Swamp Thing - The Chameleons

20th November at the Grand in Clitheroe if you don’t believe me (still a few tickets available).

IrkthePurists

Off to Everton for the England v Australia test in November. Top level RL is a great sport to watch.

IrkthePurists

If somebody had said we’d be out of the bottom 3 after our opening 4 fixtures I’d have snatched their hand off.

IrkthePurists

What a shame.

Bring back Elaine!

Leisure - the problem was that BFC had resent some tickets out to people who had not received their original tickets for whatever reason (wrong email address on system in our case, my son’s fault!) but instead of sending ‘Spurs’ tickets they had sent some sort of BFC proxy tickets that had no abilit...

IrkthePurists

Brilliant.

IrkthePurists

So I ordered 4 tickets and only received one.

Am I right in thinking they have tried to send the others to the email addresses of the clarets number holders used?

IrkthePurists

Up the Rams!

Been so inconsistent this season, but if JJ fires he’s a joy to watch. Couldn’t make it today unfortunately, but hopefully the weather meant a good turnout and local cricket was the winner.

Burnley have lost by 12 runs

Nice warm up for the Worsley cup final!

Thank you. PL website now showing the tv displacements for week 1, but nothing after that.

Spent the first half of the evening at Haslingden watching my nephew play for Clitheroe 15s then just caught the end of Rammy in their T20 followed a couple of beers.

Great crowds and atmospheres at both grounds.

IrkthePurists

Sorry if I am being really thick, but have Sky announced any fixtures yet? If Spurs are in the Super Cup the preceding g Wednesday that will rule Friday out but this game could be moved for tv to Sunday or Monday?

IrkthePurists

My wife is a Walsall fan. That’ll teach her for taking the pee out of me when Leeds scored in the 91st minute.

IrkthePurists

Good finish at Rammy to round the day off nicely

IrkthePurists

Winchester good fun with lots of different games on

IrkthePurists

The awards evening is next Sunday (before the end of the season) and the panel will already have met and made their decision, potentially when Sheff U were top.

Wouldn’t that be hilarious if Wilder won it

IrkthePurists

That full interview with Parker is brilliant.

IrkthePurists

£20 fee to change hotel date in Derby, and son will probably miss Norwich.

Thanks EFL.

IrkthePurists

Yeah, do a Sheff United and give us another block in the main stand (for those with long memories)

IrkthePurists

The sheer number of night matches is going to be a part of this, especially when they are all televised. The impact might not be noticed as keenly by those who live within the town, but for those traveling from further afield the rush from work to be able park within a mile of the ground, find some...

****. I knew he had been ill but that is really sad news. Never saw The Jam but seen From the Jam dozens of times, their annual gigs at The Grand in Clitheroe were fantastic and Rick’s energy totally infectious. Rest in Peace Rick. Forget my earlier post. Had an absolute meltdown. From the Jam have...

Great prices. Well done PNE.

Ironically, I am currently in a cafe enjoying a coffee after climbing Hartsop Above How this morning, no. 80 for me. Yesterday I did Seat Sandal, no. 79! My approach is I just use the original Wainwright books and the OS app and maps. I’ve only got a few random ones left to finish the Central and Ea...

But he’s not well ahead of Laurent. It’s Laurent who is in the squad or team every game. He’s played in two cup ties and done well, he plays well in the under 21s, but a loan and regular first team football could have served both him and us well. Tony, you’ve got a lot of knowledge of the youth set...

Thanks for posting this. If you do nothing else today watch this. Magnificent stuff.

Best wishes, Scott Arfield. Many of us know why Scott Arfield wore #37 shirt at Burnley - in memory of his mate who wore #37 at Falkirk and died, age 17, in an accident. Falkirk retired #37 in the young lad's memory. Scott Arfield will wear #37, again, while he's at Falkirk. The #37 shirt will be r...

Great read. Oxford are an interesting club. Currently trying to get planning permission and funding in place for a £150m absolute state of the art stadium, trading off the global reputation of the city. A far cry from the Manor Ground but you can see how it could potentially work and take them to an...

Irk, The Chameleons "Script of the Bridge" is one of my favourite post punk albums.

My favourite album of all time, from my favourite band of all time. The Grand is one of 4 Chameleons gigs this year, we’ve a big contingent looking forward to that and Manchester the following evening.

IrkthePurists

We had a lovely week there a few years ago. Was very hot, I’d like to go again spring/autumn time.

IrkthePurists

Can’t make it unfortunately but will be a great gig, 6 music were bogging it up the other day as it’s part of their BBC Introduces programme linked to independent venue week.

We have however purchased tickets for The Chameleons at The Grand in November which will be another great night.

IrkthePurists

One email to the ticket office to just confirm all our tickets would be renewed by DD. Positive answer back 5 minutes later. I wish I got that service from other things I buy online if I have a question.

He has. Announced. Couldn’t care less myself (sure he’ll do well for Boro though.

Perfect scenario. I hope he gives them the edge they need to take points off Leeds, Sunderland and Sheffield.

I'm not 100% but I think it was released before they covered that track

Can always rely on Ptangyandkipperbang to jump on a mention of The Fall

IrkthePurists

The Fall did more excellent cover versions than every other artist combined.

IrkthePurists

I stand corrected., it was against Torquay. Attendance was 2,718 and James netted from a penalty to equalise.late on. I've narrowed the field of away supporters to the following: One was a genuine Torquay fan from nearby. The second bloke continues to follow the Clarets and might have been 'scoutin...

Our defence cannot be breached.

Our attack will continue to improve.

Also worth mentioning that the local buses are superb. We have stayed in Costa Adeje a few times and enjoy the walk to Caleta but have used the buses to lots of different places.

Mainly go to cycle, which is fairly brutal but amazing roads and scenery once you get off the coast.

That playlist was compiled by my mate Mike. He used to present the breakfast show back when it was 2BR. He knows his music. Still works at Ewood on match days. So has no choice but to watch us beat them. If you search "Blackburn Rovers Official Playlist" I think it'll come up on Spotify. ACR and Th...

Thought he was excellent all round today. Might make a striker out of him yet.

The coach tickets are a scroll down on the 'ticket assignment' page.

As I'd purchased the match tickets I had to add another match ticket to the basket, then add three coach tickets, then assign the coach tickets, then remove the match ticket.

Did you do the Hokey Cokey and turnaround?

IrkthePurists

Sorted. As with others, gave up trying to select seats and the process became mildly frustrating rather than outright impossible.

IrkthePurists

Had a complete career change at 40 (not into a trade) into something I had a real passion for.

Could not recommend it more.

I think match going supporters at all Football League clubs are now realising what a dreadful tv deal this is. Further proof here with three games in a matter of weeks moved to Friday or Monday. Yep. It’s going to be a drip drip drip effect. A lot of season ticket holders this year probably didn’t ...

I'd argue people are connected to Steve, gives his all every single game. I couldn’t accuse anyone in this team of not giving their all. The Millwall game aside, where we just didn’t turn up, I think the effort is there. The execution clearly isn’t but the fact we are 4th and keeping the back door ...

IrkthePurists

Just seen this, RIP Big Ste. Lovely guy who was a really big part of our growing up watching Burnley. Always looked after us younger lads on away trips and followed us through the really thin times. Absolute stalwart of the Ribble Valley Clarets, hopefully he’ll be catching up with Dave, Matt, Smith...

I thought 10 points from this run of 6 games between the international breaks would be a very decent return. 5 from 3 so far. I thought Parker’s comment after the game was interesting, these players aren’t used to playing in teams where the opposition park the bus and need to learn how to create the...

We’re enjoying Warsaw. Would have been happy to tune into the game tomorrow but equally happy to follow the texts and see what happens UTC

IrkthePurists

Anybody got a clue to a pub in Warsaw that might show the game on Saturday?
