Third pic in post #264: The Halifax player clinging to the goal post is a young Phil Brown. The player on the opposite post is Paul Fleming, who infamously launched Neil Grewcock into the advertising hoardings in the Sherpa Van Northern Semi-Final at the Turf in 1988. The mere sight of Les Lawrence ...

I've just downloaded it. What a brilliant idea.

I've just checked. It was actually 1981.

The pavilion was demolished in 1980.

I spent the summer of 1992 putting up garden fences on a council housing estate in Haslingden. I was busy digging a hole for a fence post when I heard a clatter of metal in the next garden followed by some choice industrial language. I peered over the fence to see Leighton James, beetroot red face, ...

It was the commentator in the Sheffield United game who erroneously said it was our first ever Sunday game. Didn't we also play the 1994 play-off final on a Sunday? Mullen was definitely playing up to the cameras when we played Sheffield United. He was interviewed at half time and I could swear he'd...

I remember us being 0-2 down at home to Wrexham in the mid-80s and a bloke in the CFS throwing his season ticket onto the pitch in disgust before exiting the ground. We went on to win 5-2.

Love to see a picture of that. I love stuff on old grounds. Here you go. Does anyone know who the architect was for the Bob Lord Stand? I ask because I once heard a rumour that it was scaled back significantly when we were relegated in 1971. Before it was renovated in the mid-2000s, the South Stand...

You might not like it but it's a serious point. Is it better for the club to go to the wall, cease to exist and all of the creditors lose out or for them to be bought and shifted elsewhere? It's not like the new club will be taking another club's place. The other option will be no club. It might be...

Definitely a legend.

My problem is that I can't hear the words 'Premier League' without prefacing it with 'Barclays'. And that makes me think of Owen Coyle.

Do I need counselling?

also at the end of the season we could be in a relegation scrap with Villa and they pick up points because they have Heaton and we dont - we go down and lose £120M - false economy using that as an argument There's a lot of crystal ball gazing going on here. It's equally possible that we could get r...

But he could keep Villa up at our expense. So that zilch could have been worth 180 million. If he was going abroad or to a top 10 team, fair enough. Madness to strengthen a relegation rival for the sake of 8 million. Except that Tom Heaton no longer wants to play for Burnley. If you insist he stays...

Sausage

Doesn't matter, he is still under contract for 12 months and with Pope not fit then Heaton starts and keeps his place and we sell at the end of the season. We don't need to sell so why take such a gamble with possibly our Premier League future :o :shock: :x At the end of this season he leaves for n...

I can't understand why anyone would blame Sean Dyche or the board for this. If you have a player in the last year of his contract who a) won't sign a new contract; and b) wants away, the only thing you can do is sell them for as much as you can. Heats departs with my best wishes for giving us six ye...

We should have a team photo inside Queen Street Mill, with the working looms in the background.

Come on, you’re being a bit disingenuous there. Yes, technically what you say is true, but if people don’t vote based on who will become Prime Minister why is Johnson talking about defeating Corbyn (unless he intends to stand against him in Islington)? Why do people say they’ll never vote Labour wh...

Except today we're getting an undemocratically elected leader. Except that he was democratically elected by members of the Conservative Party.

Some of the football under Bond was fantastic. Worst football for me was under Waddle, particularly the first half of the season. Funnily enough, when he realised that Glen Little was fit to lace the gaffer's boots, the football improved. The football under Benson was also ****. How he got relegated...

I would have thought that the organisers of any outdoor event are obliged by the Equalities Act to provide suitable access arrangements for people with disabilities. Given the event being outdoors, the prospect of there being rain and therefore muddy conditions could reasonably have been foreseen. S...

Lot of respect from me for dsr on this thread. Absolutely nailed it. If an error is clear and obvious then it should take less than 30 seconds to establish. Five mins is a joke.

Done it a few times and tended not to celebrate when we scored. Notable exceptions were Watford (A) in 2002 when Paul Weller scored a last minute winner and at Wembley when Chris Wood equalised against Spurs. Pretty difficult to keep a lid on it in those circumstances. In the days before all-seater ...

No, it's the printer's job to print it to a design commissioned by the client.

Gambling advertisements are created by advertising agencies to a brief set by the client.

It's all about the client. They commission, they pay, they advertise, they make profits, they ruin lives.

You have very strong opinions on gambling; what is your view of BFC effectively being saved by Barry Kilby and his money which he made through his gambling business? I could be wrong (I often am) but I understood Kilby made his money through Europrint which manufactured scratch cards which, among o...

Not being funny but you should never trust a company to cancel a direct debit. Why didn't you cancel it yourself at the same time? If you want a job done properly, and all that.

The 3.33 protest was Tony Livesey's idea. I know because I was sat next to him at the Mechanics when he came up with the idea. ClaretTony was there too. The idea was to do something so novel that it would attract significant media attention. It worked to the extent that it got lots of media coverage...

Perhaps we should make the claim that we were the first team to win the leagues in the sequence 1st Division, followed by 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Burnley: 1, 2, 3, 4

2 Bee Holed, it is indeed Lancashire County Council that issues safety certificates for sports grounds. Presumably the work to the CFS is notifiable to LCC as it increases the overall capacity of the stand. If you have genuine concerns over the safety of the stand then you really should contact LCC ...

However, my better half doesn't like to go in one of the rooms at HC.

IV just opted out of my pension. My opinion is your putting in for a very long time and not getting very much out, yes your boss pays in and it's "free money" but it's only good if you get back everything you put in.
