Blue Skies

So many memories. Different stages of his career. Taking the hard man Tommy Smith on and making him look foolish in his first spell. Crossing to Hankin 1 0. Part of the team that outclassed Celtic. He left his best till last before '"game management" was invented. Commentator in the Orient game - "t...

Need to follow the Government for you grey haired lot/pensioners Spike. Triple lock increase and raise the threshold to 70. After all you can afford it!

Blue Skies

Thank you PW, I was trying to keep my answer consise and it didn't fully hit the mark as yours did. I always remember attending a Major Users conference where they should a live screen of LNG carriers just cruising round looking for their next sale and offload, there was plenty. This was pre Covid o...

Fretters is bang on. Having worked in this area for years, major users, NHS, MOD etc buy their gas through a government framework and is bought up to three years advance and therefore locked in. This is only available for commercial users and not domestic like me and you. There is an abundance of Li...

1979/80 for me. We won the Anglo Scottish Cup the season before beating some Glasgow side on the way. Why it was diastrous was we were not that bad and were full of hope going into the season. 86/87 we had been on the downward slide since John Bond and we were poor very poor. This season is disappoi...

Blue Skies

Spike's post is spot on. As for being disconnected, it is pretty obvious what is meant. There is always a downbeat feel to a relegation but the club has continued to battle on with a team that the best part of 20000 fans can see is not right and has not produced and rolled over so many times. All we...

Blue Skies

Dark Cloud. That has to be your most optimistic post ever. Free STs next season, have you gone mad. Stick to the 50% increase which is more akin to your User Name

Blue Skies

People who went to Genk and the Real Betis friendly called Trafford out there. We have gone into this this with JT in goal and it has backfired massively. We are better than 13 points but the confidence of the back 4 and the rest is down to VK not seeing what everyone else can. Embarrassing at best,...

Is this Dave (Ted) Whitehead? Looks like he's changed allegiances to me

Blue Skies

sjb are you suggesting that Lowerhouse is deprived of trophies or deprived in general? Sounds like Poorhouse to me!

Blue Skies

In answer to DAs question I would consider Lowerhouse similar to DL in football. Millions in their fan base and regularly take thousands away but do not win much. Burnley lower fan base but pick up trophies regularly taking no pleasure in the process

Blue Skies

Agree with most of the above and most want to see the back of it! If it takes best part of five minutes to disallow a goal then the officials are trying their damnest to chalk it off. Jay springs to mind and Villa had one over 4 mins at Burnley once. There should be some time limit and if it is that...

Blue Skies

Close Jamesy 10 April 1974. Newcastle 1 Burnley 2. Hastily rearranged game on Saturday or Sunday for the following Wednesday. If you didn't know a player or someone at the club you never had known it was taking place. I was there and take great pleasure in mentioning it to DB everytime I see him whi...

Blue Skies

I agree with you Tony I thought England scored two OGs. There was controversy about the winner though as I thought Tottenham scored all three of our goals that day

Blue Skies

The young lad was brilliant with him formed a great bond and it was quite natural. We don't know how it turns out, it was all kept secret

Blue Skies

Our whippet in the first episode next Thursday. Also feature in TV Times (didn't know it still existed).

Blue Skies

You can all look out for my dog (blue/grey whippet). Star of one of the episodes. No spoilers. His final filming (he did 10 days in total) in Grassington was day after the Ewood win, feeling slightly hung over I kept getting locked in the pub whilst they filmed in the Square. Great experience though.

Blue Skies

SF whilst your comments about BCC and their Social Media may be true and relevant criticism the game is not played on there. It is played on grass and 3 Championships in the last 4 played means their sporting model must be close to doing something right. In the late 70s they were criticised for repl...

Blue Skies

Maybe CT but Lower House got the rub of the weather at TM earlier in the season. I always remember East Lancs as BCC biggest rivals and now Darwen. The banter on BFC match days is always good between Rosegrove and BCC. Long may that continue

Blue Skies

Leave it Burnley1989. We all know Lower House is the biggest club in Burnley as they follow their team like no other team in the Lancashire League. Rosegrove massif turn out all the time but unfortunately competitions are about points on the board and the "poorly" supported BCC managed to accumulate...

Blue Skies

Didn't you have a free hot dog as well in the Circ DG? I am with you on this one. I use to do Park Runs they were max 30/40 mins and people were desperate for water. Ridiculous

Blue Skies

Does this mean Lower House is now out of the title race, leaving only Burnley CC to chase down the Blackburn based club? Looks like there is only one team in Burnley then.

Blue Skies

If you are that worried then lump on relegation at 3/1. There are five other teams below us in the betting.

Blue Skies

Thanks to Arise I checked the website as he alluded to. The results are the same but the Rosegrove contingent do not come on here telling us the results. Especially when they are not in their favour. I would always prefer Burnley or Lower House to win the League than a Blackburn based club. Unfortun...

Kerching Ryan Moore didn't need to wait for Paddington. Continues wins 3.00

Blue Skies

Similar to above Ryan Moore is Even money with Willy Hills to ride one winner and given he is riding Paddington it is buying money (max £10) as ClaretsPadiham says

Blue Skies

Thanks just wondered

Blue Skies

Any results today? Just wondered whether Rosegrove reclaimed top spot.

How many fans were there?

Eurostar £300 return that weekend

Is there a kick off time for Genk game

Blue Skies

If you check the Sky website we are the only club with no friendlies, it says TBC. If we are not playing any so be it! If they are behind close doors, so be it! If there are current logistical or financial reasons, maybe. But what is the secret? Oh well we have Citeh to look forward to first up play...

Blue Skies

The only way Spike won't be going is if they are behind closed doors and that is the need to know reason. Certain Clarets like to jolly out to friendlies as mini trips. The veil of secrecy make it difficult to plan. That's the frustration here! The nearer the announcement to the date played makes it...

Blue Skies

Won't need your passport for that one then!!!!

Blue Skies

A massive positive from the club for the Cardiff game. We had three spares of people who hadn't travelled for various reasons. We rang the club with the details of the first one and they issued a replacement with no charge. We then followed up with the other two. The ticket office was excellent in t...

Blue Skies

What is the issue with the club on all this? If they don't want any supporters there announce behind closed doors. Communication let us down on all this. Truely farcical. Not even the people usually in the know like CT have a clue.

Blue Skies

Point taken Wilks but I don't think we will be reverting to a Sean D style anytime soon. Early friendlies are played at walking pace with full squad changes throughout. Not much Pep could glean out of that! Unless of course Muric plays up top

Blue Skies

It's understandable to want to play behind closed doors at times but we have signed up to the Premier Zone brand and should continue to capitalise on that. For the club to be silent on such matters is not good form. A lot of Clarets would enjoy a short European trip or even match the halcyon days of...

Blue Skies

Frank Casper has my vote. Clever, quick and great finisher

Blue Skies

So, if you became a Premium Member Tony that wrong could be put right with The Match Ball sponsor looking 25 again.

Blue Skies

I remember that Tony but as a Premium Member there will be the facility to have a mock up photo that will be photoshopped

Blue Skies

Premium Members will also receive a photo of them at the Colchester game which prove they were one of the 1600.

Blue Skies

I thought this thread was about towels in pubs and their demise. The Ministry of Ale had the same one for years, the away fans weren't to know so would always use it. Whatever happened to that towel?

Blue Skies

It's a shame there isn't a game abroad that supporters cannot attend. Most Premier League clubs have high profile games all over the world. I don't buy the secret tactics thing, we surprised the Championship last season but VK is hardly going to revert to Sean's 4 4 2. The Club has bonded with suppo...

Blue Skies

Another annoying one was The B side of Rezillos Top of the Tops. I wish Half Man Half Biscuit were around in the late 70s

Blue Skies

Juke boxes back in the day were brilliant. Nothing better than finding an obscure B side totally opposite genre to the pub you were in and repeatedly playing them. Broadsword late Saturday evening full of those Wigan Casinos people waiting for their minibus having to listen to B side of Into the Val...
