According to the Burnley Express the club have applied to build a 168 seater stand down at Gawthorpe.

Won't be long before someone comes along to complain about it not being a 170 seater stand.

Another forum I'm on has made everything inaccessible if you're not logged in because the load from bots was getting too much.

You don't have to go that far. Site techies/admin can block Googlebots and other web crawlers/scalpers while keeping the site open to lurkers.

but you can absolutely see how they’ve ended up with the sentences they got. Exactly. It wasn't just a tree. Oh, and as for those who mentioned crimes against people - I'm all for tougher sentencing for crimes against adults and children, especially sexual and violent. Some of the sentencing no way...

Clovius Boofus

I reckoned on 5 years. Anyway, they were always going to get a sentence that would discourage other like-minded dickheads. If they had been given a none-custodial sentence, we'd quickly have other mindless idiots cutting down iconic trees and posting videos on social media in order to revel in their...

Aye, 10 year deal. 10 years of advertising on a global scale.

Live music is for all generations, regardless of when bands first made their breakthrough. Go to any festival or gig, rock, punk alt-rock, grunge right through to Indie, and you'll see loads of young people watching bands that were around long before they were born, and thing is, they know their stu...

He's right. Most people wouldn't be arsed about watching Burnley v Bournemouth, and you know what, I really couldn't give a shite.

Madness, all playoff finals free. What planet are they on

Not grown up politics, is it. They sound like they have never moved on from the students union. Pathetic.

Clovius Boofus

The latest venture is calling me 'mate', 'Bro (bruh, for some reason)' or 'fam'. 'Please can I have £75 for my driving lesson bruh' was today's request. I'm chilled enough to find it all funny and laugh along with them, they're great kids to be fair, but I dread to think what my old man would have ...

Posted on wrong thread.

TV companies would have overturned this at the high court. Typical gesture politics by the Lib Dems. By the way, I'm no fan of Labour either, but it's not hard to figure out why they and others rejected this.

As a 48-year old Father of a 17 and a 14 year old, if I so much as use anything approaching a phrase that frames me as trying to be 'down with the kids' I'm shot down in a hail of shouts of 'Boomer', 'Sad Old Man' and 'What kind of fresh hell was that?!?!' from those two and this falls entirely int...

I'm surprised there's been no press releases for over 12 months. By the way, I'm not being overly critical, and I wish them well, but it would be good to know what's going on.

Clovius Boofus

What are these 'exciting plans'? I'm surprised they aren't shouting about them from the rooftops, because this is what usually happens when there are plans to redevelop buildings located on prominent gateway sites.

Clovius Boofus

I'm just glad he's here. I'm not going to ponder upon the finances of the deal, after all, it's very unlikely I'm ever going to be privy to the stuff that goes on behind closed doors. Besides, that's for the club's bean counters, not me, so why bother. I'm happy we've signed him, and that's all ther...

Sounds grim. Fish & chips, when they're done right, it is the food of the gods. When done badly - they're only fit for the bin. They are too expensive these days to not be bob-on. A consistently good chippy in Burnley, say one like Kay's in Cleveleys, would have people queuing around the block. Not ...

I would prefer natural images (landscapes, native flora and fauna) rather than people or buildings.

Maybe a picture of a Dogdirt God tree shrine?

Kelbrook was probably the best chippy for a while but it closed for a while. Flaxmoss chippy in Helmshore is quite nice but they are all so hit-and-miss these days. Kelbrook was the best for miles. I've had fish & chips in most of the places mentioned on here, and just when you think you've found a...

Can the transfer oddballs stick to the other thread to have their petty arguments and leave the “links” thread for those of us who’ve no interest in reading their squabbles?

Well said.

Just as the whistle was about to go. The Spanish winger slid in recklessly on Liveramento. Liveramento reacted and they squared up. Spain had nothing to lose and were out of the competition so were able to be quite aggressively chasing confrontation. I think Cresswell and a few others were sticking...

Poor do when people can't hold their hand up and say 'you know what, I was wrong'. Instead, they dig a deeper hole for themselves, and it isn't a good look.

Looks like he’s been through it. The club have obviously respected his wishes not to go public which is great. We need to move on and get behind him now.

I hope some people on here and elsewhere hang their heads in shame.

End of conversations? Can't get a word in edge ways when I meet up with family and friends. Also, go in a decent locals pub, and you'll still see people chatting away to each other. Go out for a walk - even strangers pass more than the time of day with each other. Maybe it's a case of people wanting...

High chance you’d get stung with dynamic pricing charges coming away from arena though. I once got an Uber to Leeds festival which advertised it as £40 and it turned in to £96 due to dynamic pricing.

Pre-book using Uber Reserve.

The biggest child is the owner. Take a look at his latest hissy fit. There was only going to be one winner there, and it sure wasn't going to be Musk. Soon backed down when faced with reality. Money isn't everything when you are up against the leader of the main superpower.

Now it might be a good thing to have people with experience involved, I wouldn't disagree with that, but in my opinion, and that's all it is, it shouldn't be called independent. No biggie.

Then why even bother with the quibble?

Clovius Boofus

Some of the criticism the club receives is no doubt justified, but by heck, some people don't half do some bottom of the barrel scraping. It's like they can't wait to stick both boots in. They get so giddy in their rush pour scorn, that they don't even bother to fully equate themselves with what the...

His lifestyle drew the press towards him, but there's no excuse for the invasion of privacy, especially the illegal phone hacking. Every victim suspected those closest to them.

I agree. Global event - two toilet cubicles closed for a couple of days, and nobody involved at high-level stadium security thought about checking them for explosives, etc.

When I was an apprentice I was mentored by a brilliant bloke - one of the best.

A few weeks ago, an elderly bloke told me about a narrow escape he had while walking in Towneley Park. Apparently, some kids were speeding about in a car like ****. He said he might not have managed to move away in time if he hadn't heard the tyres screeching.

Someone told me that Spoons buy up barrels of ale that are near their use by date so get them a lot cheaper and get through them faster because of the cheap prices to the customers. It's a myth.
