Chippy.

Either fish, chips and curry - or steak pudding, chips, peas and gravy.

Do you know who I am? It's Colin. Colin Allen.

ngl - I'm still not 100% sure that Just Colin or Colin Allen weren't some of our summer signings.

I clicked the link and was watching on low volume in the office... so reading subtitles. it took me a few head scratches to work out what happened when "Just Colin" scored..

You can usually find many similar images quickly after each match on Getty Editorial. Mainly watermarked, and read the licence docs if you're tempted to use them.

2-3 months I think. They aren't changing the airport or railway stores though. One of the most bizarre (in my eyes) re-brands of recent years.

His name was being sung for almost 4 hours non-stop on the coach back from Spurs (and without pause in Norton Canes services)... so you'd think that he had been an ever-present so far

the regen braking would take a lot of getting used My car has pretty robust regen (you can run in D or B modes - the latter being closer to one pedal driving).

Can’t see them doing anything like this for us

For a start they wouldn’t allow 7000 of us to attend

The artwork looks more like a BCFC job, than something produced by Rovers.
But as it is a ‘welcome’ sign, you’d assume it’s from the home team.
Strange.

The purchaser might not know the email addresses. I buy ours so they are all in my friends and family but that doesn't record the email addresses. The big problem here is waiting until three days before the game to send them out. Yes - agreed. By confirm - I mean "verify" rather than type into the ...

iOS 26 (for iPhone in September) supposedly has this built in.
I haven't been using the beta this time, but it's been on/off for users - but I expect it to be available soon enough. A huge win.

As I said above, screenshotting will do nothing. It is not a QR code it is contactless. You will have to tap your phone

Yeah, I should have expanded - the screenshot offers some 'backup' if you need to raise a query/concern (it only has seat details, no transaction) but won't gain admittance

Leon_C

This doesn't impact me, but it could be problematic for some. I think the ticketing platform should ask the purchaser to confirm the email addresses for recipients prior to placing the order. Discovering that a registered email address is wrong/compromised 2 working days before the match doesn't lea...

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? On iPhone, you click the link, and it opens the ticket. You have to select "Add" in top right for it to be added to the wallet. Probably wo...

Went today. Wow that Typhoon is something else. It was followed by the Battle of Britain flight which looked like it was barely moving in comparison to. It got me thinking that if 80 years is the difference between the Typhoon and Spitfire imagine what the fighter jets will look like in another 80 ...

Was that after being caught a few times Leon_C? Surely they wouldn’t issue a ban for one incident.

I'm not 100% sure, Tony. I saw a copy of the letter from the club though.

Leon_C

I personally know of somebody (a ST holder) who received a ban of 2-3 games recently after being caught vaping on CCTV.
The club do take this seriously.

Leon_C

I think the main safety challenges are mitigated by the (easy) on-pitch access. In the event of an incident, the safest route is likely to be straight onto the pitch rather than into an enclosed concourse?

Hi Leon, whereabouts is that parking? On the main road towards St Anne's? Thinking of heading over tomorrow. Cheers. Ah sorry, just seen this Transpennine... this may be too late.. but just in case. https://maps.app.goo.gl/EeeskU6BS7QKksnr7 First left after the airport - I think it's called Hopwood...

I know home fans always had one exit in the stand and with all change over we still got one exit in stand

Isn't there a side exit, by the Bob Lord Stand? The 'main' exits are B, C, D. So - is A a side exit or was it the exit into the players tunnel which has now seemingly been filled in?

Leon_C

I sat above them, at the 'end' of the Longside Upper. They were entertaining and passionate.
They definitely added to the flavour of the match. I wonder how many of them are UK-based, and how many travelled over?

Off topic, but why do/did they always state the team colours in programmes and, in this case, team sheets? I can’t imagine anyone turning up to this game and wondering which team was which. I imagine that it's for the referee's benefit? (Also any media that might be present.) Fans know of course, b...

Snoop with a Burnley shirt was something to do with him using recording equipment from a firm near here IIRC.

That's right - his studio uses equipment from AMS Neve. (They're an incredible firm - I'd Google them if you're interested in some of Burnley's finest exports.)

I was discussing this last night with someone - I travel to away games and just wander round the place and mingle with home fans. It's how it should be too. Yes, for anything other than the Rovers match, we only see basic separation of the away fans. That in itself is because of the coaches queued ...

None of them are proper chippys, they all serve kebabs and takeaway food. The fish and chips are awful.

I enjoy Ightenhill Fish Bar - despite having been hugely sceptical (of a kebab shop/chippy hybrid) when it opened. Never had any complaints at all.

Thanks Leon. I understood it to be £20m over 10 years, about £2m per year. Is that incorrect? £1m a year over 20 years would barely touch the sides. Out of interest, what do you mean by: “only a small part of that bigger puzzle”. Is there something more significant at play? My mistake - yes 10 year...

You’d think that he would make some sort of statement, I.e. “Thanks for the memories”, or something of that ilk. I don't think that's necessary within a few hours of the contract expiring. I'm certain that an outgoing club captain would, when the time is right, and when an exit is confirmed, issue ...

I get that when I use my VPN.

Poor, from the actual ticketing platform (it's not actually BFC who provide the tech, of course).
Thousands of people will use VPNs - and this warning is just vague. It should, by default, point out that they don't support VPNs - if that is, indeed the case.

Very glib way of looking at it. On the other hand, it means far fewer trips to the supermarket, the portion sizes reduce a lot of waste (i.e. they only send the amount you need to make the number of portions you select), and it's a good timesaver for those who don't have much of it. You could say h...
