I think beating Manchester United at the Turf in 2009 was a massive game, it was our first home game back in the top flight for 30 odd years, and we played brilliantly against the defending champions, at a time when Manchester United were a genuinely top team. The atmosphere was one of the best I'v...

Jan 2009 - Burnley 3 Spurs 2 (Carling Cup semi-final - agg 4-6)

An incredible evening, during an incredible season.

Was going to try Burnley kebabz the other night then found out it has a 2 star hygine rating

Ending the name in Z is an automatic, additional 2* deduction from me.

On a side note - surely it would make sense for the official fixture list for professional football (esp PL and Championship) to have a standard marker - indicating provisional dates and confirmed fixture dates. Make sure it's the same on Sky, BBC, PL, etc - and then nobody is in any doubt whatsoever.

Don't do donner but their mixed kebab is out of this world

If I'm at Tara, I'm having chicken tikka tangile bhaji - a dry, medium spiced curry, with onions, peppers and mushrooms. Delicious. Tulsi used to do something similar.

I will persevere - because it looks like the kind of thing I'd be interested in... it's just a difficult listen.

Whats the other options ?

Tara in Rosegrove is our main go-to - however, they're cash only

which means we can't always use them for delivery.
We like Aroma, too... it used to be quite expensive, but I think that most other takeaways have caught up now.

I just tried to listen on Youtube, in the background whilst doing some work. The audio mismatch between the host/guest makes it difficult to listen to. The host (I assume, from this one episode) audio is strong and clear, but the guest is dialling in whilst wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Tulsi used to the best kebabs in Burnley, since its shut i haven’t found a place half as good.

I mourn the loss of Tulsi. I have a couple of other good options, but Tulsi was

every time.

You have this wrong. They have a drainage pipe that runs from the ground to the river. It sits above the river normally, so drains easily. When the river rises, water can't runaway fast enough as the pipe is in it. It wouldn't take much to put something around the pipe to create space for the water...

It happened on 15 April 1989, unlikely to forget that one.

Just looked this up. I remember being on the Turf that day, but not the match itself.

We were beaten 1-0 by Darlington, whilst Rovers beat City 4-0.
How times change, as they say.

IOTW is lacking in real ales. Think it has bitter, Guiness and that's about it in addition to the usual lager and cider. IOTW is a great setting, but their beer selection is really disappointing.

A few interesting points here. Some people enjoy media production (whether that's for their own purposes or to post on Tiktok/Instagram) - and some really don't.

Closing after half time has been the case ever since I’ve been going on The Turf. Yes - I'm not aware that they've ever done anything different. I usually get a beer with my mate at half-time.

Curious whether there were major problems with ticketing access yesterday?

The other is that the solution is... just wait 20 minutes. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm only pointing this out, not advocating it. I'm not remotely convinced by replacing batteries on a daily(ish) basis.

Because they buy two scarves then use a sharp knife to cut the West Ham bits off, sew the Spurs bits together and ‘viola’ they’ve got in with a Spurs scarf. So I suspect it’s the knives they’re worried about. Some of the firms have been known to do this with a vertical bandsaw that they've managed ...

Beware the WLTP/quoted range of any vehicle. It's universally inaccurate in everyday use. They will have achieved that under lab conditions, somehow. My car has a quoted WLTP of 284 miles.

EV charging improves every year. As per my last post on here, from Jan 24 - I 'enjoyed' an EV between 2019-2022. It was troublesome in itself (battery issue causing 12 weeks in the garage.) And public charging in those early days was just horrendous. Motorway services were tied to Electric Highway (...

The majority of the fruit ones have no tea at all. It's practically a fruit juice with tapioca balls. We buy a bubble tea pack for my son who loves it... it has a tea bag - but the instructions suggest dipping it in boiling water for around 5 seconds. It's like the beverage version of homeopathy.

He's a convincing character act though, ill give him that. Putting him at early to mid 30's i'd have known him or been mate of a mates with him around manc comedy and it baffled me for a while that we'd never met

What? He's 19 years old!

I refuse to believe different.

I've had bubble tea a few times - most notably in Rosa's in Manchester.

In the words of Jim E Brown, it's quite nice. Tastes of tea, with... like... bubble things in it.

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.

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

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.

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

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...

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

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.
