I was pleased to see the signs, on either side of the Canal Bridge, as I drove along the road, formerly known as Yorkshire Street!

Well done. A fitting tribute.

Hummmm maybe .

Let's face it, John Bond Passage would be an improvement on anything with the word Yorkshire in it.

Don't remember seeing these Sunday but I had a couple of beers so maybe I did

Definitely there on Sunday.

I have every confidence that Afrasiab Anwar, as Leader of Burnley Borough Council is looking at a street naming in recognition of almost a decade of tremendous achievement.

It would be very apt, near his very own pub!

Perhaps it should be The Sean Dyche Way!

I got to “5, just five undefeated, 5 just 5 undefeated………”…….

The 6th just finished me off and I felt like *****

Is this official? My understanding is that the process of renaming roads and streets takes some time.

It does and I think there is a rule about naming a street after a living person. Gary Glitter St etc!

Street naming is the responsibility of the Local authority, Burnley Borough Council but Lancashire County Council would also have involvement as highway authority.
A proposal would be debated by the Councillors through a formal adoption process, and yes this would take several months.

That's been my thinking since I saw the post

If it was official, surely there would have been something in the local press

Most likely it's just some fan sticking a street sign up

Ive been led to believe the road name change was a big part of the contract settlement and why there was a period of radio silence between all parties after Dyche got the boot. It looks like Mr Pace has got the council to push it through and so the new street name is now official.

Its not showing on google maps yet but it is now showing on MapQuest though I think Mr Pace's brother in law is a CEO at that company so that might have something to do with it.

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea (or some just don't get it) but DA is one of my favourite posters

Same 95% of the time

Well done to those responsible for authorizing the name change so quickly.

The Engineers Dept at Burnley Council is full of Clarets!!

I believe that all those who live and/or have businesses on Yorkshire Street have be consulted, and agree, prior to a name change.
Harry Potts' Way was straightforward as Burnley Football Club is the only postal address on that section of Brunshaw Road.

Just to be clear....
The signs are placed by a fan(s). They are not an authorised change of name.

That is indeed a process of consultation, following a representation.

I suspect you do have to be dead as well, although not certain. It is advisable, just in case.

My wife has a road named after her. She was made aware of the proposal, just before she died, so she was happy about the recognition. Most never know.

I think there has to be agreement from everyone who has property on the street/road. It was easy with Harry Potts Way because there was only the football club and the bookies but that took some months.

I think I read it could cost the council over a million quid to change a main street name when the council were looking at changing one for Jimmy Anderson.

I could have made that figure up though. But it's a lot of hassle and costly.

My Dad has a street named after him in Barrowford, and it was done long before he passed away. Perhaps they got away with it by removing the space between his first name and surname?

I don't think there has to be an agreement, although you do need to at least give the impression of a consultation. There's a controversial street renaming going on near me where 70% of residents were opposed to it.

I think costs were estimated at a few hundred thousand pound.

I have lots of roads named after me in many towns and cities across the land.

Kind regards,

Mr Park

Surely we name one after James Anderson before Sean Dyche.

Not as many as Mr High!

There is a street in Todmorden which bears my name - Christian and surname with a space in between - and my dad took me to see it many, many years ago. It's my nearest, (only), claim to fame.

There’s Alan Shearer Way in Blackburn near Ewood Park There’s also a housing estate nearby where the streets allude to the 1995 squad.

For me, Sean Dyche Way is a nice way of showing gratitude from the fans for a few weeks unofficially, but he could be manager of Blackburn Rovers next season, or he might replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle and relegate us in a few weeks time. Football is a funny game.

I’d give it a few years first before naming streets and so on.
