Perhaps it should have read the Duke of Edinburgh is introduced to Jimmy McIlroy.

Didn't realise we had an open top bus parade after losing. Was this normal in those days?

The town hall balcony is a dreadful spot for a celebration.
I’d use the ground but there has to be better in town.

Wales had one in 2016 and they didn't get to the finals in Euro 2016.

We complained about the poor effort in 2014 with the town hall and not much else so they did the same thing in 2016. It's an awful spot. We should have done what Leicester did and take it into a park.

I get that because they are 'minnows' in comparison. Burnley were a 1st Division side and had won the league recently, in fact I think we came 2nd that season?

Anyway, it might've been more of a tradition back then, these days we'd be laughed out if Proudsville if we celebrated being in a final like that these days.

I notice they couldn't identify the difference between of and off even back then, when education standards were supposed to be superior to those of today.

The bandstand in Scott park, with the fans to the south looking down would be good. General William's Landlord might agree. Car parking would be an issue though.
