I lived in Margate Road, Broomfield a couple of doors down from the Plough but moved to Downs Park in 2008.

I thought it was the Broomfield area. I lived in Greenhill until I moved to Ramsgate, then Broadstairs before moving to Rochdale nearly ten years ago, when I retired.

Born in Burnley 63 years ago but family moved to Kent in 1968. Supporting Burnley is an investment in the town, the club, the county and is like being on the biggest rollercoaster in the world. Sean Dyche gave us all memories and hopes that I never believed were possible (as did Owen Coyle). Best t...

I am soon to be 74 and have been playing since I moved to Rochdale 9 years ago. We play at the leisure Centre and it’s very casual not taken too seriously by most of us, we go for a laugh and the banter. Some, mostly the “younger “ ones are a little too enthusiastic🙄 at times. At the moment I am the...

Ordered my copy. Having lived in Kent for over 50 years ( Herne Bay, Ramsgate and Broadstairs ) I wonder whether our paths may have crossed travelling to and from Burnley. Did you ever get involved with the London Clarets? I retired to Rochdale 8 years ago and surprisingly enough I love it here !! ...

Claretforshaw

Agreed, I had the same problem.

We saw a very different side to VK on Mission to Burnley 2, no way to treat the players no wonder we were relegated, he really tore into JBG on the training ground, not sure what caused that tantrum.

When I was 15,some 58 years ago, I was introduced to his music by a friend of mine and we both joined his fan club. I bought most of his albums but never got to see him live until he played at Bridgewater Hall Manchester about 5 or 6 years ago. My hero from yesteryear was sitting by himself at a des...

Can't stand Pougatch, sounds like Zippy from Rainbow !!

I haven’t received them twice, apologies for repeating myself

I haven’t received mine yet

I'm there with my daughter for the Brighton match, how strict are they with the dress code, ie.no football shirts and trainers? Can you not wear anything to show your allegiance, like a jacket or top with a club badge for instance ?

Claretforshaw

I had the same problem regarding the Liverpool match, seat resold but no credit received, so I phoned the ticket office and apparently they are having problems with the system, which are being dealt with and they expect credits to be made soon.

Claretforshaw

What's happened to the fixtures for that weekend ? Just wondered .

Claretforshaw

My daughter is unwell so I had an available ticket to return, I tried at least eight times to call the ticket office through the club and their direct line, no pick up. Even the club receptionist couldn’t get through to the ticket office. I emailed and received the automated reply but no response. T...

A breath of fresh air, spoke well and intelligently, unlike most of the usual sky pundits. I hope he becomes a regular.

Bambi.....when his Mum is killed, I still remember the tears and that must have been about 65 years ago.

I was watching “A delicate sound of thunder” suddenly there was thunder and lightening and I lost my sky signal, very annoying.

Same happened to me last night, seems ok today, the battery is quite new. I drive a Renault Captur now and for some reason I always buy Renaults, in over 30 years only once did I have a key issue.

Maybe Bank of Dave ?

Update, we duly went back to the branch today to see the personal banker who had the equipment to photograph my wife holding up the ID documentation. She had called in sick and there was no other personal banker available but I could try to see someone at the Bury branch or go back on Monday . Well ...

My Wife's Mobile Phone App suddenly displayed an RG21K Error code, saying that Barclays had insufficient ID details to register the app. My Wife has banked with them for 32 years and has been using the app probably for a couple of years. The message displayed advised her to visit her local branch ( ...

Adelphi Liverpool, iconic it may be but it should be demolished and rebuilt, well past its sell by date.

Just checked it seems it’s on BBC 4 at 10.30 pm. Well worth a watch despite having watched it about 4 or 5 times before. Reminds me of the many years I supported and watched pretty much every match (as well as the reserves ) at Herne Bay FC when I lived down that part of the world, still pop in and ...

I hadn't realised there are quite a few Premier League fixtures still being played on Saturday, whilst all Championship fixtures have been moved to Monday. I am still irritated that I shall miss the last match of the season due to a pre booked holiday starting on the Monday, so why were the Champion...

Let's just beat them at their own ground and be champions of the league, says more than a thousand words.

I went to Rochdale football Club just over 4 years ago (on the advice of Barry Kilby at a book signing event) and thought it’s about time I went again, as I am now 72, the test result was green. Last Saturdays testing didn’t seem to be promoted on the clubs website so I registered with the BKPCA and...

My reason for supporting The Clarets, 9 years old living in Surrey, kicking a ball around at the end of the road an older lad told me about this forward playing for a team called Burnley. I was hooked and now 71 years old and living in Rochdale

So we are now at the "Brian Laws was forced out and its was all the fans fault" of the desire to be noticed on this message board Outstanding “Desire to be noticed on this message board” ? From whom I wonder ? Are we not able to ask a simple question or make an observation ? Surely everyone is enti...

It’s been quite interesting on here the past 24hours. It would appear that there are people who support Dyche more than Burnley such is the emotional pain and outburst at the events. Regardless what ever your view is, the mere fact that people are feeling this way shows that Dyche was allowed to be...

I have little confidence in the current board to appoint a manager who can do a better job than the one they have just sacked, particularly as they hold the purse strings very tightly.

Claretforshaw

I am also feeling positive today, it will be a drab match, arsenal will score in the first half, we will have a player sent off early doors ( probably Brownhlll ). We will hold on to that for most of the match, arsenal will have a player sent off late on and will score two goals in the last ten minu...

How about “ I get it” rather than “I understand that”

Seems to be less than social distancing at this event, the audience all over each other if a player gets 180, more so if they win. So when this big audience goes home what are they taking with them I wonder? It seems common sense does not prevail.

Claretforshaw

I popped into the ticket office on Sunday and was able to get two tickets without any problems, just had to provide my claret number. The website at that time was showing that tickets were “unavailable”.

Don’t mess about which one ?

Where is Mancini ? Whenever I have seen him he has looked a tidy player. Is he injured or on loan somewhere ?

Travelling from Doncaster to Rochdale yesterday afternoon, from about the Huddersfield turn off, the Matrix signs were slowing the traffic down to 20 MPH with a message "Oncoming Vehicle" ! We all slowed down to about 50 MPH when two Police Vehicles zoomed past us in the outside lane at about 100 MP...

Blimey Sky are milking this, presumably why I pay so much to them each month , sometimes I wonder why I bother !

Claretforshaw

It seems that Sky Sports thinks that nothing else in the football world exists other than Ronaldo and his imminent transfer to Manure.
