Tonight at 8pm - Burnley are Back!
Tonight at 8pm (GMT, UK time) I shall be making myself a nice cuppa tea and sitting down to watch that classic VHS release - Burnley are Back!
Courtesy of the brilliant bfc 2017 Youtube account I shall be re-watching this lower-league masterpiece of suspense, drama and muddy pitches as the Mighty Clarets begin their long haul back to the top flight.
Please feel free to join me and comment here on the best, funniest, happiest or most poignant memories from those halcyon days.
Share your memories of that magical season!
Highlight will include:
* Paul Crichton letting in a hatful at Donny
* Lancashires hattrick in the 6-2 tubthumping of Andy Marriott's Wrectum
* Rivalries with clubs as poxy as Mansfield Town
* The derbies against Blackpool Town - 18,000 in Division Four!
* Jimmy Mullen's Claret & Blue Army!
* Roger Eli, Steve Davis (before he turned bad), Big John Pender, John Deary, John Francis and many, many more
* Trevor Quow
* That weird local news item where the kids explain the maths of promotion
* And of course ... "They came to York in their thousands, they're going home as Champions!"
Hope you can join me in the watch along.
UTC!

Trevor quow now that name brings back memories a 5 nil thrashing as I remember, always a name I associate with players of little pace and urgency, still makes me laugh when I think of the goal the manner in which Conroy glided past him ha ha

Don’t think you’ll be seeing Paul Crichton though.

He will, baseball cap on, if memory serves me right.
The goal keeper for either Rochdale or Halifax (will need to check) also lives in Burnley, his kid goes to the same school as mine, armed police now I think.

For anyone watching ...
The video's a bit jittery to start with but don't worry - I'm adjusting the tracking.
It'll settle down in a minute or two.

We're down to 11th.
Not looking good lads.
The board will probably go with the cheap option too. Terraces looking sparse and can't blame them - who'd want to watch that? Losing at home to friggin Rochdale!

It's 4-1 at half time!!!
Lancashire with a first half hattrick!
Unbelievable.
No wait, they've pulled one back. 4-2 at halftime.
More goals in this if we play it right.

Re: Tonight at 8pm - Burnley are Back!
Trevor Quow makes his debut.
"It's the speed-merchant John Francis up against Quow..."
Only one winner there
Reckon we can take advantage of Quow's lack of pace if we can isolate him.

"Forward by Davis ... Conroy on the chase - and he's got the pace to outrun Quow..."
He still might slide in and clear it off the line though ....
No, he couldn't quite make it.
He's probably still out there somewhere, running through treacle.
FT - Burnley 5-0 Northampton
