@_YorkshireLass_ @angieabb100 This one is half a mile from the ground on Chorley New Road with a straight walk down hill half a mile to the ground. Follow the crowd. £6 (for my grandsons school charity) when I last used it a year ago.

@MarcIles Marc, I genuinely suffered a cardiac arrest just five weeks ago and now have a pacemaker fitted. This was the game I came back for!

Laughed and joked about re-writing match reports and binning copy in stoppage time but those adrenaline fuelled panics are genuinely the best bit of the job. Loads has changed since I first started doing this gig. Not that. Up the stoppage time Trotters. #bwfc

Scammers just tried an ‘Account Takeover’ on my EE number. After some setup verbals they caused a text to be sent from EE including a code to ‘authorise a sim change’. I got the code but wouldn’t repeat it when asked and at that point the scam fails. Let’s be careful out there!

@YesterdaysBrit1 Strong though! Collision I went to was a Lada into rear of a Ford, which was written off. The Lada? The front badge fell off, no other damage.

@PD_1972 @BWFCimages @OfficialBWFC I got this a couple of weeks ago and read it in a few days. If you lived through those times you’ll love the book. It takes you right back and reliving the games! I’m currently a good way into ‘Measured Spirit’ about Sam’s reign as manager, which is equally as good.

Finally got myself a copy. As a #bwfc fan who started watching ⁦@OfficialBWFC⁩ towards the end of the Phil Neal era, then becoming a ball boy at Burnden Park watching Bruce Rioch bring so many good memories, I’m looking forward to getting into this.

As a 71yr old I completely support the Road Safety Strategy with compulsory sight tests for 70+yrs. In my 31yrs Police service there were many times I found drivers who failed the 20m test at 10m or under. Lowering the drink drive limit is also long overdue.

@StanchionBooks @PitchPublishing @OfficialBWFC Just finished Chris Evans Total Belief re Bruce Riochs years at BWFC. Superb! I was at most of if not quite all the games covered and reliving them and the times via this book drew me instantly back into that era. It was emotional! Measured Spirit & Big Sam up next.

@geraintjohn_ My Jane died in ‘21 and I put her ashes in a place we loved to walk. I also got permission to plant a fruit tree there. It’s a mile from home & I go most days and talk to her. I find it to be a comfort. There’s no wrong way to do this, Geraint, whatever keeps you close.

We are getting prepared for the spreading of ashes on the weekend. Trying to find positives. It just seems ridiculous and surreal. Any tips?

@BBCNews Re your item on Calling Blighty today, my dad was out in Burma (and India) the whole war and came home in ‘46. A crew filmed him for CB but the film remained unknown by family for 75yrs until found for me. He died when I was 10 - I had no idea ! nwfa.mmu.ac.uk/blighty/record…

@almurray I mentioned the Calling Blighty project in your earlier “What my dad did in the war” thread. My dad was out east inc Burma the whole war, only home in ‘46. I was 10 when he died but film of him waited there 75yrs to be found for me! Well worth a search if dad served in Burma.
