Is that your little boy next to you?
Best to phone them about that: 01282 411304.
Their website is www.thebridgebeerhuis.co.uk
It seems to be halfway between Burnley Central station and the ground so I'll probably drop in as well. [Post edited 17 Nov 2017 3:17]

Only pub I've been in in Blackburn is the Navigation Inn, a nice enough canal-side pub not far from Ewood Park, but in truth too far off the beaten track to bother with.
As far as Burnley goes, I'd recommend The Bridge Bier Huis, ten minutes walk from the ground, which has quality beer and a good, busy atmosphere.
Went there last season. Was rammed with Burnley, with a few Swans fans here and there having a good natter with the locals. Nice enough folk, but not a good idea to go in "giving it large". Treat them with respect and they'll do the same with you.
Cricket Club's ok - will be more Swans fans in there if that's what you want, but it's a bit sterile and lacking in atmosphere, like most social clubs.
Watch the stewards though - 2 years ago I turned up with a new Yale lock which I'd bought on the way to the ground. I was searched and had it confiscated, but was promised I could retrieve it after the game, but the steward who had it never turned up at the assigned place.
Robbing northern B-----d! |
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 ðŸ˜
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!!!! 😎 |  |

Boring load of shit and lose by one goal. No intent whatsoever and some shallow excuse in the post match for why we only had one or two shots on goal. Bony and Sanches both get new hamstring or calf strains.
Business as usual.
I'm keeping my expecatations low on this one. |
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!

theintent, endeavour and structure was highly encouraging - and enjoyable

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.
