Is ColneFC from the ashes of Colne Dynamoes, or a separate team? Are the latter still a thing?

New club entirely. I think there were a good few years between Dynamoes finishing and this club starting.

Fortunately his performance didn’t change the outcome of the game. Otherwise bloody dreadful.

You are right, no effect on the result, just shocking.

ClaretTony

I've just looked back at some decisions.

I think both Neil and Hume should have been yellow carded in the early part of the game and can't believe O'Nien wasn't - then he cards Cullen which is just downright ridiculous.

From the TV I thought he was disappointing tonight

The yellow card for Cullen was completely bizarre

Failed to allow advantage on several occasions

Not seen them back yet, but can't believe the Cullen yellow card nor the one he didn't give O'Nien early doors.

ClaretTony

I thought West Brom might have just been a poor game from him but good grief he was every bit as bad tonight. He can’t even keep up with play.

Away fans must think we are a joke, eg you can turn up at Sunderland 5 mins before kick off and be in your seat for in time and that is with 37000 plus fans! Also no road blocks, police helicopters and the like, Lancashire Constabulary take note. My mates were at the turnstiles at Sunderland some 2...

All good for me also , i mean to see some of the best players in the world what more could you ask for . Helps attract younger fans too.

I think it’s all part of cricket trying to evolve and build up the spectators, you have to remember the pros playing in the league these days aren’t on par with those that played in the 60’s etc, so it’s different in that sense but I do understand why some folk might not see it that way. Absolutely...

Top bloke was Britt and so sad that he lost his life at just 61.

Not sure it’s been written off Tony. I’d need to see the full accounts but I thought they had failed to repay it. I thought the loan was provided by the owner so maybe he’s agreed for it to be written off ? Given they took this £20m loan out from MSD at what looks like short notice it seems like th...

I've just been reading a piece on West Brom. Their owner borrowed £5 million almost two years ago but has failed to pay it back. It's now been written off as show in their accounts. They are not in a healthy position and below is from the report which includes the view of their auditors. The account...

Let’s hope that we have a good season weather wise with some good cricket

Spot on. When you look at it in today's climate it was an absolute travesty what the Geordies got away with at Newcastle in the 6th round. Forest were hopelessly let down by weak authorities and it simply ended up as a victory for mob rule. And when the replayed game was drawn at Goodison, Forest s...

Two of them get relegated so you're back to 90.

Ha ha - im back down at 86 now - not been to Crawley, Forest Green, Harrogate, Salford, Stevenage and Sutton.

No cons for me at all. You want your team to be the best it can be.

I only knew Jack Butt when he was commercial manager but the player you refer to looks very much like him to me.

Worst ever game attended for me ,we were the better team and should have won apart from Macdonald,they shouldn’t have even been in the semi-final after the farce in their quarterfinal against Forest

Easy to forget what happened at SJP in the sixth round. Forest should have been our opponents.

Cheers Tsar,
Very interesting article. The club obviously doing everything they can for any player observing Ramadan.

It’s been like that, and rightly so, for a while but it’s good that the club are making it known so we know what’s going on when the game stops.

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/no-pay-on-the-day-for-burnley-away/ This was posted on the other thread. Their official coaches seem very cheap as well. £25 at Burnley because it was one of our Cat B games. What is strange is us only charging Sunderland £25 for a Cat A game when they turned down any re...

There was a game stopped last season. I think it was against Southampton. If I recall it wasn’t previously announced and there was some initial confusion from supporters as to why the game was stopped I think it was Southampton and there hadn’t been any advance info on it thus the confusion. We con...

ClaretTony

Good shout. Looks like Kevin Hird in the centre, Glenn Keeley to the right as we look. Possibly Stuart Metcalfe at edge of area (if he was still there in 77??). I know there could have been team changes but Metcalfe was still there, he's named in the programme. https://www.uptheclarets.com/wp-conte...

Would be interesting to compare concession prices. Which this season seem to have varied quite a bit!

The problem with concession ticket comparisons is they vary so much in the age ranges

Ah right presume this was to try and boost their attendance??I know we had a few who played on a Friday night like Stockport and Tranmere but never heard pre tv days of Saturday night kick offs!

Let's be honest, there's been far more than just one!! But yes, Smith was excellent early doors for us and the opening goal in that derby match in '77 was a great strike TBF.

He got 10 in his first 2 seasons, 14 in the third and then just 3 before he left. He has never hit 15 in the Premier league once.

His crap performances for the last 6 months contributed more to our relegation than his sale did.

Had a 12 too in the season after the 14 so 10, 10, 14,12 and 3.

How come it was played on a Saturday night? Sounds unusual for back then! Torquay often played their home games on a Saturday night at 7:15. We were running the supporters club coaches then and being Bank Holiday and the M5 problems you used to get, we opted to leave at 11:30 the night before. Then...

Attendance at this game: 1335. Is this our lowest ever league attendance (home or away)?

It was the night I made it to 92 with 91 of them watching Burnley, the exception being Darlingt...

no Totally agree Tony. I hated Macdonald because he scored in all three games if I’m not mistaken. And shouldn’t the Texaco final have been two legs but they made it one because of the cup final AND played it at Newcastle. So pleased when the bar codes got hammered by Liverpool in the final. He sco...
