With the encyclopaedic knowledge base available in here, I thought I’d check in with the board. I’m looking to take my wife and 10 year old to Florida next year - 11 at time of return. It’s nearly 30 years since I went, and I’m looking for advice on where to go, what to do, and most importantly, how...

I hadn’t heard anything about extra tickets until my mate said it today.

Either way just need the transport.

Was hoping the extra tickets was true and there’d be extra coaches.

Looks like I’m driving then

BobHaidong

I’m looking for a seat on a coach as well if one comes available please.

BobHaidong

Looking for coach transport to Deadwood and back. I’ve been told we’re getting extra tickets for the game against that lot on the 4th. I already have a ticket but no travel. Is there anyone on here from boundary clarets, or another supporters club who knows whether they will have extra coaches now?

I’ve seen the offer of a ticket for the Bob Lord stand, but does anyone have a spare adult ticket for the Longside Upper tonight?

My son is home from University for Easter and fancied going into watch.

Happy to pay a sensible amount or donate to the food bank.

Some jump to the Premier league after just 8 championship game's

94 games and no goals, not great.

Pendle Hippodrome certainly used to hire costumes. The theatre is currently having refurbishment work done but it's worth asking. I’m stood in the Pendle Hippodrome as I type. There does still appear to be a costume hire according to the adverts on the TV in the bar area. Pendle Hippodrome wardrobe...

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve checked again with him this morning and he’s managed to get on with Boundary Clarets

With the train strikes, my dad and my daughter are now trying to find 2 seats on a coach for the Newcastle game.

Does anyone on here know of any availability please?

BobHaidong

Heard someone call Foster sh!te today and that JayRod should be starting.

We can all have different opinions, but anyone who has watched the last 2 games and thinks Foster is sh!te does not have a clue.

Noticed last game that the prices in JHU were displayed as £3.00 for pint and &6.00 for a half. Clearly an error but pretty basic and assumed somebody would notice and put it right this week. Big nope. Still £3.00 a pint and £6.00 for half. On the other hand something which was not clearly an error ...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a bathroom fitter?

Recently had a terrible experience with an independent roofer so likely to be looking at using a company who can do the lot eg Wickes so that we’ve got some kind of protection if things don’t go to plan.

Really hope Coventry go up. From a selfish pov very unlikely they'd stay up compared to boro or the other 2, Sunderlandfor sure. But they've done brilliantly to get where they are. Only caveat is I'd like a certain swedish striker to get a move here which might be less likely if they go up No chanc...

At the time, felt getting rid of Dyche was madness, still believe we’d have had a better chance of stopping up with him, but we’ll never know. As it turns out, maybe getting relegated and having a complete rebuild is what was needed, which I don’t think would’ve happened under Dyche in the same way ...

A man wakes up from surgery after a terrible injury to his hand and learns that he’s had 3 of his fingers amputated.

He says to the doctor “will I still be able to drive with this hand like this?”

The doctor replies, “I would hope so, but don’t count on it.”

I wonder if Josh Stones is the lad who was getting first team football at Guiseley last year as a 17 year old. My lad was in the England schoolboy trials with him at all 3 stages. I knew after the first trial that Josh would make the squad. Unfortunately my lad didn’t get beyond the final trial. The...

Not a recommendation because I’ve never been, but a colleague travels from Blackburn to Burnley to go to his recommended Thai takeaway.

It’s at the top of Padiham road set back on the raised bit as you go towards Gannow Top roundabout.

Anybody else been?

Joey, to an extent, gave me a special birthday. He’d scored in the first half at MK but he gave the team a blasting at half time and we ran out 5-0 winners. Winning 5-0 on your birthday isn’t bad.

Beating Blackburn for the first time in your lifetime was a pretty decent birthday present for me.

What's Earnest got to do with it????

According to Wikipedia, “Earnest is a ghost town in Farmington Township, Rooks County, Kansas, United States.”

So I assume it’s where we will be going for our training camp prior to our US based pre season tour.

Are Everton not royally F’d in the A if they stay up due to them being about to fail FFP?

If that’s the case, then Leeds to go down this year and Everton to take the points deduction and go next year.

A square is a rectangle. Yes a square meets the definition for a rectangle so that’s not the actual reason that a football pitch can’t be square. I should’ve been more specific, but then Hipper identified the other explicit part of the law about touchlines being longer than goal-lines. I don’t beli...

BobHaidong

I think you could have a square pitch if you had the maximum width and minimum length, it would be 100 yards square. (Obviously under the laws of the game, not Premier rules.) The laws explicitly state that the pitch must be rectangular, so you could have an almost square pitch if you go minimum le...

Chris Waddle sounds worse than I'd previously believed !

Nigel Gleghorn was the FA tutor on my Level 2 coaching course. It didn’t take much reading between the lines to see his opinion of Chris Waddle.

As a Burnley born lad who went to school in Blackburn in the 90s, and endured the ever present taunts, this was a fantastic birthday present from Sean and the lads. I didn’t realise until this result how much a victory over Blackburn would mean to me. I’d written it off as never going to happen in m...

My first Burnley game. After years of trying to get my dad to take me, he finally gave in. We saw a few games towards the end of that season and I’m pretty sure he’s had a season ticket since. I didn’t need a season ticket for a few years as free entry was one of the perks of selling the striker lot...

The answer to number 11 is obviously 1. Not sure about the rest though.

Of course. In my defence it was silly o’clock in the morning when I was looking. I was thinking about the wording around the fields which might suggest the third field wasn’t his field so he’d have none.

BobHaidong

9/10 but I only knew 2 for certain. 2-3 educated guesses and then sheer dumb luck.

BobHaidong

Maybe I’m just a silly person. I got them all straight away although I’m not 100% on no11. I’ll not spoil it though by putting my answers so early in the thread.

Well, I’ve had the email today to say Marcus hasn’t been selected for the final squad. In the bit of the warm up I saw, he was the best of the 4 goalkeepers, but he tells me that he’d had a bit of a shocker (a rarity for him) before we got to the pitches, so he was expecting to not be selected. It l...

I note that the Final Trial is now on Sunday 19th. December at Lilleshall - time ?

Kick off for the U18s is 1.30pm

Good luck Marcus, although having played with him these last couple of seasons, he won't need it!!!

You obviously know who I am now, although you’d never have guessed from my username.

Thanks everyone. I know he’ll give it his absolute best.

They’ve normally named the successful trialists at each stage by the following evening, so I hope to give you all good news on Monday.
