Ah, that perhaps explains why you can always get a seat in Stockport then Wynonie, i'd certainly make room for the only hooligan in the village too!:D

However leaving the removal to one side for the moment then, where is it where you are going to shop in the locality now, that provides more free seating than Accrington town centre. I don't really know of anywhere, so i'm trying to draw a comparison between other towns.

Burnley has plenty of free seating.

I'll check that out next time i go, but i honestly don't go to Burnley often, just don't like the feel of the place really, it certainly felt pretty run down last time i visited.

Right, Taggy, I'm on my way up now, so if you're sat on Broadway supping cider with your mates, I'll be expecting you to budge up! ;)

Since mum's stroke in 2009 I find it the easiest place to take her for shopping outings. Easy parking on the Millennium car park and only a short walk to the shops without having to cross roads. There are plenty of benches for a sit down and so far not seen any problems with drinkers etc.

For my sins, I was a regular at Turf Moor during the 1970s when Burnley were in the old Division 1. Having said that, I don't know anything about football!

And once again it's worth considering what makes other town centres more hospitable. It's not just the facilites, it's the fact they don't have drop in centres for the deadbeats as part of the town centre. It's a fact that can't be ignored :mad:

Thats probably because you spent to much time down the Turf in your youth:D:D

Me too.

We had season tickets.

One week Burnley, the next Rovers.

Rovers was more exciting, especially as we always went in the Darwen End, for some reason, with the visiting bovver boys.

Burnley I thought of as more cosmopolitan.

You could get chips in a cone, printed with Edwardian new stories.

I've always been easily impressed.

:D

I have been to Accy today.

After a bad week, today was a good one.

I didn't even NEED a seat.

:)

The season I stood for every single home game in the Clayton End, the year the club won promotion back into the league, was the happiest time of my football watching life.

Ever since my Dad first took me to watch footy as a three year old, carried me over the turnstile, and sat me on his shoulders, so I could see.

It's all seater now, I believe?

Seats, or benches?

Any trouble up there with alkies sittin' on 'em?

:rolleyes::D
