Bob Lord must have had turnstiles that didn't register people, when you look at the crowd and then the official attendance. You couldn't get many more in there but the ground officially held over 40,000 and the attendance was 32,000

Football is a form of entertainment, sadly it wasn't for the last couple of seasons. It's certainly entertaining now. Brilliant to watch UTC

I tried to think of a pun involving Neopolitan but couldn't

Due to this being highlighted Napoli have objected to him referring to them as " Ice Cream Merchants" in the sixties. This is known as the " Ripple effect"

Did he play football Jimmy would I have know him?

He only played at kickabouts on Edgeside, I think following the Clarets was more important to him than playing in local leagues.

Hi Tony, he was known as "Willie " when we were kids in Waterfoot/Edgeside area of Rossendale

Tony he was always be known as "Willie" when were kids.

Hi Tony , just read your dedication. He was my age, and I had known him since childhood. A massive clarets fan

Unfortunately Stephen "Willie" Wells has passed away. He was a Rossendale Claret and attended most home and away games. R.I.P

In the late sixties we played Liverpool in a night match. The old Cricket Field end had been taken over by Liverpool fans well before the Kick off. Me and my mate walked under the stand through the concourse in order to get to the Longside where the Burnley fans were assembled en masse. All we heard...

I have got one for tonights game, with no writing on!

I miss the prematch pint etc and the craic on the ground.
but the more this goes on I am missing the football less and less.
The games on TV are sterile

Mine has just gone in today

Arthur Bellamy used to come up to St Theodores to train us on Tuesdays (unless Burnley had lost on the Saturday or had a Tuesday Game) . A proper Gentleman

Cheers Jimmy, see you at the Turf circa 2025

So Soon

Good luck on your recovery John , from Jimmy (who sits next to you in the JHU )

That final was a memorable day, with a crowd never likely to be repeated.We were sat on the grass bank behind the seats as there was no room on the seats , we created a mountain of empty cans as the day progressed

You can order online at B&Q pay online then collect items. They insist you remain in your vehicle put your goods near the boot and once they have goneyou load into your vehicle

The managers comment that the pitch was too dry.... The first time in football history a pitch in Burnley, or the whole of Lancashire has ever been criticized for being too dry in February, unbelievable comment

I thought it was great that lads on our Bench all stood up and applauded as he came off. Must be a real confidence booster on top of that performance

I always remember what my dad said just before he kicked the bucket " I am going to kick this bucket"

I will never forget the atmosphere that night. The Old Standing Cricket Field End (where my Dad said I wasn't allowed to stand there, but did) was rocking. When the Centre half kicked Andy Lochead in the head the fans were going berserk, I even remember a wristwatch being thrown on to the pitch, and...

We used to be on our way in to Angels/Cats and state categorically that there is no way we could buy anything of the Manky Burger stalls, come two o clock and "I'll have a burger and a hot dog please, yes onions on both"

Looking out of my window in Rossendale it is currently a white Friday as it is snowing hard, good weather for Southern Softies on Sunday!!

We used Ramsbottom double glazing a few years ago, good quality but cheaper than all the other quotes

Will there be Chicken in a Basket (case) ?

I remember the Man U 67 game the old Cricket field End Stand was completely full of United , as well as the Longside. Burnley fans were being hounded all the game and getting their scarves nicked, horrible atmosphere
