And they slipped in that Belvedere road is to be closed for 2 hours before the match until 40 minutes after which is going to make it even harder for anyone parked at that end of town such as bank hall to get to the motorway including a lot of away fans who park around Queen’s Park. Never mind even ...

There are i think two interconnected issues here Firstly the ice cream vans pay the council a licence fee for the pitch ,they will pay more for exclusivity , the council run the rotunda so don't permit it to compete , the stables cafe does sell ice cream but its not cheap and a lot of people wont be...

Interesting that the club statement says “The first phase of the roll-out, which is subject to an ongoing planning approval process,” given that I can’t find any registered application on the BBC. Planning website. If they haven’t applied for it yet it will be the quickest consent in planning histor...

Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get to either game but having been to both towns it’s less than a no brainier to say choose Shrewsbury, lovely town loads and loads of great pubs and restaurants good river cruise , lots of history , lovely scenic drive there, good modern ground and then ther...

It’s a bit of a faff but if you go onto the ticketing site and look for season tickets it shows a picture of the turf with available seats you can zoom in on and their numbers , you may be able to work out your seat location

When our son was at Christ the king school we were waiting for school to finish by the rose and crown when a fleet of police and immigration vans pulled up and carted off a load of the car wash workers and that’s over 10 years ago so sounds like they have been up to it for a long time

Queens mill is back open I believe, featured in many Industrial Revolution documentaries, it was closed down due to lack of funding around COVID lockdown. I’m not sure if they lost some of their weaving machines to others like Helmshoreclaret and Manchester during that time but hopefully not. Asham...

As I think we are nailed on for the playoffs the cautious style of play doesn’t help the team prepare for must win matches rather than the current must not lose style it’s going to take a sudden and dramatic switch which I don’t think we will be able to do , I would rather they tried a more attackin...

Last 4 - w3 d1

Last 6 Leeds and Sheffield won 5 lost 1 we drew 3 won 3
That’s 15 points each for Leeds and Sheffield 12 for us
They have pulled away from us by a win in that time , as I say inexorable if we keep playing not to lose rather then to win

Could be potentially a point gained, need a favour Off Luton-I am fully expecting Leeds to win Monday so could be a good result this.

It’s not a point gained the top 2 have won 5 of the last 6 matches we have won 3 the gap is getting 2 points bigger every time we draw

Roger1960

I think it’s pretty straightforward,Leeds and Sheffield utd keep winning we keep drawing the gap inexorably widens , either Parker tries to win or it’s the playoffs and you can’t win those with draws. His use of substitutes to try and effect a positive change is even worse then SD,s we are virtually...

Coincidentally Me and my son travelled to Newport county yesterday to tick off our 97th ground ,I think it might have been a more fun game to watch than Burnley’s a 1-0 win for county over Barrow with a comical back pass headed own goal.

Flooding can also be a risk if a property is in a local dip or at the bottom of even a small hill. With far higher risk now of unusual storms ,think Valencia , the issue comes from surface water systems being overwhelmed so if your property is in such a location some of the really detailed radar hei...

Can't say I've noticed a dangerous free for all with pedestrians crossing all over the place at the junction itself. On Yorkshire Street itself next to the pubs on a Friday or Saturday night however is another thing entirely. Like you thought anecdotally I'm not convinced the junction has eased con...

It’s not just a factor of temperature the salinity and therefore density of the water in the northern hemisphere is key and that is being severely effected by the melting artic ice cap and Greenland ice sheet and this is and will change this current with unknown consequences.

The problem is that the crisis moves too slowly compared to the human lifespan, which leads to complacency and apathy. On top of that there will never be a clearly defined tipping point; fine today, disaster the next. Just slowly, slowly getting worse. One thing that is very predictable, if you thi...

The planet is still not even at the average temperature of the 12th century! All our official weather records date back, at most, to the 17 and 18 hundreds just after the mini ice age. I know they have done tree ring sampling, but the further back in time you want to go, the smaller the sample size...

It’s free if you are using the cinema but you need to put your registration into a machine in the cinema foyer ,ask the staff about it when you go in to get your tickets

Lidl were needed by the council to pay enough for the cinema site to persuade them to move to anchor the council funded town centre leisure Scheme , other uses including residential in that location would just not have paid enough for the site to make that work.

My memory says that they did ask Burnley residents what they wanted before unveiling the Turf to Town project. Although I assume they knew what they had planned beforehand because I doubt many put this plan forward. Re-reading i think we are saying the same thing! The consultation for TTT I think t...

It’s fine arguing that a new development should be an architectural masterpiece using local materials such as the town hall but that ignores future obsolescence of the use . Go inside the offices in the town hall as I have and you see how impractical and unsuitable they are as modern office space. T...

I don’t think The problem with the van in townley isn’t the ridiculous prices , people can make their own decision whether to buy it or not , for me it’s their very deliberately tiny price list , so small it’s almost impossible to read. They clearly rely on people being unable to read it until they ...

Although it’s more expense I wouldn’t use the roofing felt sheds normally come with as it always wears out pretty quickly and instead invest in a rubberised sheet covering , easy put on and will last decades

“I don't think there's much mileage in it, unless the local MP fancies doing election photo ops in front of road barriers and gridlocked traffic.”
It is funny how our glorious MP has stopped claiming credit for the levelling up money used to pay for T2T since it turned into such a total sh*t show

I have issues with the ongoing town to turf and proposed civic quarter proposal. Firstly why are they consulting on a proposal that has not had any input from the people, I think they should take a step back and first ask people what issues in Burnley they think are a priority be it housing, crime ,...

I know we’d never do it because to fully rebuild the ground today would cost £200m+ I’d imagine with material costs, and building on the same site is more expensive than a clear site because of demolition cost and complexities meaning it takes longer. Rotating the ground 90°, as Andre mentioned abo...

I've repeatedly asked our MP to get involved (everytime his facebook post lands) but he seems not to want to know. The Opposition candidate ditto.

I doubt it’s possible to disentangle the various elements that are impacting trade for all the businesses on Yorkshire street from each other and put the blame on one only.

The problem is the way it's being done. Keeping 2 way traffic on Yorkshire Steet except where physically impossible should have been top priority. It just has not been.
