Ok over new year I got thinking about events in the last decade and decided to make some predictions on possible (and more than probable) events for the coming decade. Feel free to add to it. I've tried to keep them realistic.

1. Might be an obvious one but we will see a new monarch.

2. The E.U will collapse.

3. There will be another world war

4. The decline of Facebook.

5. Everything will become on demand/streamed with TV channels becoming obsolete.

1/. We will have a Tory government for the next ten years.

2/. The EU will collapse.

3/. There will be a conflict in the Middle East

4/. Fuel prices will hit £3 per litre.

5/. Rolls Royce Aero engine company will have gone bust.

6/. Climate change will be accepted as a thing,

1/ there will be another world war.
2/
3/
4/
5/.

Have you told Warren this?

We’re already in a world war - WWIII - the (dis)information war. Fake news created to justify attacks and violence.

I think gandhisflipflop has it fairly close to be honest... missing one thing.

The collapse of the top clubs in the premier league as a result of the investigation into financial corruption means that Burnley, a club not affected by the fallout, are crowned champions of England 3 times in a row along with 2 FA Cup victories.

Nothing.

It will be just as boring as the last one.

Well apparently there’s a bloody big asteroid that’s gonna pass us by in 10 years that will be so close on its fly by that it will either provide some nice entertainment or, if it’s course is deflected only slightly, it will pretty much put an end to any chance of Burnley being PL champions. According to some sources it doesn’t even need a deflection.
So folks make the most of the time you have left and let’s all try to get on...it would be rather nice.

In case anyone is wondering how close it’s said to be inside the orbit of the moon which in astronomical terms isn’t even a gnats todger.

It will be 10 years long.

1. I will get divorced
2. I will meet a rich woman
3. I will marry her and be her gigolo
4. I will divorce her
5. I will have half her money
6 I will live the life of a playboy in Monte Carlo

Looking forward to the next decade

1 There will not be a World War in the sense of WW I & II
2 Elon Musk will have his satellites in place and a new internet platform will become the leader in IT
3 BFC will change it's transfer policy to include international players we've never heard of. But only after relegation & the dawn of the golden age for BFC begins
4 BFC will knock down a Stand and build another one, people will moan about it
5 Electric cars/vehicles will grow expedentially
6 More cities in the world will ban any fossil fuel vehicle from entering, except China and India
7 Trump will be reelected
8 The family will have to live off retirement income, scary thought
9 I wont be marrying Karatekid
10 The EU will survive
11 Fuel prices will never go above 3GBP during the next decade

A lot of us on here won't see another one

Frightening.

I have been to a Q and A with him in the last 3 months we had a to sign an NDA so no comments on that here.

This prediction is my personal opinion only!

A small percentage of Burnley fans using high speed message boards continue to believe they are the chosen ones and their word is the word of Burnley fans worldwide.

Meanwhile Burnley Football Club continue to ply their trade in the top 2 tiers of English football, defying the odds.

With all of their traditional near neighbours being wound up by HMRC over the decade, it has left them as the sole representative in the North West outside of Manchester and Liverpool.

The next decade will see if they need to add to the 50,000 capacity Turf Moor to accommodate the influx of fans from Bolton, Wigan, Preston, Bury and Blackpool.

I am informed by the office geeks, there isn’t enough Cobalt in the world to provide batteries for the total UK requirements let alone the worlds.
Some new tech needed if that’s the case.

Elon Musk will solve this problem, maybe I should have clarified in my electric cars prediction

No, silly. They'll grow out of your feet.

1. Mass extinctions of animal species including Orangutan, Tiger and African elephant.
2. Polar ice caps melted.
3. Privatised NHS apart from for the poor.
4. No go areas in UK cities.
5. United Ireland and independent Scotland
6. 50% of English clubs go bust
7. Premier league gives way to Euro league.
8. Fox hunting back.
9. Pension age increased to 75.

1, most illnesses curable with genetic medicine
2, extremely fast growing trees developed to fight climate change and to reforest areas.
3, middle east war
4, man on Mars
5, alian radio signals detected.

1. Jack Cork announces his retirement from Burnley’s midfield
2. A replacement is signed from Stoke City
3. The club record transfer fee remains unbroken

He died on that comet thing didn't he, I remember Liv Tyler crying as the atomic device went off. Bruce is no use to us but I think the Avengers will save us. The Hulk will punch it out of orbit.

Maybe if the asteroid comes before the aliens then Flash Gordon will have time to save us?

If your first one comes true we will all die from starvation because of over population. Your third one is a given because it feels like it always has been.

A man on Mars would be nice if they can find anyone who wants to live in a tin can for a couple of years. Besides if your first one comes true we will need Mars for the extra space. Then the Americans and Russians will start a war over who Mars belongs to and while they are fighting the Israelies will steal it from under them and set up settlements. Then the Palestinians will claim it's theirs by right. The Muslims will claim it for Allah and start bombing people because the infidel has stolen it. The far right Christian movement will declare it part of heaven so therefore it must belong to them and the Buddhists will say...who cares, it's all imaginary anyway.

Looked at this way it makes you realise that, no matter where in the universe we are the human race will never bloody agree on anything.

Best leave Mars alone I think.

Gordon is serving a long term prison sentence for wearing dubious raincoats and lurking in public parks.

Every TV programme will feature either Gregg Wallace or Bradley Walsh, TV cooking programmes will feature solely on vegetarian recipes, Soccer Saturday will replace Jeff Stelling with Sue Smith, half of the contestants in the World Championship of darts will be female.

Makes a refreshing change to read such an optimistic thread on here.

The Park View will remain in it's current state,at the end of the decade it will become a KFC.

The traditional Sunday Roast becomes a Nut Roast, The Big Mac made entirely from lentils rivals Gregg's veggie sausage rolls, British dairy farmers seen only on BBC Countryfile as consumers switch to nut based milks, legislation introduced to ensure 50% of all MP's are women, Britain intensifies carbon emissions programme following another summer of forest fires, an end to football club sponsorship by gambling companies, 4 day Test matches against all bar Australia and India and the Grand National scrapped.

More likey a freddys

1. Electric vehicles sales will increase by at least 10% a year.
2. Government will suddenly realise that they do not have the power generation capacity for all these electric cars and whilst there will be advances in renewable energy, they will be forced to go back to nuclear power.
3. M&S & Sainsbury's will merge to stay in business.
4. Scotland will gain independence from the rest of the UK and will join the E.U.
5. The Euro will disappear as a currency.
6. Climate change will cause famines in Africa and South Africa will suffer major food shortages for the 1st time in its' history.
7. Scotland will require IMF support to balance their widening trade imbalance.
8. Germany will leave the E.U.

We really need to look at birth number control and euthanasia. There will be an additional 2billion people by the end of this century (caused by living longer).

We already have many old people (usually with serious illnesses) begging for the right to die when they chose. I suspect the laws will change.

Personally, I don’t want to end up living in a nursing home, living a life that resembles Groundhog Day.

"living a life that resembles Groundhog Day"


What? Like scanning the threads on the Bee Hole End forum every day you mean?

I don't suppose anyone saw this coming

The world as we know it will end as we all live in bubbles...drive bubble cars and everyone will support West Ham......life will be one long having a bubble

Deaths and more deaths

Only one......

Mesut Ozil to be headline news on Sky Sports for the entire decade

All I’ll say is I’m glad I dont share the negative views of some on here, it’s must be painful living in that sort of world.

World War? Come off it with today’s technology it would benefit nobody, any future war would likely be cyber attacks not missiles

1/ Burnley will be awarded their first penalty of the decade.
2/ It will be overturned by VAR

Another very large issue, is this .

A friend of mine just bought an electric car, they came to install the 7.5 Kw charger you need and did a survey of his estate, built 20 years ago here in Burnley. They told him it was ok for him to have a charger installed but the grid could only take possibly 1 more on his estate. The whole national grid needs to be replaced for us to have more electric cars.

Norway who have taken them up in large numbers, electric sales beat internal combustion engine sale last year. They have queues waiting for chargers to become available.

Humans will visit the moon again and be closer to getting to Mars.

The restaurant/fast food chain Nine Guys will be renamed Eight Guys as one of the guys decides he wants to identify as a McChicken Sandwich.
