Yeah, but apart from that, what have the Romans ever done for us ?FactualFrank wrote:Not lost in our last 3 games there, winning 1, drawing 2.

Quite simple, don’t go again.houseboy wrote:Well, there's the roads.
Seriously I have only ever seen defeats there but still like 'em.
I remember there being only 3 sides wasn't it something to do with the cricket field at the open end.joey13 wrote:I was there in 74 , remember there only being 3 sides

how did they play that game Joey ? Like a round robin, or amalgamate the teams ?joey13 wrote:I was there in 74 , remember there only being 3 sides

Same here. Was a great feeling when that free kick went in. Then Littlejohn spoiled it in the replayElectroClaret wrote:The Cup game in early 93 was my only visit.
2-2, think Inchy got sent off.
Big disappointment.
It is. Fairly big, atmospheric, modernised a bit but still an 'old school' feel to it and a city centre location. Last visit for the Notts' was that great 3-2 win in 2008.JimMcDonald wrote:One of the best grounds for me. Love going even though we never win there !

I also remember Heath being sent off for time wasting at home to Reading when we were losing! Kicked it over Shaka Hislop's head into the goalRowls wrote:Littlej*hn spoiled it in the first leg. Got Adrian Heath sent off.
Has any other player ever been sent off for being punched other than Adrian Heath?
Of course the sanitation, that goes without saying. But APART from the roads and the sanitation, what have the Romans ever done for us?Bosscat wrote:

You mean kicked it straight to Hislop who just let the ball sail past him .Selby Claret wrote:I also remember Heath being sent off for time wasting at home to Reading when we were losing! Kicked it over Shaka Hislop's head into the goal
It was way over his 6ft4in with addition 3ft reach for him to stop it*Quickenthetempo wrote:You mean kicked it straight to Hislop who just let the ball sail past him .
I remember him being interviewed after and arguing that Hislop was about 7 foot tall or similarQuickenthetempo wrote:You mean kicked it straight to Hislop who just let the ball sail past him .
Yes and threw a game of cricket in to bootMarney&Mee wrote:how did they play that game Joey ? Like a round robin, or amalgamate the teams ?
Mick Docherty was stretchered off if I remember rightlyRoyboyclaret wrote:It seemed like half of Burnley was there that day, with our fans on all three sides of the ground.
First game back in Division One and we won 2-0 with Doug Collins scoring a cracker. Also recall we played in a very unusual away kit, not sure we wore that one very often.
He was Joey, first game of the season and Docherty didn't play again for over a year.joey13 wrote:Mick Docherty was stretchered off if I remember rightly

Am I assuming you mean the opening day of the season in August 1973? The last ever cricket match at Bramall Lane had been played that month between Lancashire and Yorkshire.joey13 wrote:I was there in 74 , remember there only being 3 sides

That was the first time I saw Burnley win away from home. It was just my second away game and we'd lost at Blackburn in the first.Frenchclaret wrote:I was there in the early 1960’s when we won 1-0 with a goal from Alex Elder. This was an FA cup game and we went to reach the final.

Whenever I have been to watch a match, it has been 2 sides!joey13 wrote:I was there in 74 , remember there only being 3 sides

Didn't they score three in three minutes early in that game? Sabella was brilliant that day.Shipclaret wrote:I went when Alex Sabella beat us on his own - 4 nil down and hadn't had time to break the seal!
Absolutely.Royboyclaret wrote:He was Joey, first game of the season and Docherty didn't play again for over a year.
Uwe Noble took over the No.2 shirt and what a fabulous side that became as we finished 6th first time back in the top flight.
Stevenson, Noble, Newton, Dobson, Waldron, Thomson, Nulty, Casper, Fletcher, Collins & James.
One of the best teams ever to wear the Claret & Blue shirt.
Exactly. Nothing.bobinho wrote:Right. So, apart from the roads, the sanitation, the aqueduct, the wine, the education, the law and order, what have the Romans’ ever done for us?
Aye that's right - I remember now (was only a small kid then). I remember Littlejohn tearing us a new one down the wing and winding up the Longside in the replayRowls wrote:Littlej*hn spoiled it in the first leg. Got Adrian Heath sent off.

My thoughts too. Didnt Jagielka score an absolute screamer?kaptin1 wrote:Will never forget watching Gazza looking completely and utterly lost
