The Navigation is a cracking little boozer.

Very close to Mill Hill station. If there's a direct rail link from MH to Burnley, then that'd be an option. Otherwise, agree it's too far out of the way to bother with tomorrow.

As regards parking ,plenty street parking opposite the main entrance in the streets behind . You ll find a large former Mill and it's pretty safe there to park in streets


Leaving Burnley can be a pain.

Do not be tempted to drive away from stadium and loop around towards the 65 .Traffic is horrendous .

Exit at point nearest town centre . Same apllies coming in t town


Burnley might be northern ,which many of you hate , but it's very working class

Yes you can get to burnley straight from mill hill lazarus but it's a slower train though one plus point is it goes to burnley central which is closer to the ground than manchester rd plus you could take in the beer huis on the way 😁

Ps if anyone wants to meet up at the navigation(we will be made most welcome by local as we are playing burnley)let me know and we can sort a time out

A night game at Notts County takes the biscuit for me. Open corner of the ground with the wind coming up off the Trent.

Never completely recovered from that night game, flash backs are gone now though.

Burnley 0 Swans 2... have a feeling our season turns around tomorrow, you have to hit rock bottom before you can start to climb back up and that was Brighton... so I'm going 0-2 and I've got a twenty that thinks the same too!! WHO ARE WE!!!! 😎

You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.

Pretty much with you all the way there, Butty, although I have high expectations of the pie and mushy peas in the cricket club.

Worst for me was Doncaster away (it's always the northern clubs, aye), December 17 2005.

Horrifically cold. Reckon the air temperature was not much above zero, but the wind factor must have brought it down to -5C, and it was at their old ground where the away end was a big terrace, completely open, uncovered and exposed.

Bought a plastic beaker of tea to try and warm up but was shaking so much that half of it ended up on my trousers and 👠!

A gang of blokes from somewhere in west Wales was there, congo-ing around in Santa Claus outfits.

Got there 10 minutes late, just in time to see our Akinfenwa-sized black tank of a defender, Kevin Austin, get sent off. They scored from the penalty, we equalised through Sam Ricketts, and gamely held on until they scored the winner towards the end.

Leon, Tate, Monk, Martinez & Trundle on the pitch that day.

The image that's sticks in my mind the most was of this unaccompanied young woman, about 17, who for some bonkers reason had turned up wearing nowt but trainers, jeans and a flimsy, short-sleeved replica Swans top. She spent the game in some kind of private hell, crouched down, her arms hugging her body, rocking back and forth on the terrace. Her arms went purple and I felt like a criminal for not offering her my overcoat.

Almost makes me weep to think about it now.

Other disastrous cold away days include turning up at Rotherham (night) and Histon Utd (a suburb of Cambridge) in the FA cup to discover both games called off due to frozen pitches.

Don't f*** with the north in wintertime, I say.

It'll be long johns, thermal vest and a hat down over my ears at Burnley tomorrow!

Richie never forgets .


Not that that can be said for many on here

Not long ago ,there was discussion as to what the boundaries of Swansea were .That means the Swansea Valley towns


Also, somd on here ARE from valleys around Swansea


I don't recall Ammanford, Brecon, Aberdare ,Merthyr being particularly mild and benign ,just feckn wet .


Forecast is dry but with a cold north west wind coming in ,which WILL make it feel cold

To be honest, the vetch one January against Blackpool was pretty brassic. I couldn’t feel my feet or fingers and when Charlo scored in injury time to win it, I actually could not move to celebrate. I’m a right Jessie in the cold though.

Oldham was always cold.

Coldest though was at Walsall's old ground. We lost 4-0 and I was so cold a filling fell out of one of my teeth.
