All you Lancashire members on here will know that your membership card no longer admits you into the ground. You have to order a ticket (at no cost of course ) and either download it onto your phone or print it off. What on earth is all this about? My membership is the one that allows you ten or ele...

I'd say the whinging of Klopp Arteta and Pep would be a pro rather than a con.

I'm not very good at this ballot lark.

I missed out on the Liverpool game during the covid season, and it looks as though I've missed out here too.

All the Burnley fans who get tickets could play a part in paying that lot back. Refuse to spend money on programmes, pies/pints or any refreshment. Losing money that way, will go part way of getting our own back on them.

Not difficult to refuse to buy a programme.

They don't produce one.

lakedistrictclaret

And even those successful in the ballot have to collect their ticket from Turf Moor with photo ID, rather than receive them through the post.

Don't think I'll bother.

Yesterday hasn't discouraged me for next season.

There are nine teams involved in the relegation battle. Six of those will stay up. With a few additions during the summer, we can compete with those six, plus the two coming up with us, plus the likes of Villa, Fulham and Brentford.

We'll be fine.

I'm driving to the Ladywell park and ride, tram to Piccadilly, then walking to the Etihad from there. The walk is 20-25 minutes.

Only one home Saturday 3pm kick off left!

And if by some miracle we get past Man City this weekend, even that will be an evening kick-off, presumably on Tuesday 2nd May.

The village where I live doesn't have mains gas, and my £200 was very quickly paid to my electricity supplier.

I always enjoy the "Game In Numbers " column in The Times on Mondays. Here are a few from today:- Liverpool scored as many goals in 45 minutes yesterday as Chelsea have scored in their last 16 games. Arsenal made their most passes in a league game on Saturday for over five years (656), but did not m...

Thanks for the report Tony.
Re the facilities, all I can say is thank goodness we will not have to visit this dreadful ground next season.

1-0 Rovers

Thats because they are in a red strip

Good point, but you know what I mean!
They've already had more shots on target than they did against us.

Blackburn unrecognisable from the side who played at Turf Moor.

Next time we’re on Sky is Blackpool, isn’t it? So Millwall should be live on clarets+ - at least for the international subscription

I don't think the Blackpool match is on Sky.

I know that the opposition to woodburners relates to urban rather than rural areas, but where I live there is no mains gas and there are people in my village whose only form of heating is woodburners or open fires.

Mine arrived in this morning's post.

Just be patient, it'll come soon ( hopefully ).

lakedistrictclaret

I had mine tested ten years ago.
No problems then, but I'm 70 now and although I've no symptoms that I know of, this thread has prompted me to have another test.

Does anyone know if replays continue for the next two rounds ?

No more replays after tonight.

It's a long time ago now, but I think at least one of them (if not both ) was Derek Scott.

What’s the reason for Rovers playing their replay tonight?

It's because Blackburn's game this weekend against Wigan is on the Monday night, on Sky.

Going back a bit further, Leicester ( with Andy Lochhead ) lost the F. A. Cup Final and got relegated in 68-69.

Lost 3 - 0 at Anfield I believe.

And then won 1-0 at home, Derek Scott

We played well at Anfield. We had two one-on-ones but didn't take advantage.

Is there 5th round replays with it already being midweek?

No replays from the fifth round onwards.

lakedistrictclaret

I don't think I'm the target audience either (I'm 70} but I love them.

Judging by the number of views and the fabourable reaction, they are raising the profile of the club, and that can only be a good thing.

lakedistrictclaret

Is Obafemi available to play in the replay?
He probably wasn't signed in time to play in the original tie, so does this disqualify him for the replay?
I don't know the answer.

The reason that the Birmingham is this coming Tuesday is that Blackburn 's match next weekend is on the Monday night against Wigan, on Sky.

Our's will be Tuesday 7th.

Fantastic playing surface

It looked like an artificial pitch to me.

The spirit and comaradarie between players and coaches is there for all to see. Its not been there since Coyle left. Everyone in these two camps were delighted that Twine had scored. I am sure this spirit gives us an extra 10% on the pitch Yes, I noticed that the subbed players and unused subs were...

Three SPL games on tonight, and an ex-Claret playing in each of them.

You're lucky you can get DAB in your car. There are large areas of Cumbria where there is no reception.

lakedistrictclaret

I sometimes think that it would be easier if we went back to the old rule, where the flag goes up if anyone is offside, whether they're involved in the move or interfering with play or not.

lakedistrictclaret

As you say Tony that's seven league wins in a row. I think the last time we did this was in 2013-2014 in September and October. We then got only four points from the next five games. I don't think that will happen this time.

More pertinently, when did we last win eight league games in succession?

lakedistrictclaret

Happy Birthday Tony. I catch you up in August.

Know and love Anglesey very much, Neil. Where are you headed?

Morning John,

I'm renting a remote cottage near Llangoed, a few miles north of Beaumaris, for a week.

Just me and my dog, Lucy. Plenty of walking on Anglesey, and I'm really looking forward to it.

lakedistrictclaret

I'm out of the country on holiday on that date.

On the Isle of Anglesey.

Does that count?

The main one is hooliganism.
Nowadays it is generally perfectly safe going to the football. In the sixties and seventies, particularly, you needed to be very wary, especially at away games.

lakedistrictclaret

I'm ashamed to say that I will have lived within twelve miles of Workington for forty years in May this year, and I've still never been to a match at Borough Park.

lakedistrictclaret

No spoilers please!

I was only told about Happy Valley over Christmas. I'd never heard of it.

I've since watched the first two series, and will start the new series tonight.

It's brilliant, even better than Line Of Duty.

lakedistrictclaret

I've just noticed that, if we get through the next round, the fifth round ties will all be midweek.

lakedistrictclaret

At least if we get Wrexham or Borehamwood at home, history says we won't lose. We only get beaten at home when we're in the top division ( Wimbledon, Lincoln ).

How many other times have we played a non-league team at home? Off the top of my head I can think of Altrincham, Runcorn and Canvey Island.

Where was the offside there? Looked a fair goal to me

It was in the earlier passage of play, but, I agree, the rule needs changing. It's spoiling football.

lakedistrictclaret

West Brom will have a cup replay three days before they play us.

lakedistrictclaret

I was there, on the Witton End, which was then open terrace.

lakedistrictclaret

At least they issue one.

Swansea, Blackburn, Bristol City, Reading and Millwall only produce digital ones, so there'll be no programme sellers outside or inside the ground.
