it’s bank rolling it. The CC is a parasite. The FC is the host. The FC could and should try its best to remove the financial benefits the CC gain from being ne...

Just a thought on a possible motive. Have the Cricket club traditionally blocked plans to rebuild the Cricketfield stand? The Cricket Club no doubt benefit from match footfall, and perhaps this will be used by the chairman as a negotiating tactic with the Cricket Club for a rebuild of that stand, p...

I appreciate your effort but every away fan will be in that vicinity A home fan that accesses you from behind the North stand would now have to trek all the way round through every away fan before the match all the way back round the cricket and football ground if in the Longside and all that again...

You won’t be able to use Belvedere Road beddie

Belevedere Road can be used on foot from all directions (and by car from Ormerod Road/fire station end to gain access to houses, side streets, Burnley Cricket Club)

thingandwhere

No I get that, but the club have made it a lot harder for home fans to get there after the game. Most are likely just to wander off into town now. To be fair, it's only harder for those coming in who used the Ormerod Yard driveway and you've still got unbeatable pricing waiting for you if you walk ...

The cricket club is most definitely for home and away fans.

Wonder how the cricket club take this, might not matter as much this year with big away followings but..... We've had a lot of questions received about whether we're open, offering parking, etc etc... Fuelled at their heart by the summer's rumour mill about whether these access changes have been co...

Sunderland always make the most of the cricket club along with home fans. There’s more going on this season too with usual parking and pie and peas but quality pizza, burger and ice cream trucks from some popular local vendors. Plus loads to keep the kids busy with inflatables and games and stuff on...

The comms about all this have certainly been muddled by BFC. With this in mind, I’ve been asked by BCC to share this: Seen a few questions on here about whether the cricket club is open on Saturday and the changes to how home fans are being routed around the ground. Just to be clear — yes, we’re ope...

Didn’t go right on the pitch but everyone seemed to have a good day off it. Plenty there too. Great fun for the kids and plenty of good food enjoyed with the both trucks selling out by 5pm ish.

Also on Sunday, Read Cricket Club are hosting the Hamer Cup Final between Padiham and Little Lever.

Parked on the housing estate behind that pub near the away end with no bother last time. 5 mins walk.

Don’t know about village pubs nearby at that time on a Sunday. But JJ’s, Royal Dyche and Burnley Cricket Club open from 8am all licensed.

I'll give it a reluctant miss. Our attitude in cup games is poor and generally the performances are so as well.
