Thanks Hipper, I will give it a try, but will first ask my neighbour to oversee my effort.

Re photos on PCs. How does anyone load a photo onto a computer?.

I sit in the Bob Lord and a few seats were empty around me. I know that some were on family holidays abroad and others were staying out of the area with family for Xmas. Before critics jump in, 1 travels from the Peterborough area, for ALL matches and another comes to games from near Workington. Sit...

Tricky Trevor, Everton were refused entry into the LFA cup in 1886, as their team was not able to show proof of their ability, to play at the level expected. When they did gain entry, they didn’t play their first team players, which was the rule. They failed to compete in some ties and withdrew from...

Royboyclaret, I’m searching my records and as of now, I’m unable to establish IF we did play a Semi Final. The Lancs Cup, as it was known at the start date of the competition in 1879, was initially played for by 40 teams. The LFA being formed in 1878. In the first final played between Bbn Rovers and...

Ian McL, Rowan Trees berries are a favourite berry of the winter visiting Waxwing bird. They're a very colourful bird. Now that's good luck seeing them in your garden.

Make sure there are no sewer pipes near where anyone's planting any tree. The danger of roots breaking the pipes as they grow, could lead to a lot of expense, when sewerage backs up and they've to be dug up and replaced. Same thing could happen when trees are planted close to concrete/Tarmac drives,...

I met Mike after he had left Burnley, I think it was when he was a Fulham player. He was telling me he’d not collected anything from his Burnley days. I’d a lot of spare programmes in games he’d featured, so I bundled a carrier bag full and took them to our Fulham away match. A message was passed to...

CTID, I’m proud to say, I was at everyone of the games your Dad scored those goals.

I’ve a signed postcard team photo of the 1947 team. All signed in pen and ink, except Kippax, who signed it with a biro pen, which were very rare in that era.

There was an undercover tv programme covering this at Boohoo a few years ago. I knew the whistleblower, who left the job, when he’d reported Boohoo.

Top Claret, I was in the same class at school as Terry (Eason), one of the nicest people you’d ever meet and always had a smile on his face. He was a keen Burnley supporter and sponsor. I think your being unkind, saying he sold players clapped out BMW cars. Sadly Terry is no longer here to fight his...

Re the winning of a (Hillman Avenger) car in the draw. This took place in the Centre Spot yearly. Someone from the audience drew the winning ticket from a drum similar to the OP pic and handed the ticket to Jack Butterfield, who used to have a clipboard in his hand. He then read out the winning tick...

The lottery side of funding for the Club was run by Jack Butterfield, who was later joined on the staff with his son Geoff. Around the time Bill Reid was Jacks No 2, who took over the post when Jack followed Adamson to Sunderland as their Commercial manager.

The Fred mentioned above was Fred Corless. I think he sold more weekly tickets than anyone and had a good commission from his sales. Seemed to recall he lived over the Clowbridge area.

The man on the right is Ross Howart, who worked in the Development office at the Turf and a decent footballer. I don’t know the man on the left, whose making the draw. Those days they had a lot of agents collecting from customers and taking their weekly collection to the ticket office, which would b...

John Francis came round to my house for a catch up, before he went to the ground. Looking very well and now working in a football role in Ilkley. He was meant to come back after the match, but the police sent him away from the ground, so ended up heading home on the M62.

The 1% leaving early were all the Rovers fans.

I played a few games of Don (4 player card game) against Stan Ternent last week and got beat. If you don’t get the cards, you’ve no chance.

I put 11 Reds, but it was 10.

Is this a record number of sendings off in a game, which was played in Argentina. 2 Boca and 1 Racing player were sent off between the 95 and 97th minute of added on time. In extra time, in 20 minute spell 4 of the Boca team received straight Reds and 2 more for 2nd Yellows. Plus 2 more Racing playe...

pushinpussy, so you said,” your brother and his 7 year old son drive up from Berkshire for EVERY game and you’ve never known them leave early”

. With the number of mid week matches we have had, your Nephew must have had quite a few days off school. Such a caring Father is your brother.

pushinpussy, I was one of the people who left 2 minutes before the end. 3 weeks today I was on an operating table having my arm separated from my body, for a surgeon to saw through my arm/shoulder ball and socket joints and replace them with a metal ball and socket. 2 days after the Op I attended th...

My comments were from Stan himself and we’ve been having a pint together today..

Stan had gone to scout another player, when saw Robertson playing and recommended him to Hull. He also did quite a bit of scouting abroad, watching players, sometimes in 3 different countries, each trip.

Another danger for players safety is the brick box tv camera near the centre of the half way line. Players in the past have ended up inside it, after failing to stop their run. I dread to think of the serious harm it could do, if a players body collided with it. Laying plastic grass around the lower...

As was said in a previous post on this topic, do a room measurement so you have an idea of the kilowatt size of fire appropriate for the room. But If you have thoughts about being capable of saving money, by taking out your own brickwork to install a stove, theirs likely to be 30cm brick pillars to ...

In the early 60s a bloke called George, I think his surname was Heywood had stood under the Culvert for years. He always seemed to have a fag hanging in the corner of his mouth and his hands were Black from the still damp print ink. Someone else used to walk around the Lyndhurst Rd area above the gr...

My thoughts are, Barry Kirby only printed gambling cards for others to reap the profit from. I stand corrected, if I’m wrong.

atlantalad, my friend had removed his driving license from his wallet, before leaving home, as he felt it better, in case his wallet was lost/stolen. 3 Clarets travelling with him, were gutted for him.

Neither can a Dublin friend of mine. He rung me an hour ago to tell me he got to security at Dublin airport and realised he'd left his passport at home. Wasted fare and match ticket.

A reason that Jimmy Robson was not on the photos, maybe because, he had been selected for the FA 11 to play Spurs in the Charity Sheild match at White Hart Lane, as they had done the double. Which was played before the start of the season.

Colin Williamson, played for the early Ex Clarets team, involving the likes of Reg Kirkham, Gordon Haigh and Jack Butterfield. Some may remember him running a Post Office in Nelson. The last time I met him for a chat was when he brought his close friend and ex Claret Fred Smith to a group meeting, w...

W&H Talbot was father Howard and son Wally, who were full time sport photographers. Many of his photos were produced in lots of newspapers.

I think the Claretgeorgina original pic is of the pre season 1961 teams squads. Not included are Willie Morgan was still an amateur until October and Dave Merrington, who didn’t turn pro until 1962. Joe Brown had just joined the Club, to become the 3rd/youth team coach at the start of that season

Royboyclaret, sorry to say, I don’t think No 1 is Scott. Scott looks older and has dark hair, combed back. Re my call of No 9 being D Merrington?, I’ve reviewed another photo and suggest it’s actually J Auchie.

Bfc

Looking at the Oldham team photo, it includes Alan Shackleton, who played for us mid to late fifties. 2 others are Jimmy Frizzel who went onto manage Oldham for some years and I think Greaves who later managed Bolton.

Thanks Hipper, I will look into your advice. But not until early next month, as I’ve commitments until then and I’ve found a selection of photos to show.

Tricky Trevor, I just log in and write my comments. No idea about pasting your question to put here, or putting a like. I'm in my mid 70s and live on my own.

Tricky Trevor, I have no idea about how to use computers and similar technology and It frustrates me trying. My brains are in my hands. I could get someone who will show me what I should do.

As pointed out by FCBurnley, Billy Dougal and George Bray are correct. Re adding a selection of team photos. I have lots going back to over 100 years ago.

The information I gave of the date 1962-63 was what I found on the same photo,in a paperback book produced by the Lancs Telegraph. I've a lot of team photos over many years, but I'm unable, as yet to find anything containing the blank players names.
