To its perimeter obviously

Are you counting Colne? It's built up that far.

The population of the Burnley built up area is 193,474.

I write that for no other reason than I know it and I want everyone else to know I know it.

How far out does it spread?

Cheers for that, top grub in there.

You remembered the owner of the Lionheart's name. I'd forgotten it. He sold it. It doesn't have the same atmosphere now. I'd argue that the whole town isn't what it was.

Quicknick

I'd never never heard of Marcus Phelan.

Interesting that both Wyn and Ron signed for United well beyond the point when their personal careers had peaked

Wyn when they started their slide towards relegation and Ron during their one season in the second tier

I didn't know they both played for Manure.

Just been past on my motorcycle, mate. It's still there. Ala do Castelo, to give it its full title.

Nick named 'The Mighty Wyn' probably in reference to Manfred Mann's 'The Mighty Quinn'

The fans certainly took their song from Manfred Mann's number.

Quicknick

Any early Irvine Welsh novel.

Quicknick

yes and I spoke to you in the bar that Jose ran but can't remember its name I didn't get down today as I was busy, but I'm into town tomorrow. I've walked past it a couple of times this trip without really taking it in. I think it's still the same, but I'll confirm this tomorrow evening. Did we cha...

Quicknick

Fabulous.

Quicknick

I remember Wyn Davies getting the winner for Newcastle at the Turf. 1-0 in the late '60s, I think. Very good header of the ball.

Colin McDonald is the oldest surviving England International Footballer. The second oldest is not Brian Douglas but former West Ham player Ken Brown, who is 3 months older than Brian.

Well spotted.

Quicknick

Forgot to put the link in. Costelo it is. I will check tomorrow.

Quicknick

holdyourfire, you mean this place. The problem is this Googlemaps link is from 2020. The hospital was still there then. I've got to go into town tomorrow, so I'll go that way and have a look.

Hi Quicknick is castello's still open across from the hospital ?

Where was the hospital when you were last here? On a cobbled side street near the centre, because it's moved now? Was Castello's the restaurant opposite?

Quicknick

Where in Portugal is this?

Quicknick

I'm already on it: Lagos, southwest Portugal, seeing I have a condo here.

Quicknick

Good band, indeed. RIP, Dave Cousins.

On a way smaller scale (but just as annoying to me) the landlord at the Tivoli, next to Milmoor, let me buy a round of eight drinks then told me the game was off.

That must have been very annoying.

Quicknick

If it is four million euros, it's a superb piece of business I was really disappointed when he left, so glad he's back. Definitely Premier League standard.

I love this, "We've never seen Tchaouma play" or "no idea how good he is".

Well I'd hope having spent 14 million euros on him, the club both have seen him play and have a fair idea of how good he is.

I'm sure they have.

Quicknick

If JBL has signed, I'm pleased.

Demoted to Conference League subject to appeal

I read that as the National Conference. Pity it isn't.

Quicknick

Got beaten at in the last home match that season by Coventry. We were already relegated, but David Cross was superb: hatrick.

Quicknick

Someone asked about the last time we signed a current England international and the closest we found was Joe Hart and he hadn’t played for England in over a year. So maybe it is the first time. I've been going back in time in my head. Back in the early/mid-'60s, when we were really big, we didn't e...

Quicknick

The team is shaping up to be stronger than the Championship team. Under Kompany, I'm convinced we started the Premier League campaign with a weaker side than we got promoted with.

The more I think about it, the more I think what a fantastic signing this is.

Slightly off-topic, just noticed a new voice interviewing Kyle Walker - sounded very professional.

I was going to mention the professional-sounding reviewer.

Quicknick

Stunning signing. UTC

Quicknick

I'd never heard of Thomas Partey.

Quicknick

Dreadful news.

Frank Casper's last goal for Burnley, a twice-taken free kick against QPR. The first one went in, but he had to take it again. No problem to Frank. In it went. The trouble is I'm not sure this was in the last minute.

Edit: 18/10/1975: 87th minute.

They aren't for kids. It's all part of the clubs online and social media presence. It's relevant with drumming up interest. They aren't a bad thing at all.

Maybe 'kids' was an exaggeration. I can't stand them, though. Old Me.

Quicknick

Agree with both of you. They're for kids.

Perhaps I am old fashioned. But I am a. bit bored of the video reveals. The first one or two when they were new were quite good.

But I prefer the old reveals myself!

Totally agree.

Quicknick

Bring back the old Cricket Field End.

Quicknick

Quicknick

Will do & I hope you are right. I just think it's far too early to be punchy with predictions I'm more geared towards grounded optimism. I am the ultimate optimist, but I'm only predicting 15th for the Clarets. Leeds will finish 10th, although I'm willing them to go down as a former Skiptonian. It'...

Morley only came back on loan.

I should have started at the top of the thread. I'd have spotted the on-loan reference then.

All in the last 50 years as well. Leighton James even came back twice! Had totally forgotten Tony Morley came back.

I don't want to go to Chelsea...

Sunderland will go down. We won't. Leeds won't.

Sticks in the throat to say it, but Blackburn back in the day was a really good night.

Awful now though.

Agreed. Blackburn was a great night out in the '70s.

Quicknick

It surely must be a new thing where a promoted side loses its best players and they don’t stick around for a shot at the premier league with us. I genuinely don’t remember this being a thing back in the day. That said. A big offer for Trafford I’d be happy with. It’s just a shame that CJER was OOC ...

Quicknick

I can hardly believe it.

I will be very upset if Esteve goes, but I'm sure we will get offers.
Football is horrible nowadays, you have to feel for Scott Parker after all the brilliant work he's done to lose his best players.

It always has been: Dobson to Everton in 1974; James to Derby in 1975. Plus many others.
