CTID, IF anyone traveling on your coach knows, or you hear of someone who can't make it to the match at the last minute with a ticket to sell, please give me a ring. I will make arrangements for my Dublin Claret mate to meet you there.

Bfc

To get a ticket in the Luton home end, the purchaser has to have been registered previously with the Club, according to a source. Which seems to imply, a casual football supporter can't just turn up and expect to obtain a ticket.

Bfc

Before the match tomorrow, I meant.

Another request for a Luton ticket. My Dublin based season ticket holder mate, has to book his flights early. But then missed out on getting a match ticket. He goes to a lot of away games, so it’s not a case of him jumping on the band wagon. He can meet anyone outside the ground, if possible, or I c...

Having seen the remarks by some, about the wording of my post. I meant it to read as a special mention to Tony. The work he has put in on this and other factual articles, is both very interesting for everyone. But more so for the post war baby era, who have seen a lot more of those players score tho...

Bfc

Thanks Tony, an article that deserves special mention.
Does/ could anyone say how many Nationalities are on that list of scorers?.

Bfc

I wouldn't watch that lot play, even on tv, but I get pleasure reading of their demise knowing the result. Maybe the Directors left their box early to have a meeting and consider putting their fans in the away end and allocating the rest of the ground for Burnley fans, as a way of generating income....

2 Bee Holed, my thoughts were centring on "another decision of the Club" to not put the players portraits back on the walls. It's a pity for whatever reason, there can't be a re union of the team. I know a number of the team were still meeting up for monthlynights out and having a yearly holiday tog...

I've not seen any mention of a 50 year Div 2 commemoration dinner. Usually either the Club or the other organisations have organised events where the ex players and fans get to meet up again and re live their past memories. It will be a sad day if this is another of the Clubs decisions to not be inv...

The 2 players led down, were used to that position, as they were our defence against free kicks, at the edge of the box.

Do I need to use a QR code for the cup replay. I handed 3 season tickets over and paid for them at ticket office, assuming that when I get to the turnstile, the S/T cards allow us entry.

FA of Royboy, Tricky Trevor and jtv Re the photo at the bottom of page 5, Stan Ternant confirmed to me, it's Billy Gaskell, who we struggled to ID. Rod Jones IS the goalkeeper, as I'd suggested. We got to the final of the tournament in Bochum Germany and lost 2-1 againt Red Star Belgrade. Chris Nich...

As above re the quality of the pitch, for a team playing in the Lowland Junior League. They've already beaten Montrose, Brechin and Stranraer and play Falkirk at home next. Also watching the game was former Preston and Scotland manager Craig Brown.

Bfc

While this is not a rumour, I wonder if we’ve approached Bristol City with a Barnes plus cash transfer deal for Semenyo?.

Bfc

I didn’t include Harold (sailor) Mather as a manager. I spent many an hour in his house up Harle Syke having a brew. He joined Nelson Fc as player manager and later managed a team in South Africa. His nickname came from his wartime service in the Navy. Stanley Mathews said when playing against Harol...

I've put up for years of a clicking in my knee, which has got worse recently, but an x Ray shows it arthritis. Lately I've started wearing s surgical knee support, as my knee is swollen and painful during the night. Are these signs of the symptoms of those who've had knee replacements. I'm seeing th...

I was not aware that the 1914 Cup Winners medal awarded to Jerry Dawson was the first awarded to a player, who had played in an FA Cup Final.

Bfc

cricketfield73, IF it was a Cup Final player, it would’ve been a 1947 player. Having known the history and my personal knowledge of a lot of team, take the ex colleagues comments with a pinch of salt.

I've thousands of press cuttings of games going back from the 1920s. I thinking of adding ones of memorable games and issues onto this thread, for nostalgia purposes. Providing the quality is good enough. My first effort of the Youth team photo wasn't a good example.

Correct Royboy.

. Either 59/60 or 60/61. I think 59/60, as the shirts don't have a badge. A tricky one for me to date exactly, due to certain squad players from either season not on the photo.

The 3rd player didn't manage Burnley, but did manage down the road.

I have a multi stove, but mainly burn wood. One of my neighbours had removed their decking and loaded it onto a Skip, ready to go to the tip. They gave me permission to take it all (a lot). I’ve got 3 months of free heat. I’ve saved more room on a landfill site and the neighbour saved £150 on hiring...

claretbonkers, how many of you are coming up. I’m going to ask a favour for you and see if I can get you hot George’s Black puddings from someone whose shop business is very close to his Butchers. You could then eat them hot on the premises. Maybe get a brew as well. Just pay for puddings.

Thanks TT. I will give it another go in the morning.
