Lancs League 2/6

[Somethingfishy]

House at home to Church
House are 130/1 at drinks Ben Heap making 56 and is the man out.

[Somethingfishy]

Tom Walker 50 from 43 balls. House 156/1 from 29. Church attack is woeful.

[bfcmik]

House 151/1 after 29. Watching it live on YouTube.

Ex Claret Alex Coleman one of the men out.

[Somethingfishy]

House finish on 325/3

[ClaretTony]

Has Longden 133 all out v Burnley

That’s a hell of a score for Lowerhouse.

Has Longden 133 all out v Burnley

That’s a hell of a score for Lowerhouse.

Third highest in their history and the biggest without anyone getting a century. The top 4 all made 50s though. Pro 86no i think.

House finish on 325/3

Church short of bowlers today ?

[Somethingfishy]

Church short of bowlers today ?

Very poor. Help yourself stuff. Fielding questionable too.

[Clarets4me]

Church actually started well, got to 106 without loss just past halfway, only to fall to 110/3 ...
They're currently 182/9, with two overs left.

[bfcmik]

House win by 142 runs. Church made 183 a.o.

[bfcmik]

Good day for the pro, 87 not out and 6-28.

[Clarets4me]

Lowerhouse win by 142 runs, bowling Church out for 183 ...

[bfcmik]

Very tight at Haslingden with Burnley 122-9 chasing 133 to win, 3 overs left

[bfcmik]

Burnley lose by 8 runs

Burnley lose by 8 runs

Sorry, misread the info page. Not yet all out but 7 needed from 4 balls

[GetIntoEm]

Dan is hell of a pro

[bfcmik]

Burnley tie 133/9 v Haslingden 133 a.o

[ClaretTony]

Burnley lose by 8 runs

Burnley tied their game at Haslingden

[FCBurnley]

Amazing fight back back the tail

[FCBurnley]

9 points for Burnley

[ClaretTony]

9 points for Burnley

It would have been seven points had they lost but it’s seven for the tie and two for bowling Hassy out.

[FCBurnley]

Burnley lose by 8 runs

Wishful thinking ?

[ClaretTony]

Strange finish at Haslingden. Looked as though Burnley had lost by two runs as they all set off to leave the pitch, all except the two Burnley batsmen who knew there had been a no ball.

Some delay but the no ball was then added to the score leaving Burnley one run behind and they finished with a single off that final ball.

Must have been a difficult wicket, very few boundaries in the game.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Rawtenstall lose again by 27 runs away to Rammy despite another century from the pro.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Good day for the pro, 87 not out and 6-28.

Which one?

[dsr]

And another win for the mighty Colne, beat Bacup by 2 wickets after the ninth pair (Walker and Tillotson) put on about 30.

[Bigbopper]

UTH

[Blue Skies]

Looks like Burnley's demise has begun. Only nine points today. At least the batsmen knew what was going on to get the tie!!

Yup. We know we are in trouble when we are only 30 points ahead of the mighty House.

[dsr]

Yup. We know we are in trouble when we are only 30 points ahead of the mighty House.

Now now. "The mighty ..." is trademarked to Colne!

[Bigbopper]

Here we go again, DSR another non attender at the Car Park Cricket Club

I think you have got that one wrong - dsr is very much a Colne supporter and a regular attending supporter at that.

Burnley CC now officially have more points that fans, congratulations. good achievement this early in the season

[claretonthecoast1882]

It's like being on a Leeds forum this thread, look at our crowds.

Do they award trophies or bonus points for crowds in the Lancs league ?

Crikey!! Watches Colne CC AND the Clarets!! The guy needs therapy!!!

[Longsidelenny1882]

Nothing wrong with them uptheclarets and upthecolne

just bragging rights

[claretonthecoast1882]

just bragging rights

So a bit like Man Utd telling Man City we get bigger crowds than you

[dsr]

Since I started watching Burnley full time, we've had 6 promotions (and 4 relegations), 3 Wembley finals (2 won), and generally a good time. 6 promotions in less than 40 years isn't bad. Also a couple of League Cup semi-finals, though one of them was before I had a season ticket. Burnley's been successful, overall.

And even Colne have won a couple of Worsley Cups!

[GetIntoEm]

yes exactly like that, fans sat at home on their couch saying "yeah but look at our trophies"

[theduke]

Went on the Nelson v Accy game on sunday, first time for ages. Sad how far Nelson have fallen.

Crowd was relatively healthy though

Do Nelson charge to go on I heard it was free. Burnley could try free admittance it would make next to no difference on gate money

UTH

[Dark Cloud]

Most grounds are free these days for league games if not T20 and that's especially true since COVID. I'm guessing it's because if you can encourage people through the gate there's far more money to be made over the bar. Even if most clubs can't match Lowerhouse in terms of attendance figures, there's usually plenty of money being taken at the bar and via the catering at almost every club, especially on a warm day. The food set up at some clubs in the league with very pleasant restaurant areas indoor and outdoor, doing full Sunday roasts etc are pretty impressive operations and are very well used by the locals, even ones who aren't that fussed about the actual cricket.

still charge at the house for non members

[Bigbopper]

Correct and for certain games the attendance is still high. For 20/20 a thousand people can not be wrong. They happily pay for the experience whereas at the BooBoo people go on seeking solitude.

Not true. It is a league rule to charge for First Eleven games.. (see page 32 and 34 here)

[dsr]

It's true that there is a league rule to charge admission, but that's not the same as saying that all clubs charge admission. Some don't.
