If more than the 54,775, had turned up for the game, then the attendance would’ve been higher. It was not the capacity at the time.

Add that a Burnley managers wife, to my comment.

Bfc

Big Gaz, that is in bad taste, not a takeaway food pun. To take the mik out of someone trying to set light to anyone is bad enough, but knowing it’s a then Burnley manager is bang out of order.

Is the last 1, the player sat down, one of Ralph Coates?. They’re all very good. Thanks for posting them Rowls.

Re a flat sheet metal roof, my neighbour has one, which creates a lot condensation and drips down, when it gets cold. Not ideal if you store things in the garage. You maybe better off reading up on this problem, for a solution, or an alternative roof type.

A friend of mine went to see him in Milan?/Italy, this week.

Would they get ticket priority over shareholders?.

Ct re you comment that said you’d already referred to having put info about the social club in your earlier post. Your comment was “it was in town”. My post pointed out the actual location of it, as it may have revived memories for readers.

Seeing Rovers being kicked out of the Football League and their ground turned into scrap yard.

mdd2, I correctly put in my post who is next right to McDonald. My comment re the original ex Clarets was referring to them, as setting it up and raising money for local charities. The mainstays were Jack Butterfield and Reg Kirkham. Jack was the social secretary at Lucas, which in the 60s was a big...

This is the original Ex Clarets players, who played their charity matches at Lucas Sports ground at Reedley. Top left is Bill Dodds and Michael Hennigan to the right of McDonald.

Has anyone any recommendations for the best site to use, for selling some of my selection of signed Burnley shirts. Including Ings and Vokes Poppy Day and an unsigned McCann one. Ian Wright and Jay Rodriguez.

The only way it wouldn’t be recognisable, is by pulling it down.

His looks remind me of the bloke who did the Go Compare TV advert, without his moustache and just as annoying.

Bullabill, I was lucky to meet and chat to either the daughter, or granddaughter of Abel Hudson, who was the head groundsman and Tommy was his assistant. I wrote about this, in a post on here some time ago, as I have a paper cutting article about his retirement. The article included information of h...

Bfc

How do you recall all the key moments of each game. IE what players are involved in the goal build up actions/ incidents. Or do you memorise them mentally, or maybe write notes of them during the game?

Bfc

Bullabill, re Tommy Danns pitchfork. I have the said well worn pitchfork. When Tommy retired, it was then used by his assistant, who became head groundsman John Jameson. John gave it me, when I worked at the Club 50 years ago and saw it in use. So I know it’s authentic. An unusual piece of Turf Moor...

There’s a Care Home in your area, appealing for help in finding this person Tribesman.

Hats off to NewClaret and Chester Perry for their informative knowledge on the topic.

I’d a similar experience to Quickenthetempo, pre match at the Norwich game, when ordering 3 different drinks in the concourse bar under the Bob Lord stand. There were 2 people serving in the bar. A young lady served us and put the bill amount into the machine, which I paid. The problem was the Pirre...

The gate is given as 1060 below the capacity. Given the clamour for tickets and non attending Season Ticket holders, being counted in that attendance, I find it strange it wasn’t a full house. Shef Utd seemed to have taken their full allocation up. Unless the seats in the gap dividing the sets of su...

I’ve just seen the AlGreen poster above, so its maybe you Les is going to meet?

FAO Silkyskills1, re Les Dearden. I took him on the match with me yesterday, when he told me, he is going over to meet up with an old Helmshore friend Bill? Green. If you know the man, maybe you could get in touch and also have a catch up with him. Les is flying back to Cape Town on Saturday, the da...

Re the Ribble Club, a blind eye was turned to the after time drinking there, by the Police, until a new either Inspector or Superintendent took up his position in the Station. From his window he had noted the amount of drinking after time and ordered a crackdown on it. He was told as so many known c...

Other than match days, the flag was raised to half mast, when a player had died.

Re Les Dearden and Benny. Les for family reasons has had to fly over from his Cape Town home twice in 6 weeks and I’m picking him up at the airport again on Monday. Les managed to get on the WBA game and had looked out for Benny before the match and again at half time. I’d warned Les, Benny looked I...

I wish him all the best in his recovery. He’d the big powerful thighs and would have put most footballers thighs to shame. His reminded me of Alex Elders thighs.

Row x Highway Code Rule 243 states “ you must not park where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles”.

Bfc

Thanks Bordeauxclaret. Rowx I hadn’t made it up, maybe got the team wrong, he played for, but the rest is true.

Bfc

Roux, he’s selling ice creams from it. Either way he’s breaking the law. I reported it last season, but no action seems to have been taken then.

Bfc

I seem to remember him playing for us in reserve game on the Turf. At half time he sat on the steps of the players tunnel and smoked a cigarette.

Bfc

The biggest culprit of parking over dropped kerbs is the ice cream van situated on the corner of Brunshaw Rd and Higgin St opp Park View, every match. To make sure he gets the spot a car is parked over it, then moved, for the van to take over. That dropped kerb is likely to be most needed around the...

Re the Albion Mill and the chance we could have been named Burnley Albion. We couldn’t have been. The Albion Mill wasn’t built until 1890, 2 years after we had joined the Football League.

elwaclaret, before we permanently moved to Turf Moor, we played our games at Calder Vale. I have tried to find the exact site of the playing field through different methods, but was never able to pin it down. Burnley Cricket Club had taken note of the income generated from football crowds watching t...

Some of the responses are totally in accurate. Floodlight switching on after the 1914 cup final?. They were switched on officially for a friendly game v Bstds in the mid fifties and No the Queen wasn’t there. Pre 1900 their was a form of lighting up the field of play, when 50 gallon drums, filled wi...

My mate told me he’d been rushed back into Blackpool Victoria Hospital at midnight on Friday. After some sleep, he went into bathroom and had wash and changed into his Burnley T shirt. On his return to the 4 bed ward, one of the patients asked him, if he is a Claret, his thought was, he’s going to a...

The late fixture change will cost the Dublin Clarets a lot of money. They book their flights in advance, in order to get cheaper deals. Now they will lose that money. The closer they are to booking for a match day, the more the flights cost. Plus they then have overnight accommodation costs to add.

Bfc

Sam sits very close to me in the Bob Lord. Very modest and just blends in with the crowd.

Bfc

He and all his family are big Burnley fans. Due to his work and dancing training, he’s not been on many matches this season. No doubt he will be back in his usual seat, maybe on Tuesday.

Bfc

Hutchy, you forgot to mention Watford also had a world famous well known owner in Elton John, who like the Venky’s was pouring money into the Club. They could go for the bstds women’s team manager next. Oh dear, they’ve also lost today at Charlton.

I was left wondering why there was only 3 minutes added on time. In the 2nd half there were 8 substitutions, 3 bookings, play stopped for player injury treatment and 1 goal in normal time. My own prediction before the board went up, was for a minimum 5 mins.

I received a Tel call at 4pm Friday, from my Norwegian friend. Saying 2 supporters had travelled over from Norway, for the Friday night game.
