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.

No, VAR says offside

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...

lakedistrictclaret

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.

Have the digital tickets been emailed out? I’ve not had anything yet

Likely to be early next week.

lakedistrictclaret

Still nothing arrived in the North West Lakes.

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

lakedistrictclaret

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

lakedistrictclaret

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...

lakedistrictclaret

Nothing here yet.

They haven’t reached Cumbria yet.

lakedistrictclaret

Presumably we’ll be able to print the ticket at home, instead of messing about with mobile phones at the turnstiles.

lakedistrictclaret

Really easy situation to solve: names on tickets to show it's you who's paid for the ticket and show ID at the turnstiles to a steward. You can buy the tickets on behalf of others who have the points - easy to check through the computer systems - and on arrival at the turnstiles show some form of I...

Seats still available, if you’ve got 2000 points.

lakedistrictclaret

Got mine, but it wasn’t straightforward. Like 1989-claret, I just accepted the one I was given. It wouldn’t let me choose my own.

lakedistrictclaret

Oh No.
One of my all time Claret heroes. I started supporting Burnley in 1965-66, when Willie was scoring for fun.

My sincerest condolences to all his friends and family.

I’ve gone for Palace in 2016/17.

It may not have been the best performance, but it was the day after I retired, so I was in a good mood, and I still remember the sense of relief that we were staying up when Andre Gray scored the second near the end.

It’s not that long since I got it at the first attempt too.

Yes, it was only a few weeks ago. I don’t suppose they’ll use it again, but I’m still going to open with STARE.

I always start with STARE because those are the five letters most likely to be in a word

Spooky!

STARE has been my opening word ever since I started playing.

lakedistrictclaret

I got it in three.
I knew the word, the fact that I did Latin at school helped.

The main reason for Bentley’s original conviction was the biased summing up of Lord Justice Goddard, who virtually told the jury to convict him.

They’re almost certainly fake.

They’ve got Man U and Man C both away on the opening weekend, then both at home the following week.

Nice to hear from you, Neil. Hope you’re keeping well.

Thanks John, I’m fine. Still playing golf and walking the fells. I couldn’t be without my Working Cocker, I’m sure you’d say the same!

I had a couple of years off in the mid-80s, after moving back to Cumbria to a new job and getting married. I went to Orient at home in December 1985, and the next match I saw was Carlisle away on New Year’s Day 1988. 1986-1987 remains the only season I haven’t been to a Burnley game since 1961-62 ( ...

And a belated happy birthday from me, John. You’re only two years behind me now.
