Some people eh? It was my 18th in June of '72 and our relegation kinda took the edge off that. I had never known anything but 1st Division football and it devastated me. Had I known what was to come over the next few years it would have felt a whole lot worse.Dyched wrote:We didn’t in 2004 either Plus it was our 4th straight year in the championship.

It is the absolute truth.
If this is the case, it’s a seriously unguarded opinion for a Board Member to make to a prominent fan. I really hope this isn’t an opinion endorse by the Management Team.tybfc wrote:Only just seen this.

Bloody nightmare mate. I do have one fond memory though of a huge bearded Celtic fan with a handful of others in the home section, he was (I kid you not) carrying a bottle of whiskey, swigging it, going in for a fight, coming out covered in blood, another swig etc. etc. He was relentless. Wound up in the Bee Hole talking to some older Celts who said they had never seen anything like it, even against Rangers. I still blame other fans for a lot of that, there were hundreds of people on the Longside I'd never seen before at the Turf and my guess is they'd just come for the fight. Two good results on the pitch though eh?Silkyskills1 wrote:'back in the 70's when Celtic came in the AS cup... that was fun'
I take it you were there that night. Like something out of the Dark Ages. Neanderthals everywhere you looked. I was on the Longside that night and glad to escape it onto the pitch just after we scored. Didn't see the rest of the game and just wanted to get as far away from Turf Moor as possible. It's been done to death on this site but still lingers in the memories of people who were there like me and presumably you too.
Take a quick look at the away goal at Everton that won us the game. 25 passes and into the net. Even MOtD were purring about it and they don't like us.ARCHIE..MAC..PHERSON wrote:ABERDEEN have nothing to fear at turf moor .Burnley are HOOFBALL merchants rarely see them stringing two passes together thats how they got points away from home in the premier league .

Thanks, although slightly depressing to hear.tybfc wrote:Yes.
Too many games in too short a time possibly in Instanbul and places further afar on a Thursday and then playing Premier League on a Sunday.
He wanted us to concentrate on the Premier League alone where the money is.
Yep. Commented to the Aberdeen fan who ran our apartment how great everything went. Great banter between both sets of fans and no trouble. HE told us two lads who were staying at the same place as us had been arrested for bottling Aberdeen fans Pathetic.neilthedon wrote: Seems that after we left around 7pm to get to match some less clever Burnley-ites started throwing bottles around .

COYR.
100% with you.houseboy wrote:Hi you two. Don't take too much notice of some on here, they can't see beyond the PL and all it's money. Personally I want us to play our full strength side and give you lot a damn good thrashing ( ) and then go on to glory and ..... oh sorry got a bit carried away there. Anyway I want us to do as well as we possibly can in this competition and if that means a risk to our beloved PL status then so be it.
Have a great time in Burnley and I hope the locals are as friendly as you lot were with us. We don't want a repeat of the Battle of Turf Moor back in the 70s when Celtic came in the AS cup. That was fun, I believe there was a game of football on that night as well.
I hope you nutted him.tybfc wrote:I was talking to one of our senior directors at Manchester airport before travelling to Aberdeen and he was desperate for us to get knocked out.
Pathetic but as i expected. Hence the thread. Disappointing to say the least.JohnDearyMe wrote:Thanks, although slightly depressing to hear.
Amen to that. I know many disagree with me but what's the point of it all if all you want is PL survival. I think it would become a tad boring if that is all we ever aspired to.cricketfieldclarets wrote:100% with you.
I would take a run to the latter stages of this and finish 17th any day.
Hell I would take the league cup and 17th!
I agree absolutely. What are the highspots of watching Burnley? 1982-83 cup runs, Orient match (but not the season leading up to it!), York away 4th division champions, Jimmy Mullen's Claret & Blue Army at Derby, 1-0 Cup win at Derby, 2 Wembley playoff wins, Scunthorpe away on the big screen, League Cup run under Coyle, 2 promotions to Premier League. There may be others. But what those all have in common is that none of them involve mid-table league finishes.houseboy wrote:Amen to that.

Exactly. And there's no fun in sitting watching someone else make money.tybfc wrote:Money!
It's great to see that there are some on here who agree with me. Where indeed is the excitement of turning up to watch your club making money?dsr wrote:I agree absolutely.

If Premier League football is all that matters, I can watch that on Sky. Frankly, it's not the opponents that I come to watch - it's Burnley. And ideally, it's Burnley winning things. If we're going to give up any hope of ever winning things, and if we're going to try our best to ensure that none of the excitements listed above can happen again, then what's the point?
As I have said in a previous post and as DSR has said in essence, when I started watching Burnley all those years ago it wasn't to stand (at that point) and encourage them to have an ever growing bank balance. If all the board want (and I'm certain they don't) is to continue with the clubs ever-growing bank balance then I think I'd give up.tybfc wrote:Money!
Absolutely, without a doubt. But would it be fun EVERY year if year after year we gave up on all else just to keep finishing 7th? It would all get a bit pointless don't you think?Tall Paul wrote:Last season was pretty good fun.
