Horace Bachelor, wasn't it, Ian?

I can 't waste any more of my time watching this rubbish.

I'll google the draw in an hour's time.

My village doesn't have mains gas, so I run my central heating on oil, and the price of that has doubled since January.

I missed the last home game ( Covid ) but they haven't sent me one asking why!

I haven't been to Ewood since the bubble system was introduced.

But derbies next season at Preston Blackpool and Wigan look quite inviting.

Goal Wolves!

Saw Andy scoring some memorable goals in my early days following the Clarets I hitched to watch Burnley v Spurs at WHL and got on at half time. Just in time as Burnley won a corner and Andy rose above the defenders and buried it.We won 1-0. Years later Andy showed us round the Turf and described ho...

Oh no! Will there ever be any good news? It's all grim at the moment.

RIP Andy. One of my heroes when I first starting supporting the Clarets.

A rolling system would be fairer.
For example, I've got nearly 10,000 points, but I've only been to six away games in the last four seasons.

I 'm watching this on BT Sport.

Why on earth did Sky get rid of David Gower? He is by far the best commentator around.

We only lost ten altogether in our last TWO seasons in the Championship.

I'm a little confused about these cards. I'll be getting a gold card, because the club have just e-mailed me asking for a postal address to send it to. When it arrives, I'll have two cards, the gold card and what I call my season ticket card, that I show at the turnstile . I assume that is the TeamC...

Happy Birthday Andy.

Does he still attend the games? A few years ago he was always on the pitch before kick-off as a match day host.

I got my first share in the late 1960s. My grandma had one but couldn't be bothered with it so she transferred it to me. My Dad had to sign the paperwork because I wasn't old enough. Then I got another couple in the early 2000s when there was a two for one rights issue. My final one was about ten ye...

lakedistrictclaret

Yes, mine has arrived

Thanks Clarethalffull and gawthorpe_view. I am duly booked in for next season using my teamcard points.

Burnleybabe, I couldn't find my points either, but when I went to renew teamcard points was one of the options available.

lakedistrictclaret

It's in my purchase history too, but until a value has been assigned to it I guess I won't be able to use it to renew my season ticket.

lakedistrictclaret

Took me an hour to get out of Burnley last night. I ended up going through Padiham and Whalley to join the M6 northbound at Salmesbury.

lakedistrictclaret

Happy Birthday Mick. Glad you seem to be so much better. I remember your heartfelt posts from a few months ago.

I too can thoroughly recommend retirement.

His sexuality is not referred to in the book, until right at the end.

I enjoyed the book much more than the TV series.

What is the record for lowest goal difference for a relegation from the Prem?

I've not checked, but I seem to remember reading that Manchester City once got relegated with a positive goal difference.

lakedistrictclaret

We have sixteen games left.
That's four groups of four matches. If we can get five points from each of those four groups, that would take us to 37 points, which may be enough.

lakedistrictclaret

I think someone has said we’ve conceded only one goal in four, and that was against Liverpool. We’re looking hard to beat again and if we can score goals (and avoid major injuries) we’ll stay up. There’s still loads of football to play. It's two in four, we also conceded against Manchester United.....

Sorted. Just move to Burnley!

That would have a certain tidiness about it, Leisure, considering I was born in Burnley, but I've lived in Cumbria for forty four of my sixty nine years, and it's home.

I have received e-mails stating my early bird seat renewal ends March15 and I have to set up a DD or pay cash by that date. I am also waiting for £4.25K to be added to my current season ticket re. share sales which I understood could be used for future season ticket purchases. What are my options? ...

lakedistrictclaret

Not particularly obscure, but I watched the Aberdeen home leg in a pub in Birmingham. I was down there for the Edgbaston Test Match.

lakedistrictclaret

I'd say that there is an 85% chance of us going down, but there is always that 15%.

Interesting piece in today's "Times "on Aaron Lennon and his battle against depression.

Could someone attach a link please?

lakedistrictclaret

Yes, I play it every day, if I remember.

The game has been sold to the New York Times, so eventually I suppose we'll have to pay to do it.

lakedistrictclaret

Good article about Lenny and his friendship with Dean West in today's "Times".

I don't know how to provide a link.

I've had a trial run and had no problem at all. It recognised the fact that I was an over 65 when I clicked on my seat on the stadium plan.

However, I didn't complete the purchase. I intend to wait until I receive my credit for selling my shares.

Until I retired I was a solicitor appearing daily in the Magistrates' courts for thirty eight years, for both prosecution and defence.
I fully endorse what Spiral and pushpinpussy have said above.

The old Magistrates Court building in Keswick is now a Wetherspoons. They have retained many of the court's old features, including the magistrate's bench and the dock. I've dealt with many a case there when it was a court, but I've not been in the pub yet. It has the rather unwieldy name of " The C...

My Scottish team, Queen of the South, are losing at home to Dunfermline in a bottom of the table clash.

Both my teams therefore are bottom of their respective divisions.

I've had better seasons!

In the good old days night games kicked off at 7:30pm.

Good job too, in the late sixties I lived in Lytham and the last train back from Burnley Central was 9.29pm.
In those days, half time was only ten minutes and there was never a lot of injury time.

9 Draws in 18 matches with only 16 goals scored tells me where our most pressing issue is, and if we can only sign 1 newbie it's got to be a CF in my opinion.

I agree.
If we do not sign a first-team ready striker in the next seven days, we will be relegated. It really is as simple as that.

lakedistrictclaret

Are we really worse than these two sides?

lakedistrictclaret

Sorry to hear this Cc. You'll have lots of happy memories of him.

Why they pushing this game when others got called off before like Spurs

I think it's because this is a Cup weekend and Watford, like ourselves, are already out.

Thanks John.

Waking up to an empty house the day after Lexie was put to sleep was the pits.
Luckily for me, my niece is a vet and she was able to find Lucy for me quickly.
