Was that in 68 or round about as i went with my dad as my first away game and can remember Best playing with one boot on can't remember much more as i was only a kid.. FA Cup 5th round in 1964/65 having beaten Brentford and Reading in the previous rounds. We'd played and lost there the week before ...

Thank you Tony.
This must have been mentioned but I haven't seen it:
When was the last time we were awarded a penalty at OT prior to Saturday?
We got two at the Stretford End in 1973/74, both converted by Taffy. I can't think of one since.

Great report. That 2 1 defeat in the Cup back in the 60s obviously hurt you as much as it did me! First visit - Law and Crerand in the last six minutes with Best running round with one boot in his hand setting up the goals. And then I waited, and waited and waited to see us win there. That 2-0 win ...

We played them in the FA Cup, 83-84ish. They were bad mouthing us pre-game but we sent them home with their tail between their legs, 6-1 I think. 3rd round 1981/82 - Steve Taylor(2), Trevor Steven & Billy Hamilton(3). You are right, they were bad mouthing us. They thought they were going to come he...

Surprised that cone wasn't wearing a half and half scarf! Never seen as many people wearing red and white draped in them. Just looks daft! At least the half and half scarves were authentic (a Sean Dyche word) yesterday. We went one year and we saw them on sale with the Aston Villa badge on the Burn...

Good game at Accy, despite the arctic conditions
Is it ever anything but at Accy. Always thought of it as being one of the coldest although not quite Haslingden and definitely not Bacup.

At a fans Q&A with the manager, I think it was Steve Cotterill, Lee Hoos, our Chief Exec at the time, hijacked the opening and did a bit of a rant the jist of which was 'in the USA, a $70 seat was a $70 seat no matter who sat in it'. He really did have a problem with concession pricing. So it's not...

Out of curiosity, what would you say a reasonable discount would be from a full price season ticket to a seniors one? It was once 50% across the board at Burnley. I’ve been paying around 40% discount since qualifying but down next season to just over 30%. Rest assured they will reduce that discount...

Neither of the two local clubs have started their innings well.
Burnley are 28/3 chasing 99 and Lowerhouse are 34/5 chasing 163.

I was told before the Brentford home game that Beyer and kompany had a disagreement after Beyer thought he was rushed back to fitness leading to him getting injured again. He had been back in Germany a few times since his injury
I didn’t say why in my previous post but that’s what I was told.

The one thing missing from this story is whose instigation this would come with. Do we want rid, or does the player? We are well stocked in that position, other players have developed, if we go down, and if selling Jordan means we don’t have to sell Koleosho (taking an example) then it could be us ...

How long has FSP been with us??
We don’t get this info and we can only assume he’s with us given he had a Burnley top on with his initials on it. A lot of clubs list their coaching staff and all their academy staff but we don’t.

Florent Sinama Pongolle, I stand to be corrected, but I’m sure he played in the cup tie against Liverpool when Traore turned into his own goal.
He certainly played for them down the road as well!

Everton would be level with Brighton without their points deduction.
Bournemouth’s manager is doing a good job.

All the costs to the club to provide each seat are exactly the same whoever is sitting in the seat. There is no incentive whatsoever to the club to offer concessionary tickets - yet they still do. Many other venues and experiences offer discounts for seniors and children that are only around 5 or 1...

Same here but I wouldn't say that the increase means that the Club don't want concessionary supporters. Also, I'm not sure that O65's and U22 are that poor that they should have a reduced price. Can't believe you don't think that. They've joined the Premier League cartel and will reduce and reduce ...

Yes I know they are members thanks. However, I didn’t think that they had priority for ticket sales over those with the required number of points when tickets first go on sale.
They can get them before they go on sale to those with 2,000 points.

That's either player complimentaries or sponsors/corporate passing their tickets on.
