The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Following on from the Crewe Alexandra thread and some of the stories coming out of there - mumps, 4-0 thumpings and golden goals, I got to thinking which ONE ground has given you the best and worst whilst watching the Clarets? Obviously Ewood will be high on the list of many a supporter but any other suggestions?
I`m about to think whilst giving my sick wife a leg massage...

Worst? - Bootham Crescent wading through the pool of **** in the awful toilets they had there
Best? - Bootham Crescent when we won the 4th Div title in the last minute.
Quick edit - thanks to Leisure for pointing out I hadn't read the question properly!

Barnes scoring a hat-trick (1997...3-1)/ the Mark Kendall experience (1992?...lost 5-2) - can you top that?????????????

Watching Barnes smash the opener at the Etihad with 8k clarets but the beer was undrinkable. Poured at 3 o clock in preparation for half time.

Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Guessing it would have to be Deepdale on a number of occasions.
The bad:
6-1 SVT / FRT
4 or 5 - 1 when Phil Eastwood scored to give us the lead then Nogan ran amock
5-3 under Stan
The good
3-1 SVT / FRT
2-1 Jack Cork header
1-0 Joey Barton free kick..............the Clarets are going up!

I think we had left by the time the 5th went in, didn't see our goal. The tipping point was when Pierce took a short free kick for offside to the left back (either Deakin or Bray) who wasn't looking. It went out for a PNE throw in much to the delight of the home fans. As the Burnley end was packed they escorted out 50 of us along the touchline to a small paddock at the far end. We were already 2-0 down, even the disabled were abusing us as we walked past. We were surrounded by PNE - to left, to the right and behind. They gave it us all game!
Apologies for leaving early!! And to think someone had a go at me for leaving early against Spurs before Christmas.

Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
My good at Deepdale would have to be winning the old second division in '72. Was like a home game only better. It didn't matter that both teams needed a point for different reasons and the second half was like watching paint dry. The atmosphere and the result was all that mattered that day.TheFamilyCat wrote:I was at all your bad choices but none of the good; my "goods" there would the the 3-2 wins under Waddle and Stan when Arthur bagged a brace.
Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Is this cheating?
Wembley v Wolves really wanted us to win that one
Wembley v Sheff Utd never thought in my life time we would get a crack at the best league in the world
p.s.
was also at the Stockport final and enjoyed that too lol UTC

Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Always liked going on the old Burnden Park, found it quite atmospheric.
I remember us beating Bolton there in the mid Eighties 3-0 or 3-1, can't recall the
exact season, but it was in the old Third Division. Then they built that daft supermarket
behind the goals.
However, those fond thoughts rapidly disappeared in April 1988 when we were beaten
2-1. We'd seen some trouble in the ground during the game and after, when we were in the car
in the line of traffic trying to get off the car park behind the aforementioned supermarket, a
big group of Bolton fans come down the line of cars looking for Burnley number plates
or colours and then smashing their windows. You could actually see the glass flying.
They got to about three cars away when the Old Bill turned up. Frightening.
Heard after there was loads of trouble in the ground.
Anyone remember that game and the trouble?

Burnden.
Winning 2-1 with a Brennan screamer(2-1-78). They ended up as Champs.
Winning 3-1 and Neil Grewcock got a screamer(2-3-85). We ended up relegated
Losing 3-0 When Seamus McDonagh scored out of hand(15-1-83). We both got relegated.

Very lively inside the ground, from about 2:30 till full time there was all sorts of missiles been hurled by both sets of fans on Burnden terrace. Coins, pies, bricks, bottles the lot. Took ages to get off the car park after but it did look to be kicking off at entrance / exit of the car park.

I was at the 3-1 game too with my Bolton fan mate, think it was 2-1 to us after about 5 minutes.
Also sat with the home fans when we lost 4-0 under Mullen. Closest we came to scoring was a shot that rebounded off the supermarket wall. Looked a bit odd when we left after their 4th on the hour! Sorry for leaving early again!!
Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Turf Moor (don't think the question specified away ground). (Edit: The word Away was in the title - my mistake ....so Ewood then)
Losing 6-1 to Hereford.
Beating Dirty Leeds 5-1 and too many others to remember.
But away ......Ewood.

Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Been loads of times when it's been dire, leaving numerous grounds.
Wolves, in the 70's when we got relegated.
Losing to the Mags in the semi is legendary.
As a young lad, losing a 2-0 lead in the mid 60s at Old Trafford. (Still never seen the 1st team win there)
Ewood...spit... Derby County games weren't much fun once either.
Blackpool in the cup was crap....Telford...Hereford at home just after Rochdale had stuffed us.
For utter empty desolation, leaving Crewe in the run up to the Orient game won't, for me, ever, ever be beaten.
Been a lot of good times too.
Spurs away. York. Carlisle. Wembley. Even losing to Derby under Mullen was amazing. (Well, the fans were)
Beating, not just beating either, playing the dirty gits off their own park, the 'unbeatable' Leeds 4-1 at there place will always be special though.
Ooops
Sorry...
Missed the same ground angle..
Been a long day.
Come on, Yeovil!

Half time under the terrace and the wooden doors went in. Bolton were somehow armed with scaffolding poles. I got hit by a flying China teacup 2nd half. Bit hairy outside as I was on crutches having broken my foot and toes playing football the week before. There was a pub of Burnley fans surrounded by Bolton and attacked and there was also an incident with the train on the way home with Rovers fans at Darwen.

Yes, maybe he did, Cat.
Re: The best and worst experiences at the same away ground
Carlisle '92 when we took over the ground in anticipation then we went back there in August '93 as 4th Division Champions in the 1st Round of the League Cup and got hammered 4-1 in the 1st Leg.
I also remember a 3-0 drubbing on a Friday night at Ninian Park which was in direct contrast to the 2-0 win there in '92.
I was also at Cardiff the match before Sir Sean took over which was a 4-0 drubbing.
