I thought watching Burnley was stressful, but this is unbearable.

Now 3-1

Fair play to those who went today. I gave it a swerve as I could have predicted that scoreline.

Ditto, although I’ll be going to Villa, Wolves, West Ham and Brentford.

It’s a long time since I’ve been able to do 36 holes of golf in one day.

I’m knackered after 18 these days.

Lancs requie 133 to win , I would say they will push for this tonight .

I think you’re right.

We’re going at 7 an over. Two wickets down, but we only need another 47.

The thing i hate most about US crowds is the constant "GET IN THE HOLE" screaming
it really is obnoxious.

Yes, and they shout this when an American is driving off on a par 5! Moronic.

This is my favourite sporting event. It’s fantastic.

Basher on the bench - what can go wrong

Well, no experience apart from Basher.

lakedistrictclaret

The main reservation is that there isn’t a lot of experience to bring on if things are going wrong

lakedistrictclaret

11 changes, but that’s still a strong side.

Because you weren’t doing much over the limit, you’ll probably get the option of a speed awareness course ( unless you’ve done one in the last three years ). The advantages are that you don’t get points, you’re not obliged to notify your insurers, and you can now do them at home, online. They cost a...

Nine county championship matches today. There has been play in one of them so far ( at the Oval ), and two, including Lancashire at Old Trafford, have already been called off for the day. This is what the championship has become. You are either sat there shivering in April, or watching it rain in Se...

Anyone having trouble buying tickets? I have over 2000 points but it’s saying the event isn’t available to me yet.

I’ve got a XTrail love it .

Best car I’ve ever had.

lakedistrictclaret

My present car, a Nissan X-Trail, is powered by electricity but has a petrol engine which charges the two batteries. It is not a plug-in. I like it because it has the advantage of quick acceleration without the range anxiety. Whilst I’d love to have a fully electric car, it would be totally impracti...

Hope you don't want to see the big screen for team details.....

I’ve had to move from the back of the Longside Upper, so I’ve bought a ticket for the back row of the Bob Lord. I apologise to the person whose seat I’ve pinched. Actually, as a one off, I’m rather looking forward to watching the match from a totally different angle, but I’ll be glad to get back to ...

My brothers are going to get home in decent time tonight.

This 100 over game will be all over within 40.

lakedistrictclaret

These England players don’t play 50 over games.

Because of the Hundred, the Royal London Cup has been turned into a journeyman and second eleven competition.

It’s little wonder we’re no good at it.

Did he blame the alcoholism, the white powder or his gambling problems for that? If he did it just because he thought it was funny, then he's beneath contempt. It’s a few years since I read it, and I got rid of the book long ago, but as I recall he wasn’t blaming his demons, it was all just a laugh...

anybody paying merson a wage should be prosecuted under the animals (scientific procedures) act (1986).

I’ve read Merson’s autobiography.

On away trips in a hotel, his idea of fun was to have a poo in the bed of one of his teammates.

Somehow, I don’t think he and I would have got on.

Getting out was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The congestion near the club shop was no worse than it used to be going up Ormerod Yard. We got lost briefly in the Holcombe Drive estate trying to find Belvedere Road, but I think I know the way now. It probably adds five minutes to my w...

Do they seriously expect hundreds or thousands of people to turn up two hours before kick-off simply to welcome the arrival of the team coach?

Deluded.

But, as has been said above, it’s all an attempt to get people there early to spend money on rubbish and overpriced food and drink.

Will do beddie.

I expect many of us will share our experiences on here after tomorrow’s game, so that together we can make the best of what is a thoroughly bad job.

lakedistrictclaret

We park up just before the Fire Station. We’ll be leaving the JHS and walking round past the club shop and up Harry Potts Way then right onto Belvedere road, we’ll be walking past the away coaches so that’ll add to the congestion. There are a lot of vehicles that park at the far end of Belvedere ro...

As I understand it, W H Smith are losing every one one of their high street branches, and will only be found in airports and railway stations.

What gets me is the sheer arrogance of it. Some of us who post on here have been going regularly for fifty or sixty years, or even more, and yet we are told we have to change our routine every match, for a reason that I still cannot really understand. Who the hell do they think they are? They’ve onl...

On the original thread about these “ enhancements “, there was mention of cutting back past the memorial dugout and along Holcombe Drive to the Fire Station, which is the direction I need to go after the match. Is this still possible? Is the route obvious? For the last thirty years I’ve entered and ...

Former Lancashire pace bowler has died, aged 80.

He formed a great opening pace attack with Peter Lever in the late 1960s.

I have got mine eventually, but is there a worse ticketing website anywhere?

Also, there doesn’t seem on option simply to upload the ticket onto my season ticket card, as there has been in the past.

lakedistrictclaret

Thanks Tony. Sums up my thoughts. There were a few promising signs, but the big difference was that when they got into our penalty area they were clinical, when we got into theirs we weren’t. It’s obviously going to be a struggle to keep out of the bottom three, but we can start by beating Sunderlan...

Seven Sisters is advertised as a 30 minute walk from the ground, but I’ve done it in 25.

lakedistrictclaret

Yippee!

It’s taken me three hours or more, but it’s in wallet on my phone.

What worked for me is sending the email with the ticket from one of my email accounts to the other.

lakedistrictclaret

When I click the link on my iPhone, nothing happens.

I’ve just spoken to a very helpful lady at the Ticket Office at Turf Moor, and my name has been added to a growing list of people with the same problem.

They are going to find a way to sort this out, and get back to me.

Have you checked your wallet ?
Mine just appeared in there after pressing the link

No, it’s not there.
I’ll keep trying.

lakedistrictclaret

Help!

I’ve got the digital ticket on my phone, but when I press that long code ( must be over 100 characters ), nothing happens.

How do I send it to my wallet?

lakedistrictclaret

Mine has just arrived in today’s post

lakedistrictclaret

Nothing here yet.
I was speaking to my sister yesterday and she hasn’t received hers yet either.
We sit next to each other in Block 7 of the Longside Upper.
It’s possible they are being sent out Stand by Stand, Block by Block.

Still nothing arrived in the North West Lakes.

I’ll leave it until Tuesday, then ring the Club if it’s still not here.

Thanks, ChrisG and Wilks_bfc. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll have a look at it.

This will impact me severely. I park in the car park beyond the Queen Vic pub and I’ve always just come out of the Longside upper, walked past the cricket ground onto Belvedere Road, and up to my car. Now, presumably, I’ll have to turn right on leaving the stand, and walk round three sides of the gr...
