Fair play to Burnley, shows it’s still possible

 

They are doing it whilst making large profits as well which is admirable, sure they finished in the top 10 clubs in the world for NET profit or something like that

Stood on this end at Burnley in the "only need nine men game. "

 

I recall the utter bedlam when we equalised very fondly.  I was a very impressionable 11 year old at the time.

 

On the drive away from the ground after the game a Burnley fan was knocked spark out over car bonnet....."Don't mention this to your mum!!!" was all my Dad said.

Sure we were in the covered paddock that day 

aye, down the side to the right of that pic.

 

i remember Bolton going on the pitch only to be charged back by far more Burnley coming from that paddock in the pic.

 

although i do recall seeing a good few Dingles taking a kicking.

We were down the side and the on the pitch game was a different game altogether.

Been Burnley umteen times, I remember one year we had the Cricket end behind the goal in 84, it was only a Lancs/Manx cup game before the season started, most of the time it has been half of the Long Stand.

The covered stand in the photo is the Bob Lord stand innit?

I was in there for the "We only need 9 men" game, locals weren't reet keen on us being there iirc.

Ah, and the locals when me and my son jumped up and danced about that terrace behind that goal weren't to happy. :D

That's the one.

 

Doesn't convey how many Burnley were coming at us though. Seems a few coppers kept us apart, pretty tame in the end.

 

Bedlam outside though, kept my head down and fucked off in mates dad's car.
