Any Clarets at Edge Hill Uni?

Post by LlandennyClaret » Mon Sep 04, 2017 10:57 am

Morning all,
My youngest lad is starting at Edge Hill Uni (Ormskirk) in a couple of weeks. Any other Clarets there?
He's not got an account on here but is on the usual Social Media channels.
If anyone wants to get in touch just let me know.

Cheers

Nice to know Clarets are still training at Edge Hill.
I went there in the mid seventies and had several fellow students with me who came from East Lancs and were also Burnley supporters. We all celebrated our promotion from Div2.

Stanley Hall 1974 - 78 it was all teacher training when we were in our first year - great place very happy memories - met my wife there and made many good friends. Lived out of hall for 2nd to 4th year, in Mac and Doris's house opposite the little triangular park. She looked after so many lads we christened it "Doris Hall"

Our lot, Alsager, used to play Edge Hill at football and rugby in the late 70s/early 80s.

Not a great time for flying the Claret flag, although we'd just stopped in the league.

there a pub just outside ormskirk, on the road in from edge hill, called the cricketers I think. I'm pretty sure it has been mentioned on here and is run by a claret.

Hi,
I go to edge hill uni and I am a Burnley fan!
Not many clarets there, more Liverpool fans.
But the student union is always full to watch the game, and it's a great university to be at! Tell them to make the most of freshers!

The cricketers is more of a pub that you go for a meal at rather than a pub to go to with your mates! Though it does lovely food!

Yeah. Probably more lecturers than students.

One for real ale fans though. West Lancs CAMRA pub of the Year, don't you know :D .

Also good place for those who appreciate a decent pint to stop by on the way to anfield next week.
