With the division of coverage split between Sky, BT and now Amazon(are there any others?) how much do the clubs get from The telly companies? How many games are covered by Amazon this season? Do Amazon pay any more than the others for the rights? Sorry I’ve not followed this until now, oh and how ca...

Great story Tony, thank you.

Following a number of requests, The film of Bob Lord, shown on Friday at the James Hargreaves at the fund raiser for the Clarets Food Bank and Which is also on show at TOWNELEY in the Bob Lord: Burnley Born And Bred exhibition, can now be seen here. https://youtu.be/gaQ3blcS-J4" onclick="window.open...

Cannot find anything on Julie Coopers Twitter feed to suggest she is standing down at the next election.

mikeS

At the 2015 election, Julie Cooper took the seat from Gordon Birtwistle with a Majority of 3,500. In 2017 her majority went up to over 6,000. It’ll be a close result next time I would think. Gordon Birtwistle is standing again. Charles Briggs, leader of the Council is standing for the Burnley Indepe...

Looking at demand for some away games, how many fans who wanted to go, didn’t get a ticket for it?
Are we talking single numbers, hundreds or what?

Would have loved to have seen many of those bands play the Imp.
Did anyone see Hendrix play there? May 67, what did he play ?

I’ll post ‘Bob Lord The Movie’ starring Bob Lord playing himself on YouTube soon for those who can’t get to TOWNELEY.

I think the Dunkirk scenes were filmed at St Anne’s last year.

Match photographer Howard Talbot told me the story of when The photographers changed ends at half time to film behind the goals, Lord told them not to walk in front of the BobLord stand, and instead walk round the pitch the longest way round, via the Longside as Lord said it impeded his view.

Kgun5 Welcome to Burnley. If you’re here a day or two, you can spend a good half a day at TOWNELEY Hall which is one of Burnley’s gems. On match day, for a pre match pint, Plumbe St Miners club is the place to be, 20p entrance fee, pie n peas and a pint for under a fiver, sky tv and handy for the Tu...

Seems strange that you can legally buy, own and carry around weapons of mass destruction in America but can't use electric fags.

Tommy Boyle played his last game for Burnley there.

Back in the 60’s there were more local buses and on Burnley home games football specials that dropped off on Belvedere Road. Excellent service then. Saturday with a full house at the Turf, pubs packed with folk enjoying a beer or two before the game and leaving their cars at home, would have been id...

Thanks a lot Tony.

Not sure if the club or any supporters groups can do anything to organise a better bus service after a Saturday early evening kick off?

After the game ended there was ONE bus in the bus station going to Padiham. It left ten minutes late and there were still loads of passengers on the concourse.

Great book, like most of Stephen Kings.

Well done BUrnley.
Time to knock the scousers off their perch next.

Yes it was true. Otherwise I wouldn't have written it.

Ritchie Havens, Hendrix and the Who with Daltrey wearing the fringed jackets stood out for me. When the film came out (1970?) I remember queuing for it in Burnley and the management were a bit worried that the film would spark off nudity, peace, love and drug taking and so they split the audience in...

Welcome to Burnley Danny.

Looking at the Turf in the bottom photo of Yorkshire street, it looks to be misty. The old alongside before it was concreted was just a bank of old factory boiler clinker and cinders that regularly spontaneously combusted in summer once the sun heated the pile up. The fire brigade was often called t...

I won’t be buying shirts any more until the club move away from promoting gambling with sponsors like Lovebet.
The club must have had other sponsors-it could have chosen from.

BFCmaj, the Tommy Boyle and Road To Glory Books I did were self-published through Grosvenor House. Self Publishing is good if you're a newcomer as I was. If you can get a publisher interested they will put up the money for printing. Have a look at Writer and Artists Yearbook - its a bible for people...

From Google “A: The Boeing 737-800 is an example of an average sized airplane. It has a maximum takeoff weight of about 80,000 kg (175,000 lbs). This includes the weight of the plane, which is about 41,000 kg (90,000 lbs), and the weight of the fuel which is about 18,000 kg (40,000 lbs)” Just wonder...

Trains made the switch from coal and diesel to electric. Cars are making the switch from petrol and diesel to electric. Could planes to do the same?

I liked the start of the broadcast where the CBS announcer introduces the broadcast, man on the moon, sponsored by Kellogg’s. Kellogg’s puts more in your morning, and here’s Walter Cronkite.

Here is another from Burnley's 1914 and first overseas tour when they played Viktoria Club Berlin.
Within only a few months they would be at war killing each other.

The Community Kitchen is on the balcony in the market square. It opens five days a week from 10.00 and you can take any food stuff along that’s not perishable. There’s the food bank, the cafe which makes meals, home made cakes etc, computers, telly, books, and the kitchen that organises cookery clas...

Everton fans gained a hooligan reputation from the early 1960s and the newspapers have details of the incidents. There were also recorded incidents of fans smashing up football special trains from the same time.

Yeah a few billion quid would do it I would think. First, 1 - 2 billion to rebuild Turf Moor, probably just off the M65 at Accrington where a new Disneyland was once planned. With new access roads, a huge car park, shopping mall, restaurants, plus a new training ground (a bit like Citeh’s ) maybe th...

Faceless individuals appointed by ruthless, dodgy corporations running the club totally unaccountable to the fans. Appointing a different manager every season. Top six also rans like Chelsea or Arsenal? No thanks. And to compete with Citeh, well a two or three billion injection of cash, might well d...
